Aurélien Tchouameni: “With Xabi, we’ve been winning games from the start”

Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouameni was selected to face the media ahead of the UEFA Champions League game against Olympique Marseille and spoke on behalf of his team as he said, “with Xabi [Alonso] as coach, we’ve been winning games from the start, and I think we’re improving as a team and as individuals. I think everyone feels good. I try to play at my best and help my team as much as possible. We want to win everything this season, and if we play at our best, we have a good chance of doing so.”

“Commitment and playing with confidence. We know it will be demanding and that we will have to give our best to win this game.”

“If we win every game, we will be there. Let’s see what happens. The most important thing is tomorrow’s game. Hopefully we can get off to the best possible start.”

“They try to do their best every game, but they make mistakes like us. The most important thing is to win, and we did that. I have nothing to say about the referees. Everyone saw what happened. We have to look ahead.”

“We won a lot with Carlo. He’s one of the best in history. Xabi asks us to do other things; he has a different methodology. We’re improving with every game, trying to do what he wants. We have to keep it up to win games.”

“I can’t say what we train in front of our opponents, but there are changes, different methodologies. Some players have changed positions. I know Marseille. They’ll cause us problems; they have some very talented players. We have to show that we’re a strong team.”

“When you play for Madrid, there’s always pressure. There’s no more than that. Every season we have to win every title. We’re going to give it our all, for sure, and try to win titles. Last year we didn’t win much, and I hope to win more this year.”

“I don’t know... The truth is that Kylian scored a lot of goals last year and he’s continuing to do so this season. As a team, we’ve improved and we can win games. Kylian is playing at an incredible level, as he does every season. With him, we have a better chance of winning.”

“Marseille is a big team in Ligue 1. I expect a difficult game, a Champions League game, with great teams. I don’t know if all Spaniards know Olympique, but it’s a very popular team in France. A lot of people have asked me for tickets to come and watch the game. As a Frenchman and a Real Madrid fan, I’m really looking forward to this competition.”

“I remember those games that you always have to mark in red. The team is very strong at the Velodrome. The atmosphere is different. We know we have to play very well to win.”

“We know he hasn’t been able to win the Champions League yet and it’s a goal for the club. Kylian always wants to win, and we’re all going to try to do it together. First, tomorrow’s game. We have to be ready physically and mentally.“

“It’s a dream. I try to enjoy everything as a Madridista. I hope to play many more games, win titles, and enjoy every season here.”
