Aurélien Tchouameni says he is satisfied with his new role under the direction of Xabi Alonso, the Real Madrid coach, and says that the situation has improved this year.
The Madrid midfielder grew up in Bordeaux and recently inaugurated a stadium in his name in the Artigues-Près-Bordeaux district, from which he is from. The Frenchman found his rhythm under the direction of Alonso and has evolved as a holder, which is not the case for all the Merengues. The 25 -year -old says that this year was positive for him, both under the direction of former coach Carlo Ancelotti and that of Alonso, gradually adapting to his new versatile role.

Under Alonso, Tchouameni assumed a key role in Madrid, the coach using it both as a central defensive midfielder and as a central defender according to the course of the match. During his interviews, the Madrilene coach called him as a “essential pillar” of the team because of his weight and the various roles he endorsed.
In an interview with Marca, interviewed on Alonso and the new responsibilities he entrusted to him, Tchouameni said: “I am happy with him, to be honest. It is true that things are going well for me with the coach and that he has new ideas for me and the team, but I think things went much better for me since the beginning of 2025, and I already felt good under Carlo. Anyway, the idea is now to focus on each match, help my teammates and continue to progress. ”
The international break finished, the Madrid midfielder will find his teammates in Valdebebas. The Alonso team will face Real Sociedad in the league before starting its Champions League campaign against Marseille on September 17.
