The Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has declared that he will tear his coaching licence if Fede Valverde doesn’t score over 10 goals in the season.
Valverde has so far recorded three goals and two assists in his first eight appearances for Madrid in 2022-23, including a stunning solo effort against Mallorca last weekend.
Valverde also scored another goal in a Champions League group stage win over RB Leipzig and Ancelotti has challenged him to maintain his output in the final third.
“What seemed strange to me was that he just scored once last season.’’
“I told him that if he was not able to score more than 10 goals, I’d have to rip up my coach’s licence. He has a rock in his foot.”
