Eduardo Camavinga was present at the last gathering of the Blues at the beginning of October. The midfielder had playing time and was able to play in his usual position. A change compared to what had happened to him several times in recent years, when Didier Deschamps replaced him as left back due to the absences and injuries of those accustomed to the role. The Real Madrid player expressed his weariness on the subject.
Also used as a left defender when Carlo Ancelotti was Real coach and he was forced to tinker with his last line, Eduardo Camavinga had enough of it. He said it this Sunday as part of an interview with the Téléfoot show. Being in a group and playing no matter what or playing in your position. It is this dilemma that the French international was confronted by the journalist who questioned him.
After a long silence of several seconds and a small sigh, Camavinga still decided. “The most important thing is to help your team. Afterwards, of course you want to help your team in your position. Afterwards, at certain times, you have to know how to keep your back and help the team as much as possible. If you have to play certain positions to help out, yes. After a long time, no. »
Camavinga, midfielder above all
A first focus followed by a second, more precise one.
“Left side? No. Midfielder? Yes. » The former Stade Rennais player was therefore clear: he is tired of being considered a potential left-back in the minds of his coaches.
It remains to be seen what will happen if Didier Deschamps were to ask him to play in this role if a shortage of full-backs reappears for different reasons, for example in the middle of the 2026 World Cup. Eduardo Camavinga hopes in any case to show what he can bring to the Blues and Real Madrid in midfield.
