Dani Carvajal was one of Real Madrid’s standout performances as they finished the international break with a 5-1 victory against Valencia.
Carvajal’s spectacular opening from outside the box was one of the game’s highlights. It will undoubtedly go down as one of the matchweek’s finest goals.
Carvajal has been an important member of Real Madrid’s team this season, contributing two goals and two assists in 14 competitive games.
Carlo Ancelotti’s choice to use him in a somewhat more forward position than normal is one of the key reasons for his success this season.
Carvajal praised Ancelotti’s method in a recent interview, saying (h/t MARCA), “This system suits me, it always has.” I have greater leeway. That liberation brings me closer to the opposition’s objective.”
Carvajal has scored two goals and assisted on two others in 11 La Liga games this season. When questioned about his season goal total, the right-back said that it will be around five.
“A goal wager?” I’m not sure; I have two objectives. I’m hoping for four or five. But, in the end, I want to win championships,” he remarked.
The Spaniard also commented on Real Madrid’s recent plan to rename the Real Madrid Sports Complex Florentino Perez Sports City.
“I think it’s fantastic that it bears his name,” Carvajal said, adding, “he deserves it.”
“For all the years he’s been here, for how he’s saved the club from very difficult situations, he’s won everything, many titles, the management he’s doing as players, as a team.” “He has ushered in a new era,” he said.
Finally, Carvajal addressed Gerard Pique’s recent remarks that no one would remember Real Madrid’s 14th Champions League triumph.
“I’m not going to engage Gerard in a debate.” If he doesn’t want to remember it, don’t remember it, but I believe it will be the most remembered,” he remarked.
