Is it time to change Valverde's position?

It is no coincidence that Real Madrid's performance improves when Federico Valverde returns to the full-back position, as the Uruguayan player has delivered impressive displays in this role during recent matches.

Marca believes that Federico Valverde does not need to try to replicate Toni Kroos's style of play, as his physical attributes and ability to move both offensively and defensively make him suitable for other roles, where he can exploit his speed and strength to dominate the right flank.

According to the newspaper, Federico Valverde possesses the qualities that could make him an exceptional full-back, which opens the door to considering a permanent position change, even if this position is not the one he has been accustomed to playing throughout his career.

José Mourinho has repurposed Federico Valverde as a full-back during the match against Villarreal in La Liga, and the player delivered an impressive performance. The coach repeated the experiment against Roma, with the Uruguayan once again standing out.

These performances are raising questions about Mourinho's ability to rely on Federico Valverde as a regular full-back, especially since his versatility provides Real Madrid with additional tactical solutions, and he could become a key element in the Portuguese coach's plans in the upcoming period.
