Federico Valverde did not take part of the Real Madrid success this Tuesday on the lawn of Kaïrat Almaty (5-0) in the Champions League. Well present in the Madrid group for this trip to Kazakhstan, the Uruguayan milieu remained on the bench.
And the absence of number 8 did not go unnoticed. Quickly, a rumor started to circulate, suggesting that the vice-captain of the Whiteos would have refused to play right side. A position where Xabi Alonso must deal with the injuries of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dani Carvajal.
“I will never give up”
Faced with speculations, Valverde wanted to restore the truth in a message published on social networks. “I read several articles that hurt me. I know I made bad games, I am aware of it. I don't hide anything and say it openly. I'm really sad. You could say a lot about me, but in no case can we say that I refused to play. I gave everything and even more for this club. I played despite fractures and injuries, and I never complained or asked for a break ”said the South American.
And to continue: “I have a good relationship with my coach, which allows me to tell him with confidence in which post I like to play on the field most, but I always let him know that I am available to play any post, to all matches. I left my soul in this club and I will continue to do it, even if sometimes it is not enough or that I do not play as I would like, I swear that I will never give up and that I will fight to the end, no matter where I play. »»
