Real Madrid is fortunate to count in its ranks Federico Valverde. The Uruguayan midfielder never ceases to show the full extent of his talent and versatility. Indeed, in recent weeks, it is at the post of right side that the South American is helping out.
And the least we can say is that Valverde was able to respond. His performances were convincing enough to allow him to get ahead of Lucas Vazquez in the hierarchy in the absence of Dani Carvajal, unavailable for several months due to a serious knee injury. Present at a press conference this Saturday, on the eve of the reception of the Rayo Vallecano in Liga, Carlo Ancelotti took stock of the state of form of his player and his repositioning.
“In the future, he will be …”
“He's going well, he is available after being ready to play against Atletico Madrid. It is in good condition and can play. I know perfectly where he likes to play less, that is to say as a right-of-law, and he likes to play as a side. In the future, it will be, and it is already, an environment … not a side “said the Italian technician.
Left on the bench against Girona (2-0 victory) on February 23, the native of Montevideo was then not summoned against Betis Seville (defeat 1-2) on March 1 in Liga, nor against Real Sociedad (1-0 victory) in the King's Cup on February 26, due to a lesion to the femoral biceps. Back on the field against Atlético Madrid (2-1 victory) in the knockout stages of the Champions League on Tuesday, he was not yet completely recovered from his injury.
