Didac Aguirre Ancelotti Makes a Surprising Decision with Tchouaméni and Asencio
The unexpected turn in the situation of Tchouaméni and Asencio following Carlo Ancelotti's decision
One of the most solid central defenders that Real Madrid has is Raúl Asencio. The academy player, whose debut was against Osasuna, has managed to exceed all expectations placed on him. Winning the affection of the fans and his teammates, the central defender received unexpected news after the recent decision made by Carlo Ancelotti.
Tchouaméni remains ahead of Asencio to be Real Madrid's central defender. However, every time the Frenchman plays from the back, Lucas Vázquez will not be lined up as the right wing. Being able to use the academy player as winger, the Galician has been clearly disadvantaged by this decision.
Moreover, this has shown that Ancelotti still has full confidence in Tchouaméni's abilities. While waiting for David Alaba to return to his best form, the French will continue to be the chosen central defender for the upcoming games.
Ancelotti's surprise
Suffering quite a bit with the defense due to injuries, Ancelotti has worked hard to ensure solidity in this position. Despite the great level Asencio has shown, the coach trusts Tchouaméni's abilities blindly. Despite the constant criticism the Frenchman has received, he remains important to Ancelotti.
The recent decision by the Italian has been quite a surprise, clearly disadvantaging Lucas Vázquez. The Galician, who has also been criticized throughout the season, could see a clear reduction in his playing minutes. A decision that is entirely pleasing to the Madrid fanbase.
Entering the most important stage of the season, Ancelotti seeks to consolidate the team to face the upcoming matches. Due to this, the coach has turned to the players he trusts the most to succeed in the tournaments they are still competing in.
Another opportunity for Tchouaméni
Waiting for Alaba's progress, Tchouaméni will continue to enjoy several minutes of play. The Frenchman has another opportunity to prove his worth and justify Ancelotti's trust. Meanwhile, Asencio has maintained his patience to wait for his moment to shine in the team.
