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 moment in Poland. Fede Valverde scored and pointed to the number “8”, the number that his idol Toni Kroos inherited from him.

At the end of the match, he explained: “My dedication is to Toni, whom we will always remember and in whose honor, I hope, we can continue to win titles .”

Pure admiration.
