Cobe: Xavi Alonso doesn t consider Valverde as right-back against Huang Qian

Cobe Radio reported that Xavi Alonso did not consider allowing Valverde to serve as right-back against Villarreal.

Valverde has recently become the focus of public opinion on Real Madrid. Due to injuries to Carvajal and Arnold, Valverde admitted at a press conference on Monday whether he could return to the right-back position. This was not his favorite position: "I am not born to be suitable for playing fullback, although I feel very adaptable when playing in this position."

In the Champions League match against Almaty Keilat, Valverde served as a substitute and did not get a chance to play. His attitude of holding his hands behind his back while warming up and not participating in group training has sparked controversy, and he then had to reiterate his commitment to Real Madrid on social media. Valverde participated in training normally under the guidance of Xavi Alonso on Thursday.

Real Madrid will play against Villarreal in the next game, and all signs indicate that despite injury to Carvajal and Arnold, Valverde will not be the right-back. It is reported that the coaching staff has arranged this way at least during training this Thursday. If Xavi Alonso chooses a four-guard formation, the position will be Raul Asensio; if Xavi Alonso decides to adopt a three-center-back system, youth training players or Militon will be used.
