Paco González asks Xabi for a change with Fede Valverde: 'I don't think...'

Fede Valverde has been one of the most important players for Real Madrid for several seasons now. All the recent coaches who have managed the team in recent years have given him an important role. It can't be a coincidence, and Xabi knows it well, which is why he has spoken highly of him.

Since he is versatile and has done a fantastic job in several positions, there are doubts about what his best spot on the field might be. Some believe he should play as a midfielder, others as a right interior... On COPE they've been debating this issue and Paco González is certain about it. 

"It seems to me that the idea of the game is very clear, it's lacking continuity and I think that finally repositioning Valverde.  I wouldn't be surprised if, when Bellingham and Camavinga are available, he ends up playing on the right. He already tried it in a Club World Cup match," said Paco González on El Partidazo de COPE.

A key footballer

"My relationship with Fede Valverde is very good, and it has been from the beginning, I can ask him for anything I want, and everything I ask of him, he does. I can't ask for anything more, Fede Valverde is essential for us. His leadership and his influence on others are essential," were Xabi's latest words about the Uruguayan.

Everyone at the club is delighted with the performance he is delivering. Perhaps his prominence is a bit less visible, but he is essential for the team's proper functioning. In addition, it should not be forgotten that he is the second captain, and he is a person who is very well liked by everyone in the locker room.

There is no debate

At Real Madrid, they aren't worried about Fede Valverde, quite the opposite. They are sure that he will improve a lot with Xabi Alonso and will further enhance his history with the club. He can do well in any position, and that is precisely one of his greatest virtues. 

Between Xabi Alonso and Fede Valverde, they will find the best version, which will be what best suits the team. The Uruguayan is a footballer who always sacrifices for his teammates, always prioritizes the collective above all else. It's no coincidence that he is one of the most beloved players by the club and the fans.
