"Marca" wrote an article saying that Valverde will not be knocked down by missing a penalty kick. On the contrary, he will become more determined with extremely strong mental power.
Valverde is a complete perfectionist. He has a strong sense of responsibility since childhood. He fell into pain after missing a key penalty against Riyadh Crescent, and kept replaying the mistake in his mind.
There is no need for others to blame. This Uruguayan, known as Real Madrid's future great captain, blames himself purely for being ashamed of Real Madrid fans in the stands. This season, he will replace Carvajal, who is still in injury, as the second captain, and since Arnold will get more opportunities to play, Valverde will wear the captain's armband in most games.
Valverde's Club World Cup starts not smoothly, and his previous back injury made him miss the call for the Uruguay national team. In order to catch up with this event, he completed an amazing recovery through extra training, and also used the support of relatives and friends to survive the quit period at the end of the season. The unique tenacity gene of the Uruguayan nation allows him to revive his momentum after every setback. Now he is fully prepared for the game against Pachuca, which will be an excellent opportunity for him to save himself and get rid of the shadow of penalty kicks.
Strong psychological qualities are the label of future Real Madrid leaders, and a penalty kick will never defeat him.
