Ancelotti Backs Tchouameni Despite Hierarchy Disapproval – Eduzim News

Sports Correspondent

Carlo Ancelotti continues to support Aurélien Tchouameni, despite growing doubts about the French midfielder’s ability to perform as a centre-back for Real Madrid.

Since his return from injury in early December, Tchouameni has been deployed as a central defender due to the absences of key players David Alaba and Eder Militao. However, the 24-year-old has struggled in this unfamiliar position, which he has openly admitted to feeling uncomfortable in.

According to Relevo, Real Madrid’s hierarchy has expressed disappointment in Tchouameni’s performances. The prevailing sentiment within the club is that the Frenchman has not lived up to the high expectations placed upon him following his €80 million transfer from AS Monaco in 2022. Despite these concerns, Ancelotti remains supportive, continuing to field the player in various defensive roles.
