<p>Per <a href="https://as.com/futbol/primera/valverde-saca-los-colores-a-tchouameni-n/" target="_blank">AS</a>, there are concerns over the fact that Tchouameni was shown up by Valverde's defensive ability in the 1-1 draw with Atletico at the weekend. The Frenchman had a central role, being tasked with sweeping up play and linking defence and attack, while Valverde operated off the right. Nevertheless, the Uruguay international turned in a more defensive perormance. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>During the game, Valverde managed nine ball recoveries from his right wing position. By comparison, Tchouameni managed five, and only had one more recovery than 39-year-old Luka Modric, who was substituted in the second half.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Tchouameni has made nine appearances in all competitions this season, with his only absence coming against Real Sociedad, when he was ruled out with a foot injury. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Real face Lille in the Champions League this week. Tchouameni will hope to turn in a more disciplined performance.</p>
