Tchouaméni Analyzes Real Madrid's Performance and Leaves a Message That Has Generated Debate Among Fans

Aurélien Tchouaméni's season has been a real roller coaster of emotions, just like for the entire Real Madrid squad. In the summer, after Toni Kroos's departure, all eyes were on him as the main leader of the Madrid midfield. Carlo Ancelotti gave him a key role in the center of Real Madrid's midfield.

The Italian coach gave him the confidence to be Real Madrid's organizer in the first matches of the season. However, it soon became clear that his profile was very different from Toni Kroos's. Tchouaméni has a much more defensive vocation and struggles when he has to take on playmaking duties.

The Santiago Bernabéu, demanding as always, hasn't hesitated to show its discontent on some occasions. Additionally, numerous injuries in the defense have forced Tchouaméni to play as a center-back for several months. It wasn't his ideal position, but he fulfilled it with commitment.

Tchouaméni Finds His Best Version

To the surprise of many, his performance has improved significantly in recent weeks. He has returned to the midfield with a more defined role in which he feels comfortable and it has shown. Now he focuses on ball recovery and defensive solidity without taking unnecessary risks and plays with much more confidence.

This evolution has allowed Real Madrid to gain balance and security in the midfield. Carlo Ancelotti has found in him a reliable pivot, capable of supporting Real Madrid in difficult moments.

Tchouaméni's Message That Makes You Reflect

After the Copa del Rey tie against Real Sociedad, the Frenchman didn't hold back. He made a statement that has caused a great debate among Madrid fans.

"We are happy to be in the final, but we have to play better." These words reflect the feelings of many fans after the match.

A Warning for Real Madrid

Tchouaméni is aware that, to win titles, the team must raise their level of play. His statement was no coincidence. It is a clear message that there are aspects to improve if they want to compete at the highest level.

As the season progresses, his role will continue to be crucial in Ancelotti's plans. The French midfielder has shown that he can be a pillar at Real Madrid. Now, it only remains to be seen if the team responds to his call.
