Federico Valverde, a Real Madrid midfielder, has flatly dismissed allegations that he has refused to play in specific positions for Los Blancos, underlining his unshakable commitment to the club. Valverde addressed the media ahead of Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League encounter.
“You can ask all my coaches, I have always told them that I am ready to play anywhere on the pitch and do whatever you want. The rumours are LIES, I have never said NO to playing anywhere at Real Madrid. I will do whatever the manager says, always.”
Valverde’s comments come amid speculation about his role in the squad, particularly after injuries to right-backs Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Uruguay international acknowledged that while he might not have grown up as a full-back, he has stepped into that role in emergencies and remains available should the coach require him.
“It’s a privilege to play for Real Madrid,” added Valverde. “I’ve always given my best in every position, with coaches Carlo Ancelotti, Zinedine Zidane, and Xabi Alonso. I'm always for the team and I’m going to die for Real Madrid.”
The 26-year-old also admitted some frustration with his recent form but reaffirmed his determination to bounce back and lead his teammates through challenging times.
