Xabi Alonso made a very nice statement about Valverde!

After yesterday’s Club World Cup match between Real Madrid and Juventus, Xabi Alonso made a very nice statement about Valverde!

Real Madrid got a great coach in Xabi Alonso.

Alonso said that life is much easier when you have Valverde because

he is a complete player with and without the ball and with his leadership.

But the most beautiful part of this statement was Alonso’s explanation of Valverde’s characteristics to the journalists.

Alonso told them that Valverde has the same characteristics as Steven Gerrard,

he can play in many positions and his strengths are not not receiving with his back to goal,

but his strengths are acceleration and heading towards the penalty area!

As a result, in the last two games, when Valverde has used him above and inside the lines in close proximity to the goal,

he has made 9 attempts, 5 of them on goal, and overall has scored 2 goals in the FIFA World Cup so far!

The best thing about Alonso is that in a short time he was able to understand and study the characteristics of most players with their strengths and weaknesses,

he also said that using Arnold on the line is problematic because he can’t deal with 1vs1 situations.

Real Madrid got a great coach in Xabi Alonso.
