Bielsa highly praised Valverde
Fede Valverde is a different player than the others in his position. He plays through the middle of the pitch, while moving just as comfortably from the middle to the right as from the middle to the left.
In midfield, he can play
in a deep-lying role, ahead of the DM, he can also play close to an attacking midfielder, and he operates effectively across all three zones of the pitch. Then, recently, he also played as a fullback.
What most recently caught everyone’s attention was his performance as a winger. He’s created decisive plays, normally on the right, but lately we’ve also seen him make runs down the left and provide assists from there. This is what makes him different to someone like Pedri or Vitinha. Neither Pedri nor Vitinha have this versatility. Fede is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world.
Will Camavinga miss the World Cup?
According to L’Equipe, Deschamps might not call him. The France NT coach likely will call 5 midfielders and there are many options, including Tchouameni, Kante, Rabiot and others. Camavinga has not played a single minute against Brazil and played only 26 minutes against Colombia, casting doubt that he is going to be present in Deschamps’ list for the WC.
Camavinga compares Arbeloa to Ancelotti
About Ancelotti, the french midfielder said:
Carlo Ancelotti was someone who understood all of us. He was like a father figure. If someone was down or low, he would be there for them. He genuinely transmitted happiness. That’s why he was in Real Madrid for so long and we won so many UCLs under him.
Enzo signing is impossible
