Fede Valverde (25 years old) has all the numbers, never better said, to be the direct heir to the ‘8’ that Toni Kroos has worn in the last decade. “I guess when we were kids we all had an idol. The one we admired, the one we saw on TV and thought; I want to be like that person when I grow up. “I never stopped being that child who admired you.” The German teacher responded lovingly on his social networks and already gave a clue as to what will happen with his emblematic number: “You have absolutely everything to be the captain of this team in the future. I will always be by your side, and tomorrow we will talk about another topic… #8″.
AS was able to know that Valverde loves the ‘8’, both for his hierarchy in the eleven as it is an emblematic number (in Madrid it was worn by other illustrious figures such as Amancio, Míchel or Mijatovic) and for the fact that he is Kroos’s successor. , whom he admires and respects so much. El Halcón is already beginning to be one of the team’s veterans despite his youth, as demonstrated by his 256 white games since 2018 (21 goals, 22 assists). Once he takes the ‘8’ he knows that in a few years he would also achieve the dreamed captaincy.

The other player on the white team who might want to challenge Valverde for the number 8 is Tchouameni, since that number is the one he wore at Monaco and the one he wants to inherit at some point. In fact, when he landed in Madrid he chose the ’18’ given the impossibility of the ‘8’, as he himself confirmed at the press conference presenting him. But if Valverde wants the ‘8’, the normal thing is that he gets it: in this seniority plays a fundamental role and the Uruguayan is much more senior at the club than the Frenchman.
