Valverde wrote
I have read many articles that slander my personality. I know I have indeed played bad games and I have a clear understanding of it. I never hide and always face criticism. I do feel sad. People can make all kinds of criticisms against me, but they can't say I refuse to play anyway. I gave everything and more to this club, and I had been on the court with fractures and injuries, never complaining or asking for a break.
I have a good relationship with the coach, which gives me the confidence to tell him my favorite position on the field, but from the beginning to the end I have made it clear that I am willing to follow the orders at any location, on any trip, in all games.
I have given my soul to this club and will continue to do so, even if sometimes failing to meet the standards or performing less than expected, I swear with my self-esteem that I will never give up and fight to the end of the game no matter where I play.
In the early morning of this morning, Real Madrid defeated Almaty Keilat 5-0. Valverde did not start and sat on the bench for the whole game.
Ass wrote an article after the game: Due to injuries to Carvajal and Arnold, Alonso considered to let Valverde serve as the right back. In addition, pre-match press conferences are usually attended by starters, but Valverde ends up taking the bench in this game. Worse, Valverde was the only backup player not to participate in the warm-up and chose to stay on the bench. In the second half, when Bellingham and Camavenga warmed up on the sideline, Valverde watched quietly, with his hands behind his back, as if he was out of the way. All this seemed to be related to his public statement that he did not want to play as the right back.
