The head coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, spoke about Federico Valverde after the match of the 11th round of the Spanish championship against Sevilla (3:1).
"I risked my coaching license when I spoke about Valverde's performance. He scored just one goal last season. You can rely on Fede, he is very responsible.
The Ballon d'Or has now been won by Benzema, but we'll see what happens next year. Valverde can get him, why not?" Ancelotti was quoted as saying by Marca.
We will remind that the Uruguayan midfielder put an end to the match with Sevilla by scoring the third goal of Madrid. The goal was Valverde's sixth in La Liga this year.
