Aurélien Tchouaméni gave his thoughts on joining Real Madrid minutes after he was unveiled with the club’s number 18 shirt
Have you spoken to Carlo Ancelotti?
“Yes, I have spoken to him, during the negotiations. He was very nice. He told me that if I wanted to keep growing and learning, I should go to Real Madrid. After the meeting he told me that he was very happy,” the France international said in words reported by Marca.
On inspirations
“I watch videos of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. They are sports legends. We can’t rest for a moment. My day-to-day is always to work to the maximum and improve.”
Watching Madrid’s European comebacks
“During the Champions League final there were already negotiations with Madrid and it’s true that when I saw the games against PSG or City I wrote to my agent and said: ‘do everything possible to take me there, please’.”
Position on the pitch
“I’ve played with two midfielders since I was a kid and at Madrid in a 4-3-3, my position would be as a 6, but I can play as an 8.”
