Fede Valverde explains the first anger with Carlo Ancelotti during the Real Madrid relationship

Midfielder of Real Madrid Faith Valverde He could be considered one of the most loyal soldiers of Carlo Ancelotti, but they did not always see eye to eye. The Uruguayan explained that he was not always excited about being used by the right-hander.

For most of his 2021-22 season, Valverde was used on the right side of the midfield, not for the first time either, but it became his usual position. He was also moved around midfield on various occasions.

This year he has still played on the right at times, but has also moved into the middle alongside Toni Kroos, where he has shown his best form this season. On international duty, he discussed his position changes.

“I learned to really value the game where they want it to be played. When I started my time with Ancelotti I had that anger of… why should I change my position? But then I learned to value what the coach asks you to know how to mature in different parts of the game and that if the coach asks you to help in another position, you must evaluate, understand and get the most out of it for the good of the team.”

“And coming from him, from Ancelotti … playing for Real Madrid is not easy, you have to hold on and never let go of that opportunity,” he explained to La Quinta Tribuna, as quoted by AS Diary.

With the departure of Toni Kroos and the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, Valverde will fancy his chances of starting in the middle of midfield again, in his more traditional deeper role. In any case, his lung races are a dangerous weapon for Real Madridand there is no doubt that playing further forward has added to his game.
