Recruited by Real Madrid in 2022 in exchange for €80 million, Aurélien Tchouameni experienced several complicated months. But since Xabi Alonso took the reins of Casa Blanca, the French midfielder has once again become an essential starter for the Merengues. Former midfielder, has Alonso helped the former Monegasque to raise his head? The main person concerned confirms that his new coach helped him.
“From the first day, we had a video meeting, him and I. He showed me footage from the season on positioning, what I can improve on, what I can build on. Positioning, play with and without the ball. I feel since the start of the season that I have progressed in certain aspects. Positioning with ball. Forward play. Positioning in the “squares”. You can run a lot, but you also have to know how to run efficiently. Sometimes you don’t have to make much effort to receive the ball in the right position and you waste less energy.”he confided in an interview with The Team.
