Fede Valverde: sincere with his downturn, reborn in the classic

Outstanding: Spanish teams in Europa League

There has not been an outstanding note in the Santander League match, neither individually nor collectively.

There is a lot of equality and there is beginning to be accumulated fatigue from so many matches followed, especially after the first European day.

Teams that are not used to international competition often notice.

In fact, many have suffered to maintain the category and some have even dropped when they have been in that situation.

The Europa League is a treacherous competition.

It takes place on Thursdays, in places that are sometimes remote, and forces to play the next day with little preparation.

Getafe was an example last season, maintaining the level exhibited the previous year.

This year, our three representatives currently sleep in the top four in the League.

Villarreal, Real Sociedad and the debutant Granada had important losses and had to do rotations but they took their games forward this weekend.

And this Thursday, again with the suitcase in tow.

Notable: Marcos Llorente

Perhaps sensing that

would leave sooner rather than later, Atleti disbursed 30 million euros for

substitute

.

But

never convinced by

as a midfielder, he lost his position too often.

Anfield changed his life.

Since then, the caged lion in a role that requires first of all placement and discipline could begin to exhibit other virtues repressed until then.

He has become a totally different player from the one who came to the club just over a year ago.

As a right winger or second striker, sometimes as a starter and sometimes as a kicker, he can now display his enormous power and travel.

Against Betis on Saturday, he unleashed a difficult game with a sensational change of pace and a subtle shot with his left foot taking advantage of the fact that

neglected his stick.

Add 7 goals and 5 assists in 2020 and knock on the door of the Spanish team.

In the NBA, he would be the favorite for the 'Most Improved Player', the award for the most improved player.

Approved: Fede Valverde

"It was difficult for me to come back, you have to admit it and be self-critical. I didn't do things the way a professional Real Madrid player should do."

It was not clear what he was referring to but

, something unusual for a footballer, took his slump in the final stretch of last season.

Nor had he started this course being indisputable for

.

But in the classic he showed again how important he can be at Madrid again.

Due to the forward pressure that he exerts, the vigor he brings in the middle with

and his good arrival in the area from the second row that was 0-1.

Given the offensive difficulties of the whites, the scoring contribution of the midfield is necessary.

If nothing goes wrong again in his career, the reconstruction of Madrid may have the Uruguayan as one of its pillars.

Suspense: Valladolid

Cádiz, 11 points.

Elche, 10. Osasuna, 10. There are some teams that have added more than expected at this start to the season.

Even two who started with doubts like Éibar and Alavés have improved a lot in the last days (7 of 9 and 6 of 9 points in the last three games respectively).

Inevitably, there are others who have to be down.

Before the national team break, we highlight Athletic's problems.

Now it's time to talk about Valladolid.

Already last season,

worked a miracle with a very limited squad.

He added 42 points with only 32 goals in favor.

His top scorer scored eight goals.

At the beginning of this course, the team continues to show problems in both areas.

has barely added a target and the signings of

or

have not yet performed as expected.

Danger.
