Fede Valverde, who scored a stunning goal against Villarreal, spoke to Realmadrid TV and analysed the team's victory on matchday nine of La Liga: “We're concerned about Carvajal‘s health and we'll see what they tell us in the dressing room. It was an alright game. Not too good and not too bad. We did the right things to win and only two goals were enough, although now the concern is different.”

"We knew it was an important game to keep fighting for the league and this win helps us to go into the international break with energy. We trained hard in Valdebebas and, after so many times shooting alongside Davide and Francesco, we were rewarded for it.”

Who taught him to shoot?
“I have to keep working hard and improving; I've had good teachers in this team.”

His contribution on the pitch
“I like to contribute defensively and offensively and carry the ball forward. That's why I enjoyed myself today.”

How does he feel heading into the international break?
“I'm going away happy. I wish we could have done better in the last few months but we'll continue to improve as a team.”
