Federico Valverde: “Nobody in the world is harder on me than me. And by the way — my wife? Mina? She is on another level! She knows the game very well, and she is Argentinian, and you know how they are. Hahahah. Whatever I do, it’s never enough.
Remember when Ajax knocked us out of the Champions League? We got into the car after the match, and I was fuming, and the first thing she said to me: ‘Really, Fede? Are you serious? What was that? That’s how you are going to play for Real Madrid?’
I said, ‘You think I don’t know?’
She said, ‘You didn’t risk anything. You have to shoot. It’s the strongest part of your game.’
Man, I had to crank the volume knob all the way up to drown out her analysis.
The worst part — and I would never tell her this, so I hope she is not reading — the worst part is that she was right. Hahahah. Damn!
We are a true football family — one Uruguayan plus one Argentinian — which adds up to f****** crazy.” (Link in bio)
