Tchouaméni: "If We Lose 2-0, That's Our Problem as Players, Not the Coach's"

French international Aurélien Tchouaméni delivered clear messages ahead of Real Madrid's crucial match against Manchester City, reflecting a sense of awareness and responsibility within the royal club's dressing room. He emphasized that the players bear the main responsibility for recent errors.

During the pre-match press conference, Tchouaméni was asked if the team needed more coaching intervention. He responded, "Against Celta, the coach set up a good plan. But we are the ones who play on the pitch, and if we lose 2-0, that means the fault was on our side, not the coach's problem, and we will work to improve that."

The midfielder commented on his relationship with his coach Xabi Alonso, stating: "We are all in the same boat. If we want to win, we have to fight as a team. We are the ones on the pitch, and we have to perform better. Tomorrow we have a good opportunity to turn the situation around."

It is worth noting that Real Madrid will host Manchester City tomorrow, Wednesday, at 21:00 GMT+1, as part of the sixth round of the league stage of the Champions League competition.
