Xabi Alonso trusts the signing Florentino Pérez called yesterday

The president of Real Madrid doesn't want problems to grow inside the locker room at a key moment in the season.

The defeat in the Madrid classic left its mark, and the press have started to single out several players, creating a tense atmosphere around the squad.

Being aware that poor emotional management can be more dangerous than any sporting setback, Florentino Pérez decided to act quickly.

He took advantage of the rest day after the trip from Almaty to call one of his most important men directly.

The president wanted to send a message of trust and institutional support, making it clear that his role remains crucial for the sports project.

It wasn't a long conversation, but it was direct enough to make an impact on the player's spirits.

The president also emphasized that no attention should be paid to the self-serving information that appears in some media outlets.

In his view, they only seek to create noise and weaken the team at a time of maximum demand.

The recipient of the call: Fede Valverde

The protagonist of this story was Fede Valverde, who received Florentino's call at a difficult moment. The midfielder, heavily criticized in recent weeks, couldn't help but get emotional upon hearing the message of support.

In fact, according to reports, he even shed a few tears of gratitude after hearing that both the board and Xabi Alonso fully trust him. The end of the conversation was clear: "This year we're going to win many titles."

Valverde is going through a period of ups and downs, something normal for any footballer. Stringing together several lackluster matches has caused him to lose competitive rhythm, but the club insists that he remains one of the pillars of the project.

The Uruguayan, the team's second captain, knows he must regain his form soon. With the support he has received, he faces the challenge with renewed strength.

A leader on and off the field

Fede Valverde's career at Real Madrid has always been characterized by his commitment. He has filled a multitude of positions without complaint, running for his teammates and adapting to the needs of each coach.

The player doesn't hide that he has preferences about his role on the field, but he has never distanced himself from the collective interest. That's why the latest criticism has been so surprising inside the locker room.

The club believes it's not fair for him to be singled out now, nor for statements taken out of context to be used to fuel controversy.

Fede Valverde remains committed and has the support of Florentino, Xabi, and the entire locker room.

Looking to the future

At Valdebebas, they believe this situation will be just a bump in the road. The Uruguayan has enough talent and character to get back up and become decisive again.

The trust is absolute, and his role as a leader is beyond question. Florentino's message has helped reinforce that idea: Valverde is an essential piece for Real Madrid to aim to win everything this season.
