On the left side, inside, as a pivot… Ancelotti plays with Camavinga like a trickster who nimbly moves his ball to deceive his victim. The Real Madrid coach takes advantage of the versatility of the Cabinda player as a surprise factor against his rival. City already knows how the Frenchman spends them. He suffered his impetus in the center of the field a year ago in the comeback that gave Madrid the ticket to Paris and, on Tuesday, the first blow of the tie came with an incursion from the Frenchman, who was detaching himself from the band and approaching the area until Vinicius is enabled.
“Sometimes we try to remove him from the band. As an interior, it can create problems, especially in the second parts. He played a lot on the inside. It is a guarantee in every way, also from the side”, confessed Ancelotti after a match in which Camavinga ended up precisely as an interior after the change from Nacho to Modric.
Against City, the Frenchman was the leader of Madrid in interventions (78), arrivals in the last third of the rival field (11), duels won (9), recoveries (7), tackles won (5), fouls suffered (4) and chances created (3). The pass that failed at the origin of the goal citizen it was his only unfortunate mole in a brilliant match.
The youngest of the squad (he is still 20 years old) is being the revelation of the white season. Camavinga has conquered ownership with an explosion as a left back that started in the World Cup (although Ancelotti had already placed him in that position last season against Sheriff) and where he has found continuity, consolidating himself in that position in the big games of this decisive season finale.
Camavinga is the Real Madrid player who has participated in the most matches this season: He has played 53 of the 54 games that the white team has played (He has only lost the last one in the League, against Real, due to suspension) and he has started 34 of them.
In the return, Ancelotti can once again take advantage of his versatility. The return of Militao and the good game of Alaba and Rüdiger will raise Carletto the option of keeping the three in defense and looking for Camavinga a place in the center of the field. The surprise is in the hands of the Italian.
