Recently, Real Madrid midfielder Valverde, who is preparing for the Copa América, participated in the recording of the podcast program “The Residency”, answering questions from Real Madrid fans around the world.
The first question was about Mbappé joining Real Madrid. In response, Valverde was very clear: “What will Real Madrid be like with Mbappé? It will be crazy, because we will become the truly best team in the world.”
One fan asked Valverde about his relationship with Bellingham. The Uruguayan quipped: “Relationship? I haven’t figured out how to communicate with him yet. Will Bellingham teach me English or will I teach him Spanish? But we can understand each other’s intentions. Sometimes I even ask Brahim to translate for us.”
When asked which player he pays the most attention to on the pitch, Valverde frankly stated: “I usually pay attention to Modrić and Kroos. Do I prefer No. 8 or No. 15? The shirt number is just a number. No. 15 (the number he wore until the end of last season) is important because I won many trophies wearing it, and No. 8 will also be important because it’s a legacy left to me by my idol (the number Kroos handed him on the Cibeles Square after winning the Champions League against Dortmund), which makes me very proud.”
