The Italian coach has always maintained a strong bond with his players before matches, particularly those who need extra motivation to get back to their best form. Recently, according to the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” Ancelotti had a conversation with Aurélien Tchouaméni to discuss his role for today’s match. Ancelotti will once again include the French midfielder in Real Madrid’s starting lineup. Tchouaméni is expected to play as a defensive midfielder, while Rüdiger will join Asensio in a pivot role. However, there is still a possibility that David Alaba may be included in the starting XI either today or in the next match.
Despite facing criticism in recent months, Tchouaméni remains highly trusted by the coaching staff. They believe he has the potential to succeed at one of the best clubs in the world. While his performance hasn’t been at its peak this season, many of his teammates have also struggled, affecting the team’s overall results in key games. However, the team’s form is starting to improve in recent matches.
Tchouaméni’s talent hasn’t disappeared, and with time, he is expected to return to his best. Although not the most technically gifted player, his physical attributes stand out when he is in top form. Two seasons ago, he was excellent at reading passes and intercepting the ball.
The main challenge for Tchouaméni is regaining his confidence, which he hopes to achieve at Real Madrid, where it has always been his dream to play. He is an incredibly competitive player who aims to give his best, which is why he has been frustrated by his recent performances.
At Real Madrid, the goal is for Tchouaméni to play without feeling pressured. The club has made it clear that he should ignore the criticism surrounding him, as they have full faith in his abilities and future potential. With several years left on his contract, the club is confident that he will prove his worth in the seasons to come.
