He fulfilled the bet: Valverde surpassed ten goals and Ancelotti will continue at Real Madrid.

Ancelotti had made a bet with Valverde: if he didn't score more than 10 goals this season, he would stop being the coach of Real Madrid. The Uruguayan surpassed this figure with the goals against Al Hilal in the Club World Cup.

Ancelotti had made a bet with Valverde: if he didn't score more than 10 goals this season, he would stop being the coach of Real Madrid. The Uruguayan surpassed this figure with the goals against Al Hilal in the Club World Cup.

At the beginning of the season, Carlo Ancelotti proposed a challenge to Federico Valverde. "If you don't score ten goals, I will stop coaching at the end of this season," said the Real Madrid coach to the Uruguayan midfielder. Despite not doing well in the first matches of this season, the 24-year-old recovered and managed to surpass this goal tally on Saturday, after his two goals against Al Hilal in the Club World Cup final.

With the first goal against Al Hilal, the midfielder allowed Real Madrid to continue having a coach after June 30. As soon as he scored that goal, he hugged his teammates and then looked for the Italian coach. The coach thought he was looking for water, but what the Uruguayan wanted was to hug the Madrid coach.

Federico Valverde hugged Carlo Ancelotti enthusiastically, who has placed him in different positions and positioned him as one of the best offensive midfielders in the world. In the second half, the Uruguayan scored one more goal, bringing his tally to eleven goals in the season. And he became one of the leading scorers of the Club World Cup after his goal in the semifinals.

He dismissed rumors of personal problems

In recent days, there was a rumor that suggested that Valverde's "poor performance" was due to a personal problem. His partner, Mina Bonino, made a post on social media stating that the baby they are expecting, their second child, "is fine". Both of them had been thinking they would lose the baby for a while. But everything is fine.

The 'Pajarito' (little bird) has taken flight again and is standing out on the field. When he celebrated his first goal, he sucked his thumb on one hand and pointed his index finger to the sky with the other, giving thanks for what happened. His smile shone brighter than ever before. And those who celebrate the most are the Real Madrid fans, who have their new midfielder.

Real Madrid: What is their next match?

After this commitment in the Club World Cup final, Real Madrid must focus again on LaLiga Santander and concentrate on improving their numbers if they want to challenge Barcelona for the title. On Wednesday, February 15, they will host Elche at the Santiago Bernabéu, in the match scheduled for 3:00 pm.
