In the round of 16 of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid defeated Juventus 1-0 with an outstanding performance and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

Real Madrid's midfielder Federico Valverde performed brilliantly in the game and was named the best player of the match. He played almost the entire game, proving his core value once again with his comprehensive offensive and defensive coverage and amazing physical strength.

After the game, Valverde expressed his affirmation and pride in the victory in an interview: "This was a very difficult game. The opponent was very strong and we paid a lot of physical strength."

"We created a lot of chances, which is the result of our repeated polishing on both the offensive and defensive ends. It is a step forward, although there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Talking about the coach's deployment at halftime, Valverde revealed: "The coach stressed the importance of controlling the ball well. Once a mistake is made, we must quickly recover and go on the offensive. This can not only weaken the opponent's physical strength, but also make our game rhythm smoother."

Valverde also talked about his role as captain on the field: "I try to lead every team-mate, and their support also makes me more comfortable as captain."

"They obey orders and always put the team first, which makes me more confident when giving orders. It is an honor to be the captain of Real Madrid."

Real Madrid's next match will be against Dortmund in the Club World Cup quarter-finals on July 6. Now the morale of the Real Madrid team is high and they are aiming for the championship.
