Sergio Valentín wrote that Xabi Alonso had wanted to place Valverde as a right back, move Güler back, and undo the pair formed by Tchouameni and Valverde. He also stated that the coach had wanted to challenge Vinicius without giving him an undisputed position, despite the fact that the player had achieved his best statistics in recent years. According to Valentín, the current debates had already been anticipated by Alonso, and he added that time would be the best judge. #Fútbol #Valverde #XabiAlonso (translated)
