“Valverde is a total player”

The “exuberant” moment that lives Federico Valverde in real Madrid -where he has already scored eight goals this season- was highlighted this Friday by the coach of Uruguay, diego alonso.

“He has been having an exuberant performance, it is already noticeable and it is constant. We are happy and it makes us very happy. In general, all the players who were reserved made it difficult for me because they had a very good performance,” he said in a round press conference held at the stadium Centenary of Montevideo.

He pointed out that in the case of Valverde he is happy with his growth, which speaks not only about his soccer qualities but also his human qualities, which lead him to constantly challenge himself even when “in a good place”.

On the other hand, about his most scoring version -he scored six goals in The Spanish league and two more in Champions League of UEFA– Alonso assured that the Uruguayan midfielder was “a total player” who, under his orders, stood in up to three different positions on the field of play.

Accordingly, he added: “Federico played as a center back and as a winger in real Madrid and in Castile, so think you can play anything. He’s a great football player.”

At the press conference, Alonso also consulted the situation of the center of Barcelona Ronald Araujo and the physical trainer Atletico Madrid Oscar Ortega. As for the former, who is recovering from an injury that required surgery, he made sure to wait for her until the end.

Contrary to this, he does not want to comment on the situation of Ortegawho will almost certainly work with him as he did in the South American qualifiers, although the Uruguayan Football Association has yet to make it official.
