Whether it is fighting for Real Madrid or wearing the Uruguay national team's jersey, Valverde is always energetic. He has always been the candidate for the team's starting lineup and can almost play all the game. Under Ancelotti's command, his position is undisputed; under Alonso, his main position is as stable as Mount Tai; in Bielsa's Uruguay national team, he is the main player who plays.

Since August 1, 2024, Valverde has played 77 games. Among La Liga clubs, this data is more than any player. During this period, Valverde has played a total of 6,573 minutes, and is also ranked first in the La Liga players. In these 405 days, Valverde missed only 7 games (of Real Madrid and Uruguay national team). He made an average of one appearance on the Green Field every 5.2 days. None of the La Liga players can play more than 75 games, and no one can play for a total of more than 6,000 minutes. Only Valverde did it.

No matter where he plays, Valverde can shine on the court. This kind of versatility has become the most powerful weapon in the hands of the coach who coaches him. "Is Valverde the best midfielder in the world or the best fullback? I really can't define..." Ancelotti once commented, and An once joked that he wanted Valverde to play a central defender: "He can even be competent in that position."

Alonso also attaches great importance to Valverde. Alonso said: "I rarely see a player like Valverde. He reminds me of Gerald - with a wide coverage, amazing shooting power, capable of any position, and always appear where he is needed... Every coach hopes that there is a Valverde in his team."
