On August 28, Real Madrid star Valverde attributed the reasons for his explosive performance in the new season to the trust and encouragement of head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
In the current season so far, Valverde has performed remarkably well. In the UEFA Super Cup, Valverde broke the deadlock for Real Madrid, eventually leading the team to a 2-0 victory over Atalanta and securing the championship. In the second round of La Liga, Valverde once again broke the deadlock for Real Madrid, which ultimately won with a score of 3-0, achieving their first league victory of the season. In the first three games of the season, Valverde has already scored two goals, whereas he only scored a total of three goals in the previous season.
Valverde talked about the reason for his explosive performance: “I really need to thank head coach Ancelotti, as he constantly tells me that I need to participate more in the attack and take bold shots on the field. It is under his guidance that I have been performing well this season.”
Valverde’s career-high goal record was 12 goals in the 2022-23 season, and whether he can break this personal record this season is something that has caught much attention.
