Federico Valverde’s Honest Take on Sevilla Win Sparks Club World Cup Hopes

After securing the win over Sevilla, Federico Valverde spoke to Real Madrid TV, and the Uruguayan midfielder shared his analysis of the result. The defense, which had conceded a goal in their last four matches across all competitions, put together a clean sheet (via Bernabeu Digital).

A great match. The effort was from everyone. It was a strange atmosphere. In this club, you always play with everything on the line, and today we weren’t risking much. But you have to defend this jersey.Federico Valverde

Valverde also shared his thoughts on the upcoming Club World Cup, as Real Madrid aims to claim the title with new manager Xabi Alonso set to take charge. The competition will allow the Spanish side to win a trophy and build positive momentum heading into next season as they hope it brings better fortunes.

As always. With a lot of enthusiasm and excitement. Proud to represent Real Madrid. Just like this club demands. And something the fans deserve—to enjoy another title.Federico Valverde

Real Madrid will be one of the favorites to win the competition and they will have many supporters cheering them on in the United States this summer.
