In L’After Foot
on RMC, Walid
Acherchour consultant, was not gentle with
Aurelien Tchouameni since the start of the Euro. The midfielder is not at his best, but he is not the only one since the start of the competition. It should be remembered that the former player trained at the Girondins de Bordeaux is returning from injury.
“If I expected a lot more from Tchouameni and if he drags a guilty nonchalance on the field? Yes, yes. I made the distinction between what he can do at Real Madrid, in a context, in quotes, favorable, with very talented players around. And Tchouameni was very good at Real this season. Then with what he has done with the Blues for a year, a year and a half. The hardest will even talk about his 2022 World Cup, where when he joined the French team, he really brought a freshness. Even at the 2022 World Cup, apart from his goal against England, in his role as a midfielder, I was generally disappointed. There, I have already said it, I remain convinced that in addition to his injury, his matches against Germany and Chile made Deschamps consider Ngolo Kanté as a real option to challenge this midfield and become a very, very reliable solution. I’m sorry but when I watch Tchouameni’s match against the Netherlands and against Poland, I see a player who brings very little. He’s neutral with the ball, he makes very, very little difference. Is that what we ask of him or not? I’d like to know. In any case, what I see in front of my TV screen is very, very neutral.”
