Valverde had a big interview yesterday. He talked about many things going on in Real Madrid and career overall.
Fede’s future in his hands
Fede Valverde, in his process of assuming more gallons, is becoming a regular in speaking. He was one of those chosen after the victory in Balaídos and today, for a brief interview with the club, he repeated. The Uruguayan joked when asked about the evolution of his nickname, because some no longer call him Pajarito , but Halcon. He pointed out that the tie against Chelsea is a “revenge” and was very honest when asked about the wear and tear of international travel : “I’m a bit tired, sometimes it’s hard to sleep.” The coach of Uruguay (Diego Alonso), jokingly, said about Halcon and my teammates followed him. I think that Pajarito grew up and became a Halcon. I feel prepared head and body to be one; to show my courage here in Madrid,” he assured. In addition, he recognized with sovereign transparency what affects him, at the level of fatigue, long trips: “Honestly, I’m a little tired of the trips, they are long, they are many hours and sometimes it is hard to sleep”.
Praising Courtois and Karim Benzema
Lastly, he praised the level shown by Courtois and Benzema at Balaídos: “They are very important. It would be better if Thibaut worked as little as possible, but it is a luxury to have him because he is a star as a player and as a person. Karim has already shown the class and courage that he has in many games. He is always there to show his face and face any adversity”.
