Real Madrid’s midfielder, Aurelien Tchouameni, recently made headlines with his extraordinary commitment to both club and country.
After playing a full 90 minutes for France in their match against Germany in Dortmund, he was granted a day off by the club.
However, Tchouameni surprised everyone by returning to training less than 12 hours after the international fixture, gearing up for Real Madrid’s upcoming home game against Real Sociedad.
Real Madrid had a significant contingent of 12 players on international duty, including the likes of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Andriy Lunin, Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo, Joselu, and Tchouameni himself.
These players were entitled to an extra day of rest, but Tchouameni opted to forgo his holiday and return to training, a decision that surprised many at the club.
In the previous night’s match against Germany, Tchouameni exhibited his skill and endurance by playing the entire 90 minutes, even though the game ended in a valiant 2-1 defeat for France.
This taxing international break was further compounded by his prior involvement in another 90-minute clash against Ireland.
Tchouameni’s unwavering dedication to representing his country is evident in his ability to seamlessly transition from the international stage to his club duties with Real Madrid.
