Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUDED: the “Little Brother” interview with Dayot Upamecano! In 2016, when Real Madrid spent five million euros to sign a little Uruguayan midfielder barely 18 years old, we could wonder as for this investment for this Federico Valverde, who played at the time at Penarol. But a few years later, White House recruiters once again proved that they were right when they came knocking on the door of the Valverde family. And the least we can say is that making contact was special. In an interview given to Players Tribune, it is the main interested party who returns to this scene which occurred during the Copa America U17. And obviously, Federico Valverde was the first surprised, as he recounts in an amusing story.
The incredible story of Federico Valverde
“I was playing the U17 Copa America in Paraguay when I received the call that changed my life. I was sitting in my hotel room, my parents were staying in another room. My mother told me called and said, “Hey, come to our room right now. There are people here who want to talk to you. Fede, come now. These men are from Real Madrid.” I thought she was making a joke . I rushed into the room to see what was going on, and sure enough, there were two guys I had never seen before. She had tears in her eyes. The guys started talking in Castilian, not in South American Spanish, and I thought, “Damn. They’re not from here. Is this real?” They told me: “We are Real Madrid. We believe you can become a star for us. We want you and your parents to move to Madrid.” I looked my mother. I looked at my agent like, “Nah. You’re kidding me.” My mother said, “Shut up, Fede. We’re not kidding you.” There are 500,000 players in the world and Madrid want to sign me? What??? I literally ran out of the room. I was screaming, “Where is dad? I have to tell dad!!!”. I went downstairs My dad was talking to one of the other parents, and I said, “Dad!!!! Dad!!! Madrid is here!!!!” He said, “What? What do you mean, they Are there? Where?” I said, “Upstairs, in the room! They want to sign me! Real Madrid want to sign me!” He looked at me like I was the craziest person in the world. He said, “Upstairs in the bedroom??? Well, what are you doing down here??? Get back up there, idiot!!!” Hahahah. I sprinted back to the room, and luckily the Real Madrid guys were still there, and it wasn’t just a fucked up dream. It was the first perfect day of my life.”
To sum up
