Having played as a central defender several times last season, Aurélien Tchouaméni had given satisfaction. Asked about the Frenchman’s positioning ahead of the European Super Cup, Carlo Ancelotti was clear. ” No, no, the central defenders are (Antonio) Rüdiger and (Eder) Militao. (Aurélien) Tchouaméni is for the midfield “, he announced after the friendly against Chelsea, in comments relayed by Brand.
In 2023-2024, Real Madrid had to deal with the long-term injuries of Eder Militao and David Alaba, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury. Antonio Rüdiger and Nacho were also absent, but for short periods. All this had forced Aurélien Tchouaméni to step back a notch on the pitch. The former Girondins de Bordeaux player took part in ten matches as a central defender. But clearly, this is no longer the case for Ancelotti.
