Montevideo, 24 Mar Uruguayan midfielder Federico Valverde celebrated La Celeste's qualification for the 2022 Qatar World Cup on Thursday during an interview on AUF.TV, in which he did not forget the 'Maestro' Oscar Washington Tabárez, who led the national team for almost 16 years. “It was part of all this,” said 'El Pajarito', who thanked the young people, including him, for the advice he gave to young people so that they could grow as footballers and as people. On the other hand, the Real Madrid footballer said that he is “happy” to win the World Cup after a playoff in which Uruguay had to overcome several obstacles. “Not everything was very nice, but achieving the goal is beautiful,” said the midfielder, who this Thursday against Peru started the play that gave his team the first goal and then hit a distant shot against the crossbar. Finally, he thanked the people who were “always” supporting the players. This Thursday, Uruguay beat Peru 1-0 with a goal by Giorgian de Arrascaeta at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo and sealed the ticket to the World Cup in Qatar, the fourth in which he will participate in a row. Once the match was over, the 15th number of La Celeste celebrated on the pitch with his partner and his young son and had words of remembrance for his parents, who had to stay in Spain and could not accompany tonight's triumph.
