Real Madrid, plagued by repeated injuries on the right flank of its defense, found an emergency solution: reposition Federico Valverde as right-back. This decision, reported by A.S.once again demonstrates the versatility of the Uruguayan midfielder, often used as a “Swiss army knife” by Carlo Ancelotti.
A choice forced by injuries
With the prolonged unavailability of Lucas Vazquez and Dani Carvajal, Valverde will have to occupy this position for at least a month. Although he has played this position in the past, this repositioning does not seem to completely suit him. His wife has not hidden her dissatisfaction with these tactical choices, recently declaring: “Brother, where Fede plays best is as a torchbearer. What are you talking about? Hahahahahahaha! When are you going to understand once and for all that Fede is not a fucking winger? “.
A test for the next few weeks
If Valverde has always performed well whatever his role, this new responsibility could limit his natural influence in midfield, where he excels as a relay player. The coming weeks, with crucial meetings in La Liga and the Champions League, will allow us to judge whether this tactical bet is a success.
