The head coach of Madrid's "Real" team, Xabi Alonso, is actively utilizing the versatility of midfielder Federico Valverde. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The 26-year-old player started in the center during today's Champions League quarter-final match against Dortmund's "Borussia," and was later moved to the right-back position. Thus, Alonso has tested the Uruguayan player in various positions from defense to attack in just five games under his management of the "royal club."
Xabi Alonso was appointed head coach in early June, replacing Carlo Ancelotti. During Ancelotti's tenure, Valverde was also played in defense, especially when other defenders were injured, on the right flank.
As Alonso introduces new tactics and field strategies to the team, Valverde, despite his age, has taken on an important role in the squad. His adaptability provides the coach with the flexibility to change tactics during the game.
This is considered a crucial factor in enhancing "Real's" competitiveness and achieving successful results. Valverde can perform effectively in several positions with his physical strength, technique, and speed.
Xabi Alonso is striving to make full use of his capabilities. Thus, the coach aims to strengthen the team further and achieve high results in the Champions League.
