Very criticized a few weeks ago, the Frenchman has once again become an essential player in Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>This is the kind of scene that seems far away. Three months ago, when his name is announced in the composition against Celta Vigo, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouameni is hu\u00e9 by the Bernab\u00e9u. An immense bronca, which comes to conclude first complicated five months for the French season. <\/p>\n<p>But that evening, after seven consecutive games holding central defense, the former Bordeaux finally finds his post, in the midfield. He also finds the sheet of stats, by signing his first assist of the season. 120 minutes of play, and a remarkable service at his preferential post. The Frenchman touches more balls than any other teammate, earns more duels, succeeds in more defensive actions &#8230; In short, the Tchouam\u00e9ni that Real Madrid thought of recruiting three years ago, for 80 million euros. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subheading\" id=\"e54hs\">Elected player of March at Real<\/h2>\n<p>Since this mid-January party evening, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouameni alternates between defense and midfielder, but has proven that it was essential for <strong>Carlo Ancelotti.<\/strong> &#8220;Tchouameni has a very strong personality and character. He is a worker, a professional. He has managed criticism very well. He is very good in the use of the ball at the moment and we do not discover that he is spectacular without balloon&#8221;, <strong>assured the Italian technician<\/strong> A few weeks ago. <\/p>\n<p>Symbol of his progression, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouameni was elected player of the month at Real Madrid in March. Against Arsenal to go, he missed. The Madrids did not face the English intensity, and the return of the French international could do the greatest good to the Merengues this Wednesday evening. <\/p>\n<p>Proof of his impact, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouameni is by far the player of Real Madrid with the most outfits (27, in front of the 17 of R\u00fcdiger), but also the most aerial duels won (60, in front of the 47 of R\u00fcdiger). The Frenchman wins more than 70% of his duels in the air, more than any other Madrid at more than 15 duels this season. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subheading\" id=\"1dhh5\">A decisive return to Arsenal? <\/h2>\n<p>Add to that his interceptions (2nd), and his number of successful passes (3rd), and you have a player whose statistics reflect the reality on the ground: Real can no longer do without Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni. In Spain, its performance does not go unnoticed. &#8220;The Frenchman noted his level incredibly,&#8221; said Marca this weekend, after a new convincing match in Alav\u00e9s. <\/p>\n<p>This Wednesday evening against Arsenal, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouameni will find his holder&#39;s place, after his suspension on the outward journey. The French international could be part of the difference in Bernab\u00e9u, but it will take much more than him to hope to qualify on the Real Madrid side. If he wants to dream of a comeback: everything will have to be aligned this evening. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Suspended at the outward journey, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouameni is back this Wednesday evening against Arsenal (9 p.m.), in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
