It seems that Carlo Ancelotti has been enjoying tinkering with his French for several weeks. After tinkering with Eduardo Camavinga on the left of the defense and in two positions in the midfield (sentinel then relay player), the Italian technician could well move his French international Aurélien Tchouameni back into central defense to compensate for the numerous unavailability in the central hinge ( Militao and Alaba for injuries and Nacho for suspension), and this for the reception of Osasuna for the 9th day of La Liga.
At a press conference before welcoming the Pamplona club, the Mister considered this possibility, even adding that another option would be possible to accompany the expected Antonio Rüdiger. And there too, it’s another tricolor: “Alaba is not at his best, so he will not play. The options we have are Mendy or Tchouaméni. You will know tomorrow, I know today. We tried Tchouaméni in this position because he has a lot of defensive qualities. But there is also Mendy (Ferland, editor’s note) who is already used to playing in defense.”
