The Uruguayan Valverde speaks of “frustration” and recognizes the decline at Real Madrid: “The World Cup hit me”

Fede ValverdeUruguayan midfielder real Madridacknowledged his decline in performance after arguing the Qatar World Cup 2022where the bad result with his team has admitted that he “hit”, convinced that he will emerge stronger from a bad experience.

“The World Cup impressed me. When you go to goal, you have such a delusion and optimism that everything will be fine with your country. You go with the dream of a child who represents millions of people to try to go as far as possible and fight to win, not being able to do it saddens you. Everything we work on seems to have served no purpose and it hurts,” he acknowledged at a press conference at the Príncipe Moulay Abdellah stadium.

with a message from self-criticismFede took a positive reading: “It must serve to continue to improve my physical shape and to take on certain moments. Good things don’t always happen in football and you have to know how to bring it. I arrived with a very good performance and now it’s not the same but it’s part of football. There are always setbacks and you have to continue with the same attitude to continue being important at Real Madrid, to be the captain I always wanted and, little by little, to get back to my good performance.”

The Uruguayan midfielder thanked the support of his family to “evade problems” and admitted the “frustration“You feel in the last few games that you haven’t seen yourself at your level on the pitch.

“I try to have fun on the pitch but when the results don’t come, not even on a personal level, it generates frustration and anger. Against Atleti I came out sad and the same against Mallorca. We are very competitive, we always want to win and when I start with a result I don’t want it makes me angry. I have to keep improving and learning because you can’t always win even if you work to win as much as possible.”

Within hours of Real Madrid’s debut in the Club World Cup semi-final against Al Ahly, the Uruguayan midfielder has recovered fond personal memories of the competition.

“It was my first title and it was very special, it meant a lot in my career. It’s a beautiful title on the road to getting here, everything you have to fight for and what winning the title generates Samples how we did it and against the rivals we did it against. It’s the end of the road and we hope to close it in a good way. I enjoy every day and every moment at Real Madrid. I am happy and excited to play this competition tomorrow,” he said.

After the criticisms of his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, on the schedule and injuries of several Real Madrid players, he was surprised by Fede Valverde’s position of acceptance of “modern football” as it is structured with three games a week.

“It’s part of the modern football, we play more and more, there is less rest, there are many hours of travel. This year between the World Cup (selections) and the Club World Cup it’s tough, but I always try to get the positive.”

“You have to keep improving physically, learn in your head so you don’t get injured, get used to and live modern football. It’s growing, we play more and more and there’s less rest. As a player I have to keep training and adapt to the new football, which it must be played every two or three days and hopefully always 90 minutes,” he condemned.
