Fede Valverde: best u19 midfielder in football

How come you were 25 in 2017 and r still 25 today

Also wonder what the "best u19midfielder in football" did in the two years lying between the making of the thread and this laughable bump by its creator

He became a Madrid starter. Honestly his biggest achievement so far. Doing well too.

He’s been performing really well. My only concern is that he has a very explosive and physically demanding playing style, and we’ve yet to see how he handles being a starter through a period where there’s little to no time for rest inbetween matches.

I've been supporting Fede for so long that it might as well be said that i scouted him for papa Perez.

I predict that Fede will have some memorable Champions League nights this season, after all, the name Federico means "peaceful ruler" and Valverde means "green valley." So Fede is the peaceful ruler of football. Simple.

He needs to attend to his deep-lying playmaking capabilities though, and it is partly Zidane's responsibility to instruct him on this.

Uruguay's midfield is set for the next decade. It's too bad their main forward are old and I dont see any young uruguayan forwards getting hyped

@rincon is Bentancur a starter at juve yet?

Basically, although with how much the team is rotated there are few real starters. The only midfield 100% starter is Pjanic, Bentancur is always in the mix.

Please tell me Matuidi isn't still regularly starting.... that nonsense allows DD to justify him starting for France.

Real have now thus top level midfielder, making their midfield complete again, Casemiro, Kroos and Modric seem to have regained a lot of their form and if these 4 keep it up, they gonna be better than our midfield where only De Jong is satifactory atm. Pls go easy on us in the classico

Agreed. Still have no idea why Zidane subbed him off yesterday, but I hope he won't do the same against Barça.

Some posts in this thread have aged like kombucha

Maybe he simply saw it as an opportunity to give Fede som rest. I mean, the guy runs like a maniac every time he plays. He hasn’t been featuring from the start before relatively recently. Running more than everyone else has got to be physically taxing over time. I actually thought it was a good thing that Ødegaard got injured when he did, because there’s no way all of the running he did for both club and country at the start of the season was sustainable.

To rest him. The game was essentially meaningless as far as the result goes.

Who is better, Fifi Valverde or Frenkie De Jong?

de Jong can’t even touch this guy he’s so good at everything

stop trolling brother

Fede has come out like a bat out of hell, but I really want to see Zidane work with him to make him a player who can also control the tempo of the game with his distribution of the ball, ala Kroos or Alonso, because he's got that in him too. It will hopefully be part of Fede's natural progression and refinement. If he can pair that with what he's doing now then... then....

..then..?

can see him getting the Balon D’Or before 2026

Already better than Pogba . what a stud.

Made in a lab midfielder

Only de Bruyne has been as good this season, and he’s only 21

Odegaard too is in that bracket but he plays a bit closer to goal
