Real Madrid had another bitter day in Bilbao. The defeat against Athletic not only hurt their morale, but also left several questions unanswered. Vinícius, who was watching the game from a distance, felt the frustration of Madridistas.
From the screen, the Brazilian regretted not being able to be on the field to help his team. His presence and support were especially reflected in Fede Valverde, who, after a serious mistake, publicly apologized on social media.
Valverde: the Heart of the Locker Room
Uruguayan Fede Valverde is not only one of the pillars of the team but also a key player inside and outside of the field. After his mistake in the match, Valverde was self-critical and expressed his apologies on social media.
A few minutes later, Vinícius, who has a great relationship with him, replied with words of encouragement. "We love you," along with white heart emojis. This gesture reflects the bond between the two, but also the attitude of a team that, despite the setbacks, remains a strong team.
Valverde has been one of the most outstanding players of the season. He has adapted to different positions and, although he's had virtually no rest, he continues to show a very high performance. His dedication and sacrifice on the field have earned him the respect of his teammates. Such values have made him a reference, both for his game and his attitude.
January Transfer: the Key to Improvement?
However, despite the good performance of certain players such as Valverde, the results remain mixed. The team has had moments of brilliance, but has also shown shortcomings, especially in key moments such as the game against Athletic. In this context, the question that arises is clear: Does Real Madrid need a transfer in January?
The season has been one of ups and downs and some see a transfer as key to strengthening the squad. Mistakes, such as the one made by Valverde in Bilbao, although human, reveal that there are aspects that urgently need to be corrected. Madrid needs to strengthen certain positions in order not to fall behind in the fight for titles.
The Future of the Team
Despite the defeat, the season is still long and Real Madrid still has time to turn things around. They haven't lost any titles yet, but the margin for further mistakes is narrow.
The team needs a change of attitude and, probably, a transfer in January who will bring quality and freshness. In the meantime, players like Valverde remain the foundation on which to build the future.
