Lor what seemed to intuit throughout the summer American tour of Real Madrid, is already a reality. As glimpsed during the pre-season friendlies, Tchouamni and Camavinga are running as two of the key pieces of the medullary that Ancelotti has made, a tactical framework conceived in the shape of a diamond. This was seen in the Cathedral, and everything indicates that it will not be something punctual. Between facts and messages, the Italian technician has made it clear that both Aurlien and Eduardo have become two important players in their new game idea.
As for the former Rennes player, Carlo said that this season he had different plans for him. The native of Angola had already established himself as that multipurpose player Able to be patch employee in different positions. Last year he had to start in several games from the left side. An event that Ancelotti has already ruled out for this season: “The idea is that he plays in the middle, not on the side”. Said and done, for now.
Camavinga returns to the middle
camavinga He was the only player on the squad, along with Bellingham, who As a starter in all preseason games. she did it like inside. Something that already left us clues as to what would be seen in the league debut. In San Mams, Eduardo gave samples of what is able to do when playing his position. As in friendlies, I started from the start and, from the first minute, He dominated the midfield at will.

we could see it moving Madrid from side to sideappearing in all areas of the field, especially in the left flank. It was established as the axis of the spinal cord, making the ball tilt, with a 90% accuracy in passes and 5 long moves. Also, his placement within the ‘green’ allowed him to ‘tackle’ up to 5 times, win 9 duels and intercept 1 ball. In short, it is this type of action that has made Camavinga become one of the fixtures for Ancelotti, first in the eleven, and now, in the midfield.
Tchouamni, the containment of the diamond
Who was not left behind either was Aurlien Tchouamni. The Frenchman, who already He had given signs in the preseason of having recovered his best leveloffered in San Mams, a Defensive and football clinic of what should be and do a pivot on the pitch. Anticipating a physical encounter, Ancelotti opted for the former Monaco midfielder to the detriment of Kroos. And the play went well. It seems that aurlienat this beginning of the campaign, He has won the game against the German and, after what was seen on the grass the other day, it will be difficult to take his place.

Tchouamni gave a recital in the 90 minutes that he played against Athletic. This is evidenced by the data. Control the release of the ball with a 95% accuracy in passes (52/55). He did 6 of 6 on long drives. In addition, in the destructive facet he was also quite participatory. They win 5 of the 7 duels he played. He was omnipresent throughout the field to the point of making several interceptions and blocking what could have been the only home goal. The one born in Rouen presents himself as the containment of a rhombus that allows to defend higher up and put pressure on the rival team.
With this panorama that can be seen and with Bellingham as the undisputed startereverything indicates, to this day, that there would only be a position available in the midfield. Although it is true that the season is long and that the roles can change and rotate. We’ll see what he decides ancelotti. The ball is in your court, but Tchouamni and Camavinga will not make it easy for them.
