🚨 “He’s a Machine!” — Nico Williams Hails Valverde as Madrid’s Unshakable Pillar
Athletic Bilbao Star Reveals Which Real Madrid Player Left Him in Awe
After a hard-fought clash at the Santiago BernabĂ©u, Nico Williams couldn’t help but express his admiration for Federico Valverde, calling him the “pillar holding this Madrid team.” The young winger admitted Valverde’s performance gave him new perspective on why the Uruguayan is so highly praised.
“You think you know how good he is from watching on TV. But playing against him? It’s different. He’s everywhere,” Nico said. “He defends, creates, attacks—he’s not just a midfielder, he’s a machine.”
Valverde’s relentless pressing, tactical intelligence, and decisive contribution—including the last-minute winning goal—left even his opponent applauding. “Every coach dreams of a player like him,” Nico added.
This glowing praise from one of Spain’s brightest young attackers is just another sign that Valverde isn’t just appreciated by Madridistas—he’s earning league-wide respect as a core force in Los Blancos’ title charge.
