In difficulty this season at Real Madrid, Aurélien Tchouameni is not spared from criticism. Indeed, often aligned as a central defender to compensate for the absences of Éder Militão and recently that of Antonio Rüdiger, the tricolor defensive midfielder is helpless, but is not unanimous.
For Antoine Griezmann, his former teammate in the French team and Star of Atlético Madrid, the criticisms of the former monégasque are unjustified. The Mâconnais believes that there is a relentlessness on Tchouameni, who, according to him, is not always appreciated at its fair value.
“People are looking for someone to criticize”
“He does a very difficult job because he is not a central defender”judged the 2018 world champion to Movistar +. “Everyone criticizes him when he plays this position. And when you use it as a middle, it is compared to Kroos, when they do not have the same game. People are hard with him, but I love him very much as a player and even more as a person. »»
“He is criticized, sometimes too much, I think. I have the impression that sometimes people are looking for someone to criticize, and in the end it is him. I think it's the easiest thing to do. (…) People must be less hard with him and try to help him because he is a player made for Real ”, he continued.
Griezmann and Tchouameni will have the opportunity to meet the iron during the Madrid derby this Saturday in the league. A shock that promises, since Real is currently at the top of the ranking, while Atlético occupies second place, a length of its neighbor.
