Fede Valverde, with his prize to Derby mvp, He was one of the great protagonists of the final of the Spanish Super Cup between Real Madrid and Atleti in the stadium King Abdullah of Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). The Uruguayan had in the second half the clearest chance of the game, but he finished very chopped and crashed the ball on his own thigh. Already in the second part of the extension, he avoided with a kick at ground level that a hand to hand of Morata I could sentence the whites and give the title to the rojiblancos.
At the end of the match, the Charrúa player himself acknowledged that it is “something that should not be done”. “I apologized to Morata, but it was the only thing he could do because he is a very fast player. I left the team with one less, but there were my teammates to support me. Simeone He also came over and told me something that I am not going to reproduce and I want to thank him, ”he explained. Still, several anti-Madrid journalists have criticized that the Federation, with the selector Luis Enrique at the head, give the prize to MVP of the final
Peton in Cope Game Time: “It seems inconceivable that the element or elements of the federation who decide who is the MVP reward a player who has been expelled for an extremely unsportsmanlike action at the key moment of the crash. ” (Ramos pays dearly for the Super Cup title: new KO for Madrid)
Rubén Uría in Goal: “Less had to do with fate with the fact that Morata I couldn't shout a goal in a hand-in-hand that seemed lapidary, because that's what he took care of Fede Valverde. The Uruguayan, with a kick as desperate and necessary as fierce and violent, avoided what seemed the end to him. Madrid. Hunted down Morata and went to the booth. Minutes later, living to see, they would name him MVP of a final in which any jury with a minimum of decorum would have noticed that rewarding him, at least tonight, can only inspire a feeling: someone else's shame. ”
Maldini in Brand: “I think that Valverde He does what he has to do. This is football and here you play to win. Morata leaves alone Valverde He has no choice of grabbing him because he is leaving, which gives him a little strong, a little ugly kick. The red knew that he was going to have it and they have taken it out. I believe that Valverde You can't reproach anything. I honestly believe that neither the athletic nor his teammates, these are the other way around, will be hugging him because he has won the final half, but I do not agree with his choice as MVP of the match Not because of the expulsion, I didn't think it was the best. He has played quite encased on the right, then has gone to the middle and has seemed a little more. I believe that Modric it has been better and, if we analyze the expulsion, it seemed exaggerated to choose Valverde how MVP, a footballer who has been kicked out. ”
