Xabi Alonso addresses rumours of conflict with Valverde
All appears to be well within the team.
Real Madrid won against Kairat Astana in their second UEFA Champions League group-stage match, but Fede Valverde did not play, raising questions about the midfielder.
Details: Initial reports suggested that Valverde had a disagreement with head coach Xabi Alonso, reportedly unhappy with his varying positions on the field. However, these claims now seem to be inaccurate.
Alonso addressed these rumors at a press conference, stating there are no conflicts with his players and no one has raised concerns about their positions.
Quote: “Not a single player in the squad has told me he doesn’t want to play in a certain position. They are all ready to play wherever needed,” said the Spanish coach.
In response to the speculation, Valverde mentioned he had seen multiple articles damaging his reputation.
Reminder: Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé, who scored a hat-trick against Kairat in the Champions League, was reportedly unhappy with the actions of his teammate Vinícius Júnior.
