Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Chuameni spoke about the most difficult period of his career and the criticism expressed by fans. The French footballer emphasized that the demands at the Madrid club are very high and any mistake is punished mercilessly. Goal.com reports on this.
According to Chuameni's words, for a while, he was made the main culprit for all the team's failures. "I was made a scapegoat.
In the first 20 minutes of the game, as soon as I touched the ball, the whole stadium would whistle. Such a situation either breaks you or forces you to focus only on your game," the player said.
The midfielder noted that playing for a club like Real Madrid requires great responsibility and mental preparation. In his opinion, fans and the media will always discuss things, but a professional footballer should focus only on what they can control—their actions on the field.
This season, the 26-year-old Chuameni appeared in 44 matches across all competitions, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists. However, he received a yellow card in the Champions League quarter-final match against Bayern Munich, causing him to miss the return leg.
Ultimately, Real Madrid exited the tournament.
Currently, the "Royal Club" is 9 points behind Barcelona in the Spanish championship. Having also been eliminated from the Copa del Rey, there is a risk that the season will end without a trophy for the team.
