Federico Valverde has been a man of action in recent weeks. In addition to his great form, he is adding numbers and becoming the driving force behind Real Madrid. With a beautiful goal, he made his presence felt again in the Champions League against Leipzig. And Marco Asensio also scored a wonderful goal.
Ever since the spring of last season, Valverde has been one of the keys to Real Madrid’s success. From the right wing, he often complemented the midfield and helped outnumber the opponents, and the fans praised his tireless work.
But since the new season, he has added numbers. He has 3 goals and 2 assists in his last six games, and he is always there when he is needed.
First he scored in the 4:1 win against Espanyol, then against Betis he passed to Rodrigue for the winning goal for 2:1. Then, in the Champions League, a wonderful pass found Vinícius, who opened the scoring, and at the weekend against Mallorca, he showed a solo run across half the pitch, which he finished with a shot with his weaker foot into the net.
And he continues to show his importance. Against Leipzig in the Champions League, Real struggled for a long time and couldn’t find a recipe against their German opponents. In the end, he had to wait until the 80th minute.
Vinícius drew a defender to him on the left wing and crossed the ball across the width of the box, where Valverde found it. Like a skilled crafter, he hooked a sliding opponent and sent the ball into the net with a weak left-footed shot.
Marco Asensio produced an even nicer piece. In the set-up, Toni Kroos had a standard situation on the edge of the box, but instead of a centre he sent the ball along the ground to the large whitewash, where Asensio slammed it against the bar and sent it beautifully into the net.
