Real Madrid Player Acknowledges World Cup Failure Is Harming Form.

Real Madrid has had an odd start to their season since returning from the World Cup, suffering for most of January but still displaying some brilliant football in spurts. The fact that so many of their players are in such varying levels of fitness and form might very well be the cause.

Karim Benzema was released before the World Cup, yet Real Madrid sent 13 players. Dani Ceballos, who did not go, has been one of the greatest players since the World Cup, but Toni Kroos has also shown a decline. While Eduardo Camavinga has become stronger recently, despite reaching the final, Luka Modric has been utilized little over the last month. One was undoubtedly more engaged than the other.

Uruguay lost at the group stage, but Fede Valverde has said that the defeat affected him deeply.

“Obviously, it had an impact on me since I truly wanted my nation to prosper… I traveled with the youthful enthusiasm and aspiration of many others. It stung a lot to feel that all I had fought for had been in vain.

But understanding that positive things won’t always happen in football helps me learn from everything. Ruts and hurdles will always exist in football. I must continue along the same route and with the same tasks that I did before to the World Cup. I want to stay on this squad, develop, and eventually take over as captain.

With 8 goals and 4 assists before to the World Cup, Valverde was undoubtedly Real Madrid’s most important player. He no longer has the same capacity to sprint away from opponents, however, after returning. Since then, El Halcon has not assisted or scored.
