On May 14, Didier Deschamps was present on the set of 8 p.m. on TF1. The coach of the France team revealed the names of the 26 players selected to play in the 2026 World Cup organized this summer by the United States, Canada and Mexico. The absence of Eduardo Camavinga was one of the major pieces of information in this selection. And it continues to generate reactions.
Former teammate of Didier Deschamps, Bixente Lizarazu has since been a consultant and this Sunday, he gave his opinion on the non-selection of the Real Madrid midfielder. “The list is consistent with Didier’s choices (Deschamps). For me, there is an absence, it is (Eduardo) Camavinga, but she is quite logical. Because he is not having a great season, because he was injured, because he was not impactful with the France team, because there is a lot of competition in the middle. »
And the observer continues his analysis on the Téléfoot set. “Didier Deschamps only took five midfielders. There is (Aurélien) Tchouaméni, (Adrien)
Rabiot, (Manu) Koné, (Warren) Zaire-Emery who is having a great season, and (N’Golo) Kante who is there. I have a little regret because it has enormous potential. He is only twenty-three years old. » And Bixente Lizarazu also expresses his disappointment. “I expected a lot more from him. I don’t know what’s going on. »
Eduardo Camavinga invited to “question yourself”
Despite everything, wanting to be confident and positive for the future, the former French side sent a message to Eduardo Camavinga: “It’s up to him to question himself, because he has all the qualities. And even Didier Deschamps had difficulty with this choice and he explained it with a certain pain. » Barring an unexpected circumstance, it is in front of his television screen that the Madrilenian will follow the matches of the French team during the World Cup.
It will then remain for him to make a choice for the rest of his career. While Real Madrid seems more inclined to part with it with a sale this summer in the event of a good offer, Eduardo Camavinga will have to find a way to relaunch and regain good momentum.
