Federico Valverde, Real’s midfielder, has said he won’t hesitate to ‘cut up’ Alvaro Morata again if he gets the chance.
Real Madrid midfielder Fédé Valverde says he would be willing to repeat the aggression he committed during the 2020 Spanish Super Cup final.
Valverde ready to take on the bad role
Valverde attacked Alvaro Morata when the latter appeared in a one-on-one with Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the 115th minute of the match. He then saw red, but he allowed Real to win the match.
Ahead of Wednesday night’s semi-final against Atlético, he insisted that “of course I would do it again”. “As long as it’s for the team.” If we lose 3-0 it doesn’t make sense. In this final, we played the game, it was very close. And if the scenario is the same, I would do it again. For the team, for my values. You always have to leave everything for the team.”
Valverde then said that he was highly motivated before this confrontation, even if it is only the Spanish Super Cup. “For me, it’s very nice to play these matches. In Madrid, the best thing is to compete against the best and Atlético are the best in the world. On Wednesday we know we are fighting for a title. The Cup and the Champions League will also be important and will determine whether we will compete for all the titles. We want to show the fans that we are going to fight for all the trophies.”
