The French midfielder from Real was defended by his coach at a press conference.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti agrees with Madridistas that Aurélien Tchouameni did not cover himself in glory when Antoine Griezmann burst down the left to score the winning goal in the Madrid derby. Naturally, in less extreme terms. He made it clear, however, that the criticism should be mixed with the praise he deserved for the Spanish Super Cup.

Tchouaméni made a mistake against Griezmann

“He played the Super Cup final at his best level, perhaps his best match. In the Cup, he didn’t play from the start because he was tired. He stepped in, he tried to give what he could to help. He could have done better on Griezmann’s goal, yes, in that sense there are no doubts. »

Tchouameni was criticized by Real Madrid fans for his role in the goal. While Griezmann escapes the attention of Vinicius Junior, Tchouameni is caught returning to his area, instead of positioning himself to support the Brazilian. As with every Real Madrid defeat, criticism will come, but it is true that Toni Kroos expressed his frustration with the Frenchman several times during extra time.

With stiff competition in Real Madrid’s midfield, this could cost Tchouameni dearly, although his performance against Barcelona may have proven that he is the best sitting midfielder Real Madrid have at their best.
