Real Madrid Confidencial Fede Valverde's Impressive Record in the Champions League, Nobody Can Reach It
Fede Valverde is one of the key pieces in Carlo Ancelotti's plans.
Fede Valverde amazes everyone with the level displayed throughout this season. Real Madrid's midfielder is starting in almost every game and doesn't need the same rest as the rest.
In fact, the player himself admits that his goal is to play as many games as possible and that he recovers quickly between games.
Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti and Antonio Pintus are astonished by Fede Valverde's physical endurance. They are very alert to his case, as the number of minutes he plays could put him at risk of a muscle injury. However, the Uruguayan has a great ability to pace himself during games and recovers quickly, allowing him to stay on the field so often.
Fede Valverde's new record in the Champions League
Fede Valverde has played all the games in the first phase of the Champions League. His stats in the first eight games are very positive, although there are some numbers that stand out above the rest.
According to 'Squawka', Fede Valverde has accumulated a total of 19 interceptions in the current edition of the Champions League. The Uruguayan has one more than Ryan Gravenberch and Álvaro Carreras—both with 18—and three more than other players like Florentino or Boscagli.
Fede Valverde, a key piece for Real Madrid
Fede Valverde has become one of the essential pillars for Carlo Ancelotti. His tireless work on the field allows him to provide balance to the team. Additionally, the Uruguayan also contributes in attack, as he has scored several goals so far this season.
He is one of the indispensable starters and will continue to be in all key matches. He has often been underestimated, but he is a very complete player. Besides his power and physical ability, he has a great connection with his teammates and is excellent at delivering long passes.
Finally, the Uruguayan has managed to perfectly adapt to ToniKroos's position, although he is not the same type of player. However, Carlo Ancelotti doesn't understand the team without Fede Valverde in the midfield.
