Uruguayan Diego Forlan, legend of Atlético de Madrid, praised the growth of his compatriot Fede Valverde, who stars in his great year at Real Madrid, and assured that “he is showing the player he is.”
“I had the opportunity to see him grow up in Peñarol when he was 17 years old and little by little he was taking his place. He was always seen in spectacular conditions. In Dépor a very difficult year passed, we talked often and he told him to be calm because late or I was going back to Madrid early, “he explained at a meeting of the ambassadors of The league.
“And now he is showing what a player he is. He is very young, but he has already won the love of the Madrid fans by showing such great potential, “he added.
Forlán suffered from the distance the hardness with which he hit the coronavirus to a country that loves as much as Spain. Now, celebrate the return of football. “That LaLiga is restarted is a light of hope,” he said before entering social issues that concern him.
“As a society we have to rethink a lot of things like racism. The pandemic has moved us the pillars, we have had time to think and we must continue to do so on issues such as hunger or racism. We must try to improve as a society in things that have been done badly for many years. If we continue in this way it will be much more complicated, “he lamented.
Entering the return of the competition in Spain, For Forlán it will be a “continuation” of what was paralyzed with the pulse between Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title.
“It will be like another League for those who were injured who could not have played again this season. For them it is something new and unexpected, but for the rest of the players it is the continuation of the season. You have to be very careful with your physique. With so many games, teams will be affected. “
Forlán asked that the time when fans can re-enter the stadiums is the same for all clubs. “It would have to be as fair as possible, that it return to all sides at the same time. It would not be beneficial for some to have an advantage. Despite the fact that there are cities with less contagion than Madrid or Barcelona, they are all the same country, you have to be in solidarity and the fairest thing is that when the public can enter to enjoy a live game, which is all at the same time. “
