Mourinho Deploys Valverde in His Best Position – Temporary Fix?

Against Manchester City in the round of sixteen, Federico Valverde fired the Bernabéu up with a stellar performance, banking a hat-trick to secure qualification to the next round. That's what exactly former manager Zinedine Zidane said about the Uruguayan in the 2019/20 season after the game at Bernabeu against Paris Saint-Germain in the group stages: "We have all seen how he is a 'box-to-box' player, capable of being in every position and with a great acceleration." After eight games of playing him as pivot, Jose Mourinho came to the same conclusion in regards to Federico Valverde's position.
