Who could have imagined it, but when Camavinga announced in GOAL that his preferred position was that of pivot, he sent a message of ambition that eventually came true. The Frenchman seized the opportunity with both hands and, together with Modric and Kroos, took over the starting position in midfield.
In the last three major games for Real Madrid (both against Liverpool and the Clásico de Copa) He has played them from the beginning in that position, that of pivot. Very relevant is the fact that Tchouaméni was available in the last two. The ex from Monaco seemed to have regained his titularity in the last games for Betis and Espanyol, but returned to the bench on Wednesday.
It’s strange what happens to Camavinga and Ancelotti. The Italian emphasized during a press conference that he sees it more as an interior than a pivot and that he can play on the wing in an emergency. However, Camavinga hasn’t played indoors in months and consolidates like a pivot.
Last Tuesday, the Italian praised the Frenchman. “He made obvious mistakes, but he plays so well that you forget them.” Against Liverpool he was again on an excellent level with and without the ballbeing the key in the game’s only goal of the game.
We’ll have to see what happens in the latter part of the season, but bearing in mind that it has been starter in 17 of last 18 games, everything indicates that it will get a lot of fame. Especially in the Champions League, a competition in which he has his best performances since arriving at Real Madrid.
