One of the things that are being clearly clear in the composition of the first Madrid -ups of Xabi Alonso It is the presence almost by obligation of Aurelien Tchouameni (25 years), either as a defensive pivot, either as the third centraloccupying the central part, being escorted by Rüdiger and by Huijsen.
