On Wednesday evening, Real Madrid hardly validated its ticket for the semi-finals of the King's Cup after having come to the end of Leganés (2-3) on Wednesday evening. While they thought they had done the hardest by leading 0-2, the Merengues were joined (2-2), before finally winning at the very end of the match thanks to a young Training, Gonzalo Garcia.
A meeting for which Carlo Ancelotti had decided to run, he who was deprived of Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham. Faced with a host of wounded in defense – David Alaba, Eder Militao, Antonio Rüdiger or Dani Carvajal – the Italian technician has chosen to align an experimental hinge made up of Raul Asensio and young Jacobo Ramon. Aurélien Tchouameni thus found his favorite post before the defense.
“I told him not to rejoice too much”
Forced to regularly align the former Monegasque in central defense since the start of the season, Carlo Ancelotti will still need his French international to help out in this position. He clearly suggested it at the end of the match.
“Tchouameni, as a pivotal environment, he brings a lot to the team, especially on a defensive level. He was very happy to play this position. I told him not to rejoice too much (laughs) “Said the former PSG coach at a press conference. The number 14 of the White House actually has a great chance to go back to defense on Saturday evening, on the occasion of the Madrid derby against Atlético.
