Tchouaméni's Great Support in Madrid's Changing Room, the French Very Grateful

One of Real Madrid's most notorious debates undoubtedly revolves around Aurélien Tchouaméni. The French player has been harshly criticized for some time, however, the major focus came after the Spanish Supercopa final. His poor performance in that game held in Jeddah has caused some discontent among Madrid fans.

The round of 16 game between Real Madrid and Celta de Vigo made the opinion of the Madrid supporters clear, as the French '14' received a loud booing. Even during the first half, every time he touched the ball, the stands of the white stadium turned against him. The improvement in his performance in the game against the Galician team silenced those protests.

However, the discontent surrounding the French stopper's performances remains. So much so that Mbappé had to step in and address some fans to ask them to change their attitude toward his compatriot at Madrid. It happened during the celebration of his goal scored against Celta de Vigo, just two days ago.

The excellent individual play by the French player ended with the ball inside Iván Villar's goal. After making his usual gestures, the Madrid '9' grabbed his jersey, pointing with some anger at the Real Madrid crest. After clapping that jersey's area several times, he seemed to shake his index finger while saying something to the fans in front of him.

All together

The mystery about his words has been solved thanks to the information published by MARCA. This newspaper reveals that Kylian Mbappé's curious celebration was aimed at supporting Aurélien Tchouaméni in front of all Madrid fans. The 'reproach' thought up by the Bondy striker is another sign of the strong friendship that unites the Parisian striker with the Rouen midfielder.

Kylian Mbappé didn't want to forget his teammate most criticized by Madrid fans since the defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final. With a striking request for respect for the Real Madrid player, the French forward makes it clear that he stands by his friend, reminding him that he played a good match.

The support Mbappé has shown Tchouaméni doesn't only come off the field. During the early stages of the match, the Madrid striker warned his compatriot that he has the quality needed to turn boos into applause.

He did it briefly, showing to Madrid fans and Carlo Ancelotti that his most natural and effective position is at the base of the tactical scheme proposed by the Reggiolo coach. Everything points to Aurélien Tchouaméni returning to the pivot position... especially after the injury of Eduardo Camavinga, who will be out for approximately three weeks.
