Valverde: "It was a really good performance, we pressed well and found space"
"We have to congratulate Gonzalo, it was his night; he deserves it," added our captain.
Fede Valverde was one of the standout performers in our team's win over Betis in the LaLiga matchday 18 clash. Our captain spoke to Realmadrid TV about the game: “It was a really good performance. In the first 30-35 minutes of the first half, it was unbelievable: we pressed, played well, and found the space. The closing minutes of the first half are something we need to keep working to improve on. We have to maintain the same levels of intensity and concentration. We took our foot off the gas too much because of the score, and they attacked us a lot and created chances.”
“Of course, we have to congratulate Gonzalo, it was his night. He deserves it, he always works hard, always gives everything for the team, and never misses a game. He deserves everything that went his way today.”
Walking out with his children
“It makes me want to cry. It fills me with so much happiness to walk out with my kids, for them to see where their father is, where we’re playing, and what we’re experiencing. It was very special for me.”
Super Cup
“Now we need to rest up, take a bit of a breather, and find the energy that’s hard to recover after a game. We need it to head into the Super Cup, which is really important.”
