The Real Madrid midfielder was one of the protagonists in the draw between Uruguay and South Korea.
Uruguay did not go beyond a draw against South Korea. They managed to win as they had two shots from the post, but overall it was a lackluster duel. One of the protagonists of the day was Federico Valverde. The Real Madrid midfielder nearly scored with a shot from outside the box that hit the vertical. Moreover, it gave rise to talk about his reaction during a dispute.
The first extra minute was played when the midfielder fell to the ground and beat Kang-In Lee in the split. After sending the ball to the side, the Uruguayan footballer stood up and shouted with all his might, as if it were a goal, for having prevailed in this game.
After the match was over, the 24-year-old was among those who addressed the media. “I’m a bit sad, angry and boring. I think we could do a little more to win the game. We show more courage and desire than I play, but that’s also how the games go,” he said.
“The rivals are playing. They covered spaces well, you had to open up, not play too much in the middle. In this way, we create more chances, but if we want to achieve the goal, we have to create many more. We have to grow as a team,” he added.
To close, the Uruguayan spoke about Celeste’s next challenge, against Portugal. “We have to think of ourselves. You have to work with the same effort, the same sacrifice and the same desire as today,” he said.
