Real Madrid Confidencial Ancelotti's Message About Tchouaméni After His Best Match and Warning for the Derby
Aurélien Tchouaméni completed another great match and arrives in his best form for the Madrid classic.
It was a Real Madrid at half throttle, sometimes walking on the field, that won against Rayo Vallecano. A version that provoked whistles from the Santiago Bernabéu on some occasions. However, it was effective enough to achieve victory and, at least temporarily, regain the co-leadership.
Kylian Mbappé appeared with a goal that opened the scoring and dispelled some ghosts. It wasn't his best match, but he was very effective.
On the opposite side, Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham stood out as the best of the match, both for their football and their attitude. Meanwhile, Aurélien Tchouaméni, despite starting with some doubts, ended up shining for his commitment and attitude.
Aurélien Tchouaméni, in His Best Shape
The French pivot started somewhat out of place, breaking the compact team that Carlo Ancelotti so often demands. He was good in recoveries and correct in ball distribution, although he left some space behind. However, as the minutes passed, he corrected that imperfection until he ended at a very high level, sacrificing himself and resolving the duels.
Aurélien Tchouaméni, who already completed a great match against Atlético de Madrid in the first leg, arrives at his best moment for the classic. It seems that nothing remains of that player who was once booed by the Santiago Bernabéu. A complete change ahead of the most important part of the season.
Carlo Ancelotti's Praise
Once the match ended, Carlo Ancelotti spoke about the French player's performance in the press conference.
"Tchouaméni has a very strong character and personality. He's hardworking, serious, and professional. He has handled criticism very well", he explained.
"Now he's playing very well with the ball. We had to discover him without the ball and it's spectacular. The Modrić and Tchouaméni pair has done very well", the Italian commented regarding Aurélien Tchouaméni.
"If we play like the first half, we have a good chance of advancing in the knockout stage", Carletto commented. Without a doubt, Real Madrid arrives with better feelings after the victory against Rayo Vallecano and after Atlético's defeat in Getafe.
