Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde is a man in top form.

Valverde has been getting praise from all corner, mostly for his tenacity in midfield and also for adding goals to his game.

Last season, Valverde scored just one goal in 46 games. This season so far, he has scored 8 goals in just 20 matches.

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has said he’d like to be like the in-form Real Madrid man.

“Yes, well, Fede is playing higher now, but it is clear that he is a good example. I have to improve in that aspect,” Pedri told Marca.

“If I had Aladdin’s lamp, I would ask for more goals. It is not an obsession, although it is true that in the national team I have not scored yet.

“It is something that I know I have to improve and I hope that the first goal will come in the World Cup.”
