Camavinga, it’s crazy!

For his third season at Real Madrid, Eduardo Camavinga is now an essential player for the Merengues, even though he has only just celebrated his… 21st birthday!

In terms of precocity, Eduardo Camavinga is somewhat eclipsed at Real Madrid by Jude Bellingham, the new star of Real Madrid at only 20 years old. And he could be overtaken in a few days by Warren Zaire-Emery… In 2020, “Cama” became the second youngest player in the history of the France team, at 17 years and 128 days, and the new young crack of PSG, summoned by Didier Deschamps, is ready to beat this record.

Nonetheless, Camavinga is a true phenomenon. Friday, he celebrated his 21st birthday! Not content with having revealed himself at Stade Rennais at the age of 16 (he was huge against PSG in August 2019), the one who is also the second youngest scorer in the history of the French selection is now a essential player at Real Madrid. After two first seasons as supersub (in La Liga and especially in the Champions League), the twirling left-hander has a series of tenures.

Carlo Ancelotti has aligned Eduardo Camavinga as a left-back as well as a defensive midfielder and relay midfielder since the start of the season, but the absence of Aurélien Tchouaméni for several weeks now allows “Cama” to demonstrate his value in the position of number 6. The native of Angola is not as much of a defensive captain as Casemiro and Tchouaméni, but he has the technique to enhance his team’s play. Next match this Saturday (9 p.m.) against Valencia.
