  "account": "French midfielder Aurélien Tchouameni of Real Madrid reassured reporters in Rome that his team would give their all in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League match against AS Roma. Tchouameni did not comment on the need for a creative midfielder, stating, “We give it our all with what we’ve got.” He emphasized the importance of teamwork in midfield, saying, “We’re top-class in certain areas, but the most important thing is to work as a team in midfield.”\n\nTchouameni did not dwell on the referees' decisions, acknowledging, “I don’t want to talk about the referees. They try their best, but at the moment we’re very frustrated with the decisions. The most important thing is that we won, and now we need to look ahead.” He highlighted the significance of team spirit and selflessness, noting, “For us, it’s all about what happens on the pitch. You can ask the forwards about their relationships. What I see is that we have a good team spirit and every player tries to help out as much as possible. And now the signing of Diomande helps us a bit more. We’ll give it our all to win trophies.”\n\nRegarding his opinion on the midfield, Tchouameni remained tight-lipped, saying, “I’m not going to talk about that. The most important thing is tomorrow’s match. You can ask the manager or the chairman, but I’m a player. I have my own opinion, but I won’t be discussing that today.” When asked about Roma, Tchouameni admitted, “We know we’re up against a great team. I watch their matches and it’ll be a tough one. It’s an away game, too, but we’ve got the quality to win. We’ll give it our best shot.”\n\nReflecting on the season compared to recent ones, Tchouameni acknowledged, “We know that when we play for Madrid, there’s criticism. The most important thing is to keep a cool head and try to improve as a team. We can certainly do things better, and we’re working to improve day by day. The most important thing is what we win at the end of the season. And we’ll fight for it.” The midfielder also expressed his desire to improve his performance on the pitch, stating, “There are lots of things we can improve on. With the ball at our feet, we certainly haven’t played at our best since the start, but we’re working on it in training and I’m sure we’ll improve.”\n\nTchouameni on his relationship with manager Carlo Ancelotti, “Yes, we’ve spoken and he told me what he wanted, how I can help. Little by little, I’m getting back to my best and regaining my fitness.” On the Ballon d’Or awarded to Kylian Mbappé, Tchouameni expressed his admiration for the French forward, saying, “Kylian deserves it. He’s had an incredible season, and if not Kylian, then other French players like Ousmane and Olise, who’ve done very well.”",
