Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has denied reports that Federico Valverde refused to play as a right-back.
İdman.biz reports that the press reported that the 27-year-old Uruguayan midfielder was on the bench in Real Madrid's Champions League match against Kairat because he refused to play as a right-back.
"No player - neither Federico, nor Rodrigo, nor Vinicius - has told me that he does not want to play in a specific position. That has never happened. Everyone wants to play. I make the decisions for the team," Alonso said.
