On Xabi, Tchouameni told Marca: "I'm happy with him, to be honest. It's true that things are going well for me with the coach and that he has new ideas for me and the team, but I think things have gone much better for me since the start of 2025, and I was already feeling good under Carlo.
"In any case, the idea now is to focus on each game, help my teammates, and continue to grow."
Tchouameni also said: " There are differences between Carlo and Xabi, it's normal, each one has his own idea and style, but they are two great coaches."
