Valverde Steps Back from Bet with Ancelotti After Scoring First Goal of the Season

Real Madrid’s Fede Valverde has decided to postpone his bet with manager Carlo Ancelotti for this season after scoring his first goal of the campaign against Real Sociedad.

Valverde netted a powerful equalizer at the Santiago Bernabeu, striking the inside of the post. Speaking to the media after the match, he told Relevo that he would refrain from making another wager with Ancelotti until he scores a few more goals this season. Last season, Ancelotti challenged Valverde to score 10 goals or risk losing his coaching license.

“Until I score a couple more goals, I won’t be betting anything. Otherwise, I’ll be in hot water… I try to contribute in any way I can. Scoring goals motivates me to work even harder,” Valverde explained.

The Uruguayan midfielder also echoed Ancelotti’s remarks about conceding goals early in matches, as Real Madrid found themselves trailing to an early Ander Barrenetxea strike against Real Sociedad.

“We need to learn from these situations and our early mistakes. We can’t always rely on comebacks. We have to be more engaged in the match before such situations arise. This experience will help us in the future,” Valverde emphasized.

Valverde has become a beloved figure among the Santiago Bernabeu faithful and has emerged as a key personality in the Real Madrid dressing room. Like many members of the squad, he shares a strong bond with Ancelotti, who has rejuvenated several players and witnessed their progression over the past two years.
