Excerpt from Fede Valverde’s interview with MARCA when asked about rumors that he would be the successor to legendary Toni Kroos’ number 8 shirt:

“The number 8 shirt? I would love it and in fact Toni personally talked to me about it.”

“In fact, I don’t really care about shirt numbers, the most important thing here is that TONI is the one who wants me to be the next person to wear Real Madrid’s number 8 shirt.”

“Toni’s gestures really made me happy, he talked about the number 8 shirt with just me quietly, which shows what a great person Toni is.”

What a time in Poland. Fede Valverde scored and pointed to the number “8.” Toni Kroos, his hero, got that number from him.

He said at the end of the match, “My dedication is to Toni. We will always remember him, and I hope we can continue to win titles in his honour.”

Full of admiration.
