Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouamed has always been triggered as the successor to Casemiro, but with the Brazilian who has been missing for a long time and Toni Kroos retired last year, another step forward was expected from French. However, things did not go to planning.
The 25 -year -old did not succeed in the ground this season – as was the case for a large part of the Real Madrid team – and ended up playing a large part of the winter months in the central defense. Its weaknesses in the position were exposed, and after a few delicate performances in the central midfielder, doubts began to grow about it.
So much so that there was information according to which Real Madrid was ready to move it in summer, with Liverpool linked to a movement for the player they tried to sign as Monaco. However, in recent weeks, Tchouameni has again encountered its best form, including strong performance against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid.
Against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, he was one of the few players to stand out, and while he was The fact of being whistled by fans of the house in January, had converted the Santiago Bernabeu to applause. During the match, he recovered the ball eight times, made four interceptions, two authorizations and won six duels.
“Without the ball, it is spectacular, it is not necessary to underline it. The pairing today, Modric and Tchouameni have succeeded very well. He (tchouameni) is doing very well with the ball, “said Carlo Ancelotti Diario like After the match.
“I didn’t tell him. Tchouameni has a very strong character and personality. He is a very serious and professional worker. He manages things very well … He managed criticism very well. »»
Ancelotti has been one of the most fervent defenders in Tchouameni, and any presentation of a sale has completely died in recent weeks. It remains to be seen if Real Madrid will take him in summer, but given his age, and the fact that he has three years left, if he continues in this form the most likely result is that Los Blancos will see how things are going next year.
