Dismissed by Didier Deschamps for the 2026 World Cup after a difficult season at Real Madrid, Eduardo Camavinga seems to have found color since the start of the new year. Under the orders of José Mourinho, the French midfielder is gradually gaining strength, a dynamic reinforced by his recent rally with the Blues, marked by the first of Zinedine Zidane at the head of the selection. Present on the set of Téléfoot this Sunday morning, Rio Mavuba analyzed the situation of the former Lille player, believing that he had the qualities to establish himself sustainably in the French team, while highlighting the difficulties he still encounters at club.
“Is it his season?” Time will tell. But what is certain is that he is a player who reached the very highest level at the age of 18. Then at Real Madrid, he’s already been there for quite a few seasons and I think everyone is unanimous in saying that we expect more from him. Now, not experiencing a World Cup is very difficult for every player and even more so for him when you are at Real Madrid. But we felt that with the arrival of Zidane, he regained confidence during this internship. He even has a better level. And today, yes, he is a player who can easily apply for an indisputable starting place in the France team. Now there is another problem. There is the club, the club where he is all the time. There, it’s more complicated. Today, he has not yet succeeded, in Mourinho’s mind, in overtaking TchouamĂ©ni. If he disappeared, it was because he had a less interesting level. But today, with what he showed in the French team, it will help him come back well”explained the former French international.
