Since the start of the season, the French midfielder's performances have become increasingly worrying as the matches progress.
With the retirement of Toni Kroos, Aurélien Tchouaméni undeniably has more responsibilities in midfield and expectations around him have been high since the start of the season. It's not a question of asking Tchouaméni to be the new Kroos because each player is unique and the German's profile is in itself irreplaceable.
On the other hand, Tchouaméni must take care, even more than last year, of relaunching the Madrid game with an alternation of short and long games used wisely. And this is where the problem lies for Aurélien. The French international slows down the game more than speeds it up, struggles to find key passes, is in difficulty in small spaces and in the long term, it would be logical for Camavinga, better in this playing profile, to take his place. place.
Aurélien Tchouaméni was back in the starting lineup against Bilbao after an injury which sidelined him for a month. And it is clear that the Frenchman continues to fail to convince of his importance in the Madrid midfield. Against the Basques, he had a ghostly match to say the least… Critics continue to surround the player in the Spanish media who even go so far as to say that he does not have the level for Real Madrid. Some also argue that he would be more useful in a central defender role in relation to his physical profile.
-His future therefore seems uncertain at Real Madrid especially as the club is looking for a new central midfielder in the style of Rodri (Manchester City) for example. The club is even attentive to potential teams interested in Tchouaméni's profile by next summer. As for Carlo Ancelotti, Aurélien still seems to fit into his plans because the Italian coach highly appreciates the profile of the French player, a bit like Casemiro.
