Real Madrid: Deciphering Camavinga: “He’s a mental monster, he’s not going to sink no matter how much they change him”

Eduardo Camavinga is one of those chosen by the Real Madrid to star in a successful generational change. After a year and a half in white, after signing at the age of 18, its adaptation is still in full process and in full debate after it Charles Ancelotti replaced him again in the two games of the Super Cup at half-time. With these two games, there are already seven times that the coach takes away after the first half. His relationship, however, has not suffered and Carlo continues to believe that the ex of Rennes He will be able to establish himself at Real Madrid.

So do those who know him best. Speaking to MARCAhis last coach at Rennes, Julian Stephan, the coach who discovered him in his hometown, Fougeres, and took him to Rennes when he was barely 10 years old, Mathieu LeScornet, and the journalist from The Parisian from the same city that has followed him since youth, Benjamin Quarez, They are also clear. The three believe that Camavinga It will be much more than a great revulsion, as long as they give it continuity.

Julien Stphan, his last coach before taking the leap

Julien Stphan was the one who made him debut in the Rennes first team only 16 years old and was a key figure when it came to deciding the player for the Real Madrid. After the criticism in this last Super Cup, the son of Deschamps’ second, Guy Stphan, and now without a team, he comes to his defense: “He is only 20 years old… He is not a finished product. He started very young and decided at the age of 18 to go to the best club in the world and it is not easy. He has to compete with the best, with Kroos y Modric, and for the two of them it is difficult to play. It’s with Tchouamni with whom I think he can compete more, and even so he is leaving very good things”.

If you don’t have regularity it will cost you more to grow, with me he played both 5 and 8

To go one step further, Stphan is clear: “It has to have continuity because otherwise it will be more complicated and it will cost more to continue growing. You have to be patient”, comments the coach, who believes that in Madrid he will end up giving more than a midfielder even though Tchouamni is there: “With me he played 5 and 8. He started as a pivot but later he changed because he has the ability to do both. He has no doubts, I know him and he is ambitious and I am sure he sees himself as capable of succeeding at Real Madrid. I think that with Ancelotti, who is the best in the world, he can progress”, he points out.

ambitious and fearless

Benjamin Quarez He is a journalist who is in charge of following Rennes for Le Parisien. He knows Camavinga and his environment since the boy began to stand out in the youth. The setback of the changes at halftime will not diminish the player: “He is a mental monster, very determined. He is fearless and has great self-confidence. He already had a difficult time last year and he overcame it. Ancelotti continues to trust him and I think that now it is more a collective problem than Eduardo’s. In addition, the best midfielder in the world cannot be relieved overnight, “says the journalist.

As the former Rennes coach, Benjamin makes it clear that Camavinga’s career is incredible: “He is the most precocious after Mbapp. Deschamps does not trust young people so easily and if he has taken Eduardo to the World Cup at the age of 20, it is for a reason.. Also, despite not playing in his place because he’s not a left-back, he ended up having a starring role in a World Cup final.”

Benjamin is clear that he has a long way to go: “I think that in this second year he is determined to remove that revulsive sign. He has to be more regular,” says Benjamin, who also believes that he will end up as a pivot: “He likes to have meters because he breaks lines easily. He’s like a cat. At Rennes he did very well out of 8 because he reaches the opposite area well, but I think that at Madrid he feels comfortable as a pivot, in a more permanent position, and he’s not going to collapse.”

The future and best midfield in Europe with Tchouamni

With only 10 years, Matthew Le Scornet watchman of Camavinga both on the pitch and at school until winning the French Cup with him against PSG in 2019 as Julien Stphan’s assistant. He was a kind of tutor and also helped the family so that the boy could travel to Rennes from Fourgres to go to training since his father worked all day and his mother took care of the rest of the family.

“It is true that they have to win regularly, that they have to understand Madrid’s most elaborate and calm game, but it is very difficult for anyone if football falls asleep and the game is flat,” comments the coach, who believes that his pupil has a future in Madrid’s midfield: “I think that the double pivot with Tchouamni is going to be the best midfield in Europe because they are going to complement each other very well. Eduardo is more box to box although I think he can play higher up or pivot”

It is true that he has to adapt to Madrid’s most elaborate game, but if football is flat and boring, it will be very difficult.

Mathiey Le Scornet (the coach who discovered him for Rennes)

Le Scornet is clear that Eduardo is not going to give up: “The exceptional thing is that he never forgets where he comes from, not even when he’s at Real Madrid. From a very young age he has always wanted to learn, share and listen. It will not affect him that Ancelotti changes him so much. At Rennes he already had difficult moments and he came out on top. He went to Madrid because he adores the club and is going to give everything and more to succeed there. I see him getting better and better on the field, doing well at his own and having more and more influence in attack. I’m sure he’s going to keep playing, but it’s not easy because he has the best possible competition.”
