Report: Carlo Ancelotti plans to build Real Madrid midfield around Aurelien Tchouameni
Carlo Ancelotti seems to favour Aurelien Tchouameni as Real Madrid's first-choice defensive midfielder.
<p>
Despite Aurelien Tchouameni's inconsistent campaign at Real Madrid, recent reports have hinted that Carlo Ancelotti has faith in the player. </p>
<p>
According to AS, Ancelotti is constructing his team for the next season with Tchouameni as the starting defensive midfielder. </p>
<p>
This decision not only ensures regular playing time for the France international but also provides insights into the manager's plans for the crowded midfield department. </p>
<p>
It suggests that Toni Kroos won't be primarily deployed as a defensive midfielder in the 2023/24 season, contrary to earlier reports about his future role. </p>
<p>
Additionally, it confirms that Ancelotti sees Eduardo Camavinga as a midfielder playing in more advanced positions. </p>
<p>
This development opens up room for further speculation. With Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric, Dani Ceballos, and Kroos all vying for just two spots, the competition intensifies. </p>
<p>
Initially, it seemed that the younger generation would take over from the veterans. </p>
<p>
However, recent reports indicate that Kroos and Modric will maintain their prominence in the team, dispelling notions of reduced playing time for them. </p>
