Eduardo Camavanta arrives at an important crossroads in his career in Blues. At 23, the time is no longer for promises, Madrid must become a certainty. As surprising as it may seem, it is today one of the oldest of this tricolor group, even if its figures are still not those of a dinosaur of the locker room (23 selections). Among the field circles summoned by Didier Deschamps this month, only Adrien Rabiot began rather than him among the Blues (in 2016, while Camavonga arrived in 2020).
“”If he has to take the lead and become a holder with his seniority? It is his ambition, in his club first, then in selection. It is true that he has been there since September 5, 2020 (He had marked for his first selection during a 7-1 victory against Ukraine). Each time since Euro 2021, I called it unless it was injuredrecalls Didier Deschamps. But he has only 26 selections when he has often been present. There is strong competition but it is always one of the players I call when available. Let him have this ambition: yes. The brake was the rehearsal of injuries. ”
He must take advantage of the suspension of Tchouameni
It was still his muscular concerns that forced him to give up the last two rallies in March, then in the Final Four of the League of Nations in June. A period that coincided with the emergence of Manu Koné, which has become almost essential on his latest outings in the France team. Today, competition is increased, but with the absence of Aurélien Tchouameni, suspended during this gathering after his red received against Iceland, Camavong must show that he can do better than exist in this group. Its versatility remains a major asset, even if it has never displayed overflowing enthusiasm when it was necessary to help out at the post of left side.
“He had to do it (Play in the rear-left) And he did it very well but he feels midfielderDeschamps expressed Thursday. Today his situation is more complicated because of the competition but also because it was not spared from injuries. Its versatility has always been an additional asset and it did us a good service, especially during the World Cup in Qatar. But I know very well that it does not give him a smile even if he will do it as best as possible. ” Under the orders of Xabi Alonso, his efforts quickly ended up paying. On Tuesday, he offered himself the first goal of his career in the Champions League, barely two minutes after entering the game. It remains to transform this momentum into selection, less than eight months from the World Cup.
