Valverde: “We have changed the energy of the Bernabéu and matured in difficult moments”

The Uruguayan midfielder of Real Madrid analyzes the victory against Real Sociedad and the team's mentality

Real Madrid has found new momentum at the Santiago Bernabéu. Fede Valverde, one of the architects of the resounding 4-1 victory against Real Sociedad, has been in charge of giving voice to the feeling of change that the white locker room is experiencing. The Uruguayan highlighted the improvement in the “energy” of the stadium and acknowledged that the team has known how to “mature” through the “bad moments” experienced.

Valverde, with his usual dedication, stressed the importance of the fans' support. “We are changing the energy and the environment, we appreciate the support of the Bernabéu,” he stated, emphasizing that communion with the stands is essential for the growth of the team. “We have to take their energy to grow, improve as a team and continue growing,” he added.

The midfielder openly acknowledged that the road has not been easy. “We have gone through bad times that have made us mature,” he admitted, calling for self-criticism and ambition. “We didn't win anything last year, nothing this year, we have to settle down, grow, know that we have to change the things that were not good and continue. Don't let the downturn hit us,” he stated with determination.

Despite the victory and the good feelings, Valverde insisted that the team still has “room for improvement.” Complacency has no place in Madrid's DNA, and the Uruguayan made it known. “No player on the team should settle,” he stated, recalling the irregularity shown in previous matches.

The memory of the defeat in Lisbon is still present, and Valverde did not evade his responsibility. “We did not give a good image in Lisbon, the players are responsible and we have to continue growing, improving,” he stated, making it clear that self-criticism is the first step to evolution. “The coaching staff is happy for sure,” he added with a smile.

With the season in full swing, Real Madrid's objective is clear: the fight for all the titles. Valverde, like one of the captains, does not mince words. “We have to go for all the titles,” he proclaimed with conviction. “If I say that we do not fight for the League and the Champions League, it would be a shame on my part as a player and captain,” he stated, raising the demand.

The mentality must be one of maximum concentration and ambition. “We have to work as hard as possible. Real Madrid deserves that we are focused on football and that we go for what we have left in the season,” he said, appealing to the club's pride and history.

Regarding tactical instructions, Valverde praised the work of Álvaro Arbeloa, who seems to have brought a new air to the team. “He requires a lot of mobility between Trent, Arda and me,” he explained, highlighting the freedom of movement that allows him to receive the ball in advantageous positions. “I felt more comfortable because I received with an open field and from the front, not from my back,” he added.

Arbeloa has also instilled the importance of pressure after loss and a more offensive game. “Arbeloa asks us to put pressure on us after a loss and play on the attack,” explained the Uruguayan, highlighting the intensity and offensive vocation that is sought to be implemented.

Regarding the team's ups and downs, Valverde assured that the locker room has remained united. “The locker room was always united,” he stated emphatically. He acknowledged that the victory facilitates a more positive environment in training, but also admitted that internal competition generates discontent in some players.

“When you win it helps to create a different fluidity in training, to have less anger. There are 25 of us, only 11 play and there will be players who are less happy because they want to play more,” he explained, showing understanding towards his teammates' situation.

The Uruguayan, in his role as captain, confessed that his first year assuming this responsibility has been “hard.” The pressure of leading the team, especially in times of difficulty, has made him feel “responsible for all this when things are not good.”

“It's my way of being, not just because I'm captain. When we don't win I feel the first culprit and everything has to be done to change it,” he said, showing deep personal involvement. Despite the criticism or the whistles, Valverde assures that the group has remained mentally strong.

“I had the help of my family and knowing that things are good or bad, being at Real Madrid is the greatest thing in football,” he concluded, reaffirming his commitment and love for the white club.

With his sights set on the immediate future, Valverde is already thinking about the Champions League round of 16 tie. The return to the Estádio da Luz to face Benfica is the next big challenge. “We have been working for a long time for these matches that are coming up now in the Champions League. We have had two long weeks to prepare for it and we have to show what we want in LaLiga and the Champions League,” he said, with the ambition of continuing to make history.
