A midfielder from the France team had a very lively week.
Arriving at the Château de Clairefontaine a little later than his teammates, alongside Aurélien Tchouaméni and Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga will long remember this end of spring 2024. The former Rennais won the prestigious
Champions League with Real Madrid, for the second time in his career, before joining the France group for a great adventure in Germany: Euro 2024.
“We didn’t sleep much. But it was important to celebrate the victory with the group, explained Eduardo Camavinga at a press conference this Thursday. I haven’t necessarily done anything in particular, but it happens in my head, it’s about living in the present moment. But we had to return to France. We were supposed to arrive Monday evening, but Aurel’ (Aurélien Tchouaméni) had a discussion with the coach and we were able to join them on Tuesday lunchtime. »
Camavinga’s great ambitions
Coming into play in the Blues’ preparation match against Luxembourg (3-0), Eduardo Camavinga showed that he was in good shape. “The coach told me that he didn’t know if he was going to bring me in. So, at the end, as I didn’t want to get heated for nothing, I said into Cyril Moine’s microphone (the physical trainer, who takes care of warming up the substitutes) that I would like to come into play…”.
One thing is certain: the French international has great ambitions with the selection. In a sector where competition is intense with the presence of Aurélien Tchouaméni, Adrien Rabiot, N’Golo Kanté, Youssouf Fofana and Warren Zaire-Emery, Eduardo Camavinga hopes to find a place in the starting lineup. “I want to be a starter and earn as much playing time as possible.”
