In the fourth round of La Liga played last night, Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 away. Real Madrid player Valverde was interviewed after the game.

You did not start today and didn't come out of the bench until the second half. Real Madrid was sent off one person in the 32nd minute, but it finally won the victory

I was very proud. Today I watched the game on the bench and saw my teammates working hard with one less person, which was admirable. They had a good control over the game in the first half, and obviously no one wanted a red card, but that was part of the football. From my point of view on the bench, Militon seemed to be able to compete for that ball at the time. But what's important is that the team demonstrated the fighting spirit and ended up with 3 points.

How do you think Real Sociedad's performance in this game?

They are a very outstanding team, with tacit cooperation, excellent ball control ability, and many excellent players. We had a lot of risks in the second half, but we all got it safe, and sometimes luck was important, and Courtois performed very well with several one-on-one saves. Such competitions are often the key to determining the league championship.

This is your 150th La Liga victory in Real Madrid. You have started your eighth season with Real Madrid first team. You have participated in 215 La Liga games and won the La Liga championship three times. Among them, you won the La Liga most in a single season in La Liga. I am very happy and proud. It is an honor to continue to represent this jersey, this team logo, and continue to play for the best club in the world. This is already a part of my family.

You played all the games in the Uruguay national team before, and immediately returned to Real Madrid to participate in this game again. The long-distance flight did make me a little tired, and the 12-hour trip was very hard. I talked to coach Alonso and I told him that my physical condition is not enough to play for 90 minutes today, and he took my advice and understood my choice.
