Eduardo Camavinga makes honest admission after difficult Real Madrid spell

Eduardo Camavinga makes honest admission after difficult Real Madrid spell Eduardo Camavinga was one of the most promising talents in Europe when Real Madrid bet on him and beat several other big European clubs for his signature, around five years ago. The Frenchman has had some unforgettable nights playing for the Merengue team, but for the last few years, has clearly been far from his best level. The last season was particularly difficult for him. He not only underwhelmed once again with his performances, but was also blamed for his team’s elimination from the Champions League, as his expulsion from the second leg of the quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich clearly turned the tables against his team. The French midfielder was strongly linked with a move away from Real Madrid during the last summer, but decided to stay and take advantage of yet another change in management. He was keen to impress Jose Mourinho, and the Portuguese coach also decided to give him a chance. Camavinga has slowly been gaining his coach’s trust, and his satisfactory performances early in this season also resulted in him being called up by the new France national team coach Zinedine Zidane for the September international break. While away for national duty, Eduardo Camavinga also addressed the press in a press conference. As MARCA has reported, in this appearance, the midfielder took responsibility for his poor form and showed his readiness to work back to reach his best level. The Frenchman admitted that missing out on the World Cup was a big disappointment for him: “Missing the World Cup affected me. This kind of disappointment was something new for me, but the most important thing is to get back up.” The midfielder was clear about which areas he needs to work upon: “Since the beginning of my career, everything has happened very quickly, but Rome wasn’t built in a day and I still have plenty of time ahead of me. “I need to be more focused on the pitch and make fewer mistakes… I need more consistency. I have had some good performances, but I need to be more consistent.” Like Mourinho, Zidane is another great coach with whom Camavinga will now be working , with the French national team, and the Real Madrid midfielder told the press what he expects from the French legend: “I just want him to give me confidence. It is very special to work under him because everyone knows what Zidane means in this country.” Hopefully, these two coaches will be able to bring Eduardo Camavinga not only back to his best level, but also help him take the next step in his career, and become a much more reliable player for both Real Madrid and France.
