The 18/19 season was a lost season for Real Madrid, the team lost competitiveness in all competitions, La Liga withdrew from the title competition early, the Copa del Rey was out of the final four, and the proud Champions League front was won by Ajax in the round of 16. In addition to the departure of the two major centers of gravity of C Ronaldo and Zidane in this season, the three Champions League squads have also begun to age, so the two managers Lopetegui and Santiago Solari have promoted many young players, Dani Severos, Marcos Llorente, Sergio Regillon have greatly increased their chances of playing, but unfortunately all three have left, but at the same time there are two young players as the main players to play so far, and they are regarded as the focus of the future, which is the biggest treasure in the lost season.
When Real Madrid was looking for a successor for C Ronaldo and Bale, they regarded the Brazilian star Neymar as one of the choices, but the final signing was Vinicius Junier, who was known as the "new Neymar", and when he officially joined, C Ronaldo had left Real Madrid, and the team only had three wingers, Bale, Lucas Vazquez and Asensio, so Vinicius Junior was quickly given the opportunity to appear in the first team after a brief adaptation to the B team, after handing over the four-goal performance table in five games, in the "derby" against Atletico Madrid. In the middle of the war, he was replaced by the "post-00s" player who was the first to play for the Real Madrid.
Lopetegui's Real Madrid attacking power was weak, resulting in an unstable record and was sacked, B coach Santiago Solari took office, and his trust in Vinicius Junier, who had worked with him, greatly increased his playing time, just in Santiago Solari's first official La Liga match against Valladolid, the substitute started the record and helped the team win the opponent. Coupled with the unstable performances of Bale and Asensio, Vinicius Junier has more opportunities to show his speed and breakthrough ability. Even under Zidane, Vinicius Junier was highly valued. It is true that its shooting ability and transmission decisions have been criticized, but the potential is indeed worth looking forward to. When La Liga was shut down due to the epidemic, Vinicius Junier continued to train, his body was more robust than ever, and this self-discipline may one day make Real Madrid no longer pursue Mbappe, and it should be known that Ronaldo was not synonymous with goal mechanics at the beginning of Manchester United.
Real Madrid's "Golden Midfield" combination of Kasmiru, Modric and Tony Kroos has achieved the feat of "Three Consecutive Champions League Titles", but due to aging and the need for players to cope with the World Cup, there is a lack of rest. In the 18/19 season, the Reales recouped Federico Valverde on loan to supplement the midfield, but under Lopetegy, Federico Valverde did not have a chance to express himself. It was not until Santiago Solari took office that he gradually got the opportunity to come off the bench, but the performance did not stand out, until the end of the season after Zidane 'two into the palace", the team has no desire, can give newcomers the opportunity to play, Federico Valverde seized the last ten rounds of the league to impress Zidane, showing a fast speed, a wide range of activities, high participation in both offensive and defensive ends, so the manager regards him as an important member of the team in the future.
In the 2019/20 season, Federico Valverde became the main force of the team and forcefully squeezed Modric to the bench, and in the defeat to Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey event in early February, it was real Madrid's first defeat in the case of his regular selection. His outstanding performance was that the team won the La Liga and Spanish Super Cup doubles, and some people praised the Uruguayan midfielder as the "new Gerrard". In the 2019/20 season, Federico Valverde's ability to insert in the box is more mature, in the impact of injuries, attendance is far less than last season, the number of goals has been better than last season, in addition to the team in the face of the "injury tide" stepped forward, not only with injuries, but also in the right-back, right wing position, the performance is remarkable, highly acclaimed. If Federico Valverde can avoid injury, he will certainly lead Real Madrid to challenge the champions.
