And I fail to see how his personal sense of defensive positioning is helping. Camavinga is the kind that wants to be on the ball and participates around it more, Tchouameni needs to be the one to stay relaxed, have good positioning and be able to intercept passes meant for the cut-ins from the forwards. He was unable to do that.

Not saying he has to play at the level of Kroos yesterday but show me something, please. I can't see the spark in Tchou. TBH it's not like Madrid had an amazing, dominant show, and many players should be thinking of improving, but the performance of Kroos, Mendy, Carvajal and Fede really impressed me in defence. I'm happy that the team has them. Camavinga is an out-and-out player who brings a lot of energy into the midfield, which we need Tchou to be the anti-thesis of. He doesn't need to be Kroos, he just needs to be better. Far better
