Ancelotti has full faith in ‘enormously talented’ Real Madrid midfielder despite dip in form
Aurelien Tchouameni is enduring a difficult phase at Real Madrid lately. Since the end of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the midfielder has fallen out of favour, struggling with form and falling behind in the pecking order.
The Frenchman has also been constantly omitted from the starting eleven in crucial matches, which has reflected badly on the player’s overall outlook.
However, Carlo Ancelotti is not willing to lose any hope and continues to work with the midfielder, in an attempt to maximise his output. He still trusts the youngster to get out of his rough patch and once again become a crucial element in the Real Madrid midfield, reports Diario AS.
Together with the coaching staff, Tchouameni is working every day to maximise his skills and make himself better in possession. He did put up an excellent display in the recent win over Almeria, with many hoping that he can continue his form.
Apart from showing excellent commitment, Tchouameni has been polishing his mistake too. He has been heeding Ancelotti’s advice, who in turn, believes the youngster has ‘enormous’ potential.
Although the prolonged stay of veterans Luka Modric and Toni Kroos will once again affect Tchouameni’s role next season, Ancelotti believes he has what it takes to become an asset for the club.
The Italian mastermind, who is likely to continue at Santiago Bernabeu owing to his excellent relationship with Florentino Perez, could play a critical role behind Tchouameni’s potential revival.
But for the time being, the player must focus on his performance. With just a few games remaining until the end of the season, there is hope Ancelotti will favour Tchouameni for the league games. If he can make an impression in La Liga, there is every possibility he could entrusted to feature in the crucial cup games.
Eden Hazard is one of the Real Madrid players who have vowed to stay at Santiago Bernabeu until the end of his contract. His current deal at the club expires in 2024.
Even though the Real Madrid star has been courted by several MLS and even the Saudi Arabian clubs, the forward has shown no desire to leave Bernabeu just yet. He wants to stay at the club even though Los Blancos are ready to sanction his sale this summer.
In the midst of this drama, a fresh report from Alfredo Matilla suggests Real Madrid are now considering terminating the contract of Eden Hazard.
This comes shortly after a report which claimed that a Real Madrid player who is not out of contract this summer, may shockingly leave the club this summer. Ferland Mendy was a potential candidate, but it appears Hazard has not been ruled out either.
The Belgian international has offered very little since joining from Chelsea in 2019 for a record-breaking €115 million fee. His spell at the Bernabeu has been marred by injuries, while the player has also struggled to impress when given the opportunities.
Inside the Real Madrid dressing room, there is both grief and resentment towards Belgian, who has remained steadfast in his decision to stay at the club. He has a good standing in the team due to his professionalism, but the Real Madrid bosses are determined to get rid of him this summer.
Hazard, after all, is the highest-paid player in the squad and his departure could open up a chunk of the space in the salary mass. But it must be noted that Real Madrid would have to spend a fortune to terminate Hazard’s contract.
Hence, it will be interesting to see whether or not Los Blancos end up splashing the cash in order to get Hazard out of their books this coming summer.
