Real Madrid suffered a tough draw against Las Palmas last night, although this result clearly left the Madridistas with a taste of defeat.
Real Madrid have stumbled in two out of three matches and have lost four valuable points at the start of this season’s La Liga campaign, which puts the team at risk of losing the competition early.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, there is a lot of criticism being directed at Carlo Ancelotti’s team at the moment, but there is a particularly strong criticism directed at Aurelien Tchouameni.
Aurelien Tchouameni is far from his best and Carlo Ancelotti knows that he needs him at his best, although he is aware that missing the pre-season is having a negative impact on him, which is one of the reasons why the player is not shining.
The Italian coach said in a press conference a few days ago: “Tchouameni is a key player for us, he has very important characteristics for us. I am not asking him to be like Kroos, just as I did not ask Kroos to be like Tchouameni. Each person has their own characteristics. The team has to adapt to Tchouameni’s characteristics, which are important for us.”
Ancelotti told Perez that Tchouameni is the reason for Real Madrid’s stumbling due to his poor performance recently, in addition to his poor positioning and coming out with the ball from behind, which forces the attacking players to drop into the middle of the field to start the attack.
The Italian’s plan is to give him a rest when Eduardo Camavinga returns, because in such a long season, he will need the best version of all his players.
