Real Madrid fans have blasted the performance of French midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni in their 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in La Liga on September 29. The versatile midfielder did not impress the Los Blancos faithful with his three lost duels and two fouls, while losing possession once.
After the match, fans of the Bernabeu-based club took to X to criticize the Frenchman's performance, with one saying:
"tchouameni ain’t better then joelinton and if I do kounde I get problem w walker."
A fan opined:
"Camavinga needs to get fit quick. Tchouameni doesn’t play with a sense of energy can’t move with the ball like he does."
Another fan chimed in:
"We actually cried for that Tchouameni guy or whatever his name is, everytime I watch him his diabolical."
One post declared the midfielder a liability.
"Tchouameni and being a liability," it read.
Another fan lamented the midfielder's performance, saying:
"Bro what the hell is tchouameni doing. He cant even control a ball wtf."
The final post in our selection was critical of the Frenchman's touch.
"Tchouameni doesn’t have a first touch man. Ball has cannoned off his foot three times this half," it read.
Tchouameni will hope he can improve on his performance against Atletico Madrid and get the fans back on his side when Real Madrid take on LOSC Lille in the Champions League on October 2.
Real Madrid boss defends Tchouameni's performance in Atletico Madrid clash
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has backed French Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni after his outing against Atletico Madrid. The Frenchman has been with the Spanish giants since 2022 when he joined from AS Monaco for a reported €80 million.
He has gone on to make 97 appearances for Los Blancos in that time, scoring scoring three goals and assisting five more. The 24-year-old has helped the club to One La Liga and one UEFA Champions League crown among other honors.
Speaking after the match about the France international, Ancelotti said (via Managing Madrid):
“He’s good. This was a very hard-fought and competitive game, it wasn’t ideal for him after a long-time out and he could play on Wednesday. Tchouameni had presence on the ball and was fantastic.”
Real Madrid's draw against Atletico Madrid saw them maintain their unbeaten streak in the Spanish top flight for over a year. Rojiblancos were the last team to beat them on September 24, 2023.
The reigning champions of Spain are currently second in La Liga, three points behind eternal rivals Barcelona after eight games.
