The RMC journalist, Fred Hermelmentioned the preference of the former Girondins de Bordeaux midfielder,
Aurélien Tchouaménito play in midfield rather than central defense.
“Yes, and he is right to say that, except that when you are at Real, you do what you are told. Frankly, he never balked. He has never done an interview, or sent a message, or comments on social networks, or people around him who sent messages to journalists to say that it is a shame to play central defender: not at all. He is a good soldier, a conscientious player. Of course, he would prefer to play in midfield, but he doesn't complain or hesitate to play central defender when Carlo Ancelotti asks him. Besides, Carlo highlighted it, saying that he was doing us a favor. On this, and God knows if I sometimes have criticisms of Tchouaméni's game, but there is absolutely nothing to complain about his attitude. And when you are at Real Madrid, it is still a very important point in his favor.”
In recent months, he has not been spared from injuries. Because of them, he has rented 30 matches since his arrival.
“He’s an important player for Real Madrid, so he’s in high demand. From the moment you play two positions, in a team where there are lots of injuries, you are automatically in high demand. He is a very important player at Real. There are grievances, but there is a reality, which is that today he is a player who counts at Real.”
