England national team head coach Thomas Tuchel has once again publicly lauded the exceptional talents of Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.
Tuchel’s renewed praise follows a recent high-profile friendly where Valverde showcased his prowess against Tuchel’s own England squad. Uruguay traveled to Wembley, and in a dramatic turn of events deep into injury time, Marcelo Bielsa’s side was awarded a penalty. Valverde confidently stepped up to convert the spot-kick, securing a share of the spoils and extending his impressive run of individual form.
Immediately after the match, Tuchel was quick to commend Uruguay’s standout performer to the media. His admiration was reiterated on Tuesday, as the German tactician emphasized his high regard for the player:
“One Uruguay player apart from Valverde to have in my team? Oh no, no, I’ll still pick Fede Valverde. Valverde will always have a place in any team in the world.”
