Camavinga hails Kylian Mbappé days after Real signing: ‘People do not see his qualities…’

Eduardo Camavinga, the talented French midfielder for Real Madrid, recently addressed the media during a press conference at the French national team’s training camp in Clairefontaine. As Les Bleus continue their preparations for Euro 2024 in Germany, Camavinga shared his thoughts on his club and international experiences.

Preparing for Euro 2024

With the European Championship approaching, Didier Deschamps’ squad is in fine form. Following a convincing 3-0 victory over Luxembourg, France is set to face Canada in a friendly this Sunday, ahead of their opening match against Austria on June 17.

 Commitment to Real Madrid

Camavinga expressed his acceptance of Real Madrid’s decisions, even if it means missing out on opportunities like the Olympic Games. “It would have been an honor to play in the Olympic Games, but it is not possible. We must accept Real Madrid’s choice and move forward,” he stated, demonstrating his dedication to his club.

Staying Grounded Despite Success

Despite his impressive achievements, including two Champions League titles with Real Madrid, Camavinga remains humble. “I don’t think my status will change because I have won two Champions Leagues. You shouldn’t change. When you win trophies, you gain extra confidence. You always feel good mentally, and then your performance follows,” he reflected, emphasizing the importance of maintaining confidence and consistency.

 Praise for Kylian Mbappé

Camavinga highlighted his compatriot and clubmate Kylian Mbappé’s often-overlooked playmaking abilities. “People don’t necessarily see Mbappé’s qualities as a passer. I don’t know what Ancelotti thinks, but he will make the right decisions to align everyone. We will see next season,” Camavinga remarked, showing his trust in Real Madrid’s tactical decisions and Mbappé’s versatility.

 Addressing Midfield Competition

Responding to questions about his role in the French national team, particularly in the midfield, Camavinga defended his contributions. “I haven’t had any important games with Les Bleus in midfield? Since when? I was terrible for a year? I’m not frustrated. If I’m here, it’s because I have qualities in midfield. If you haven’t seen it, it’s you… There is a lot of competition, and you have to accept it. I have played some good games in midfield with the French team,” he asserted, underscoring his confidence in his abilities and readiness to compete for his position.

Looking Ahead

As Camavinga continues to develop as a key player for both Real Madrid and the French national team, his grounded perspective and unwavering commitment bode well for his future. Fans and teammates alike look forward to seeing his impact on the field as he strives to achieve even greater success in the coming seasons.
