Valverde's dedication and spirit of service are a testament to his loyalty to Real Madrid. |
In a post on his personal page, the 27-year-old player expressed: “I read many articles that damage my image. I know I have had bad matches and I do not hide it. I am really sad."
"You can say many things about me, but you must never say that I refuse to play. I have given everything and more for this club," he continued.
Valverde's comments came as the Uruguayan was rumoured to have refused to warm up with the substitutes ahead of the match against Kairat Almaty.
El Pais even revealed that Valverde protested when asked to enter the field, standing on the sidelines with his hands behind his back. Real Madrid's recent match in Kazakhstan took place in a context where they were without both of their official right-backs, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dani Carvajal, due to injury.
Coach Xabi Alonso decided to use Raul Asencio in this position instead of Valverde. Under coach Ancelotti, Valverde often played in the right-back position. Coach Xabi Alonso's use of Asencio instead of Valverde later caused much speculation.
