Totally worth reading it. OP thanks a lot for posting this.
Valverde is being very honest n genuine here. Valverde deserves a lot of praise n we shouldn't troll players as there are a lot of things that go on in the background that we don't know of.
At 15 if u r sleeping on a broken mattress on the floor n just 2 years later u r at Real Madrid no wonder it will make u think u r a God.
Social media, attention from women, money, status, etc changes a person (plus he was 17) but the fact that Valverde was able to see through it is a big thing.
How agents try to make players sign for clubs they don't want to go (by sweet talking them) just to get their commission was something i didn't knew.
Totally relate with Zara being a brand in my country. While it is considered as cheap in Europe.
I think clubs should hire some kind of an advisor to these young players to warn them about the bad things that come with money n fame.
