Carlo Ancelotti has heaped praise on Aurelien Tchouameni, highlighting four key qualities that make the French midfielder an exceptional talent at Real Madrid.

“Aurelien Tchouameni has a very strong character and personality. He is a worker. Very serious and top professional,” Ancelotti told Real Madrid TV.

The Madrid boss also commended Tchouameni’s ability to handle adversity and grow from criticism.

“He has also managed criticism very well. Now he is playing very well with and without the ball,” Ancelotti added.

Ancelotti’s words perfectly capture Tchouameni’s resurgence in the Madrid squad. The Frenchman faced heavy scrutiny earlier in the season, particularly when deployed in central defence, but he has since silenced doubters with commanding performances in midfield.

His display against Rayo Vallecano was a testament to his growing influence. Tchouameni registered four interceptions, two tackles, two clearances, and won four ground duels—showcasing his defensive awareness and all-round ability.

With his work ethic, mental toughness, and top-class performances, Tchouameni continues to prove why he is an invaluable asset for Real Madrid.
