We tried Jude in this position and I really liked it. Regarding Tchouameni: when we had the ball, he played between the two central defenders. That’s where we had a balance problem in the first half.” confided Carlo Ancelotti.
“When we had the ball, Tchouameni played between the two central players”
For several weeks, Carlo Ancelotti is looking for solutions so that its Real Madrid continues to shine. By tenure Tchouameni in defense, the coach seemed to have an idea in his head and obviously, he is not closed to the idea of bringing it up to date. « Did you have enough time to work on this tactic with Aurélien Tchouameni? It’s not that you have to work on it a lot. As long as he is integrated between the central defenders, it’s fine. The only problem was that when he lost the ball, he moved forward and the central defenders were left exposed. And that’s where we suffered. We must remedy this, calmly, we can do it. But we’re not going to play like that all the time. Maybe we will do it in certain matches, to have an exit without too much pressure, but faced with the different conceptions of our opponents, we will be able to play with the usual pivot.explained Carlo Ancelotti.
