Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has threatened to “rip up his coach’s licence” if Fede Valverde doesn’t score over ten goals for Real Madrid this season.

Valverde scored just once last season but has scored three goals already this season in only eight appearances and has two assists.

“What seemed strange to me was that he just scored once last season. I told him that if he was not able to score more than 10 goals, I’d have to rip up my coach’s licence. He has a rock in his foot,” Ancelotti said after seeing his Real Madrid beat Leipzig 2-0 at Santiago Bernabeu.

Valverde will be hoping to continue his goalscoring form when Real Madrid take on Atletico Madrid this weekend.
