Real Madrid star Fede Valverde has told his team-mates they must fall in line behind manager Xabi Alonso, following the defeat at Liverpool in the Champions League. The Uruguayan midfielder, who was used when he returned to Anfield, also analyzed the causes of their defeat.
Valverde, speaking to Movistar + after the match, said his side will get over the loss quickly.
“We wanted to win, today was our chance to lose. We are very grateful to the people who came to support us in this weather. We are growing, we are making it difficult, as we made it past, as we did after it, as we did after the loss of Atlético Madrid.”

Valverde analyzes the causes of defeat – ‘tortured’
One of the criticisms from Spain was that Real Madrid did not have the aggressiveness to fight against Liverpool, but like Alenso, he emphasized the ‘details’ and the protection of pieces.
“We have the attitude that there are many games in the end and if you lose here, you can be sure that you will win the Sheriff, and you are not close to win the victory.” He told Marca.
“[It was] Not a lack of condition, [it was] The lack of focus there marked their set pieces, which we knew were very strong, that they came in with a lot of energy. We had to pay more attention. We have some of the best sensors in the world, if not the best. And, in the end, this is football. “
‘We have to accept what Xabi Alonso says’ – Valverde
Valverde’s relationship with Alonso has been called into question in recent weeks, especially after he made it clear that they were frustrated with him defensively – because they only work at left-back. He told El Chiringuito that he and his teammates should accept what Alonso wants.
“As a captain, we must accept what the manager says, and not respond with a sour face, or gestures, or any words, we will be difficult.” If the manager says something, we have to follow it. “

It’s true, the highest case of OPPELO THAT’S THAT THAT’S WONDERFULLY WATCHING VINICUUS Junior’s Outburst in Alonso. He told El Chiringuito that Vinicius’ attitude hit the right spot.
“In the end, vini, he’s our vini. It’s the things that happen in the dugout, the things that happen on the ball. He always wants to win, and let’s always find that mood of wanting to play, and give the best to the team.”
