Without Toni Kroos, Real Madrid is completely different, lost, and disorganized. Ancelotti is not a positional coach; he doesn't give his players detailed instructions. A lot depends on the understanding of the players in his teams.

Kroos was a coach on the field. He regulated the tempo, moved his companions - with and without the ball; organized the team. Tchouameni and Camavinga do not have the spatial-temporal intelligence to create rhythm and proper ball circulation.

But more than others, Tchouameni suffers. He should have taken the place of a playmaker, such were the hopes of the fans, and he does not live up to them at all. It turned out that he doesn't even have the mentality of a defensive midfielder. Often he behaves irresponsibly. He gets caught in simple walls of opponents, exposes the zone, and remains in the role of a catch-up. He takes unjustified risks, and also loses concentration.
