On Saturday evening, Real Madrid fell. Still at the head of the Liga, the Merengues have collected a new defeat with Espanyol Barcelona which made a lot of noise. Indeed, Carlo Ancelotti and the Madrid press believe that Carlos Romero, who gave victory to the Catalans, should have been expelled for a violent tackle on Kylian Mbappé in the 60th minute of play. But beyond this fact of play, Madrid analysts have pointed out the yield of Aurélien Tchouameni, repositioned as a central defender.

Because the French international will be scrutinized closely in the absence of Antonio Rüdiger, a package for the next two weeks at least. If Raúl Asencio should replace German, he will be associated with the former monégasque, who worries the Madrid press because of his delicate match in Barcelona on Saturday evening. Especially since Real Madrid will chain Legans in the King's Cup, Atlético de Madrid and Girona in Liga, and Manchester City in the Champions League during this month of February.

Carlo Ancelotti trusts Aurélien Tchouameni

The situation is therefore crucial for Carlo Ancelotti. On the lawn of Cornellá, Tchouameni has particularly disappointed and still does not seem to be comfortable in his new role, he who would prefer to find a place in the midfield. The Espanyol Barcelona has also constantly sought long balloons behind, causing him problems on several actions, and in others, it is the young Asencio who should then cover in his place, noted several Iberian newspapers, This Sunday morning.

“His actions are done as a midfielder, he is not aware that he is a central defender”explained the ex-Lucas quic-back-off in a podcast. However, Carlo Ancelotti continues to trust French who should be aligned alongside Asencio against Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City. But the Mister should first test David Alaba against Leganés, although doubts remain as for his immediate performance in high -level matches. But in case of good performance by the Austrian, Carlo Ancelotti will have to decide.
