Oohh! Eduardoooh! Eduardoooh! Florentino Gazes As Emir's Cries Go Unrequited - Bienvenu Camavinga!

At Rennes he was deployed across all three different positions in 4-3-3 systems depending on who his midfield teammates were and excelled in all three positions. Not just a game here and there, he played all three pretty extensively as far as I’m aware.

Just out of curiosity from my part, in the future it would really interesting to see a 4-3-3 with Camavinga and Fede take up the two centre mid positions and a Xabi Alonso type player take up a deep lying playmaker role behind them.

 

It's a bit cryptic, not a declaration that he prefers to play as a DMC, though it might be an inaccurate translation:
"I like to play ahead of the defence. I also have to adapt to all the styles of play and positions that the coach tells me. I will give everything in the position in which I play. Not that I look like one or the other player. I like to play soccer. I don't know if it is more important to play as a defensive midfielder or later. I like to play in the centre of the field."

 

Hes English, so we’re likely not going to get him in all reality. Plus that adds another 20% to the transfer fee - my guess is that he ends up at United, City or Chelski.

 

Reported exchange between Kiko Casilla and Don Florentino back in 2018 prior to CL final:

Str8 gangsta

 

Cama was awesome today, that's really all there is to it.

 

Camavinga has that special midfielder class, don't know how to describe it but you can usually see it in their touch, the way they fend off the opponent when in possession, and how smooth they look when they do so.

 

His still adapting to the environment and new team, I’d never watched him at Rennes but did read plenty about him and one of his most impressive attributes was his reading of the game and being able to position himself correctly to open play and space for his team mates.

Kids legit.

 

Yeah he’s still adapting to his new team mates, at his age it will always take longer. KCM play a different game to Nzonzi and co.

Hopefully he stays healthy because we’ve got a gem all for €35m!

 

And whatever scrap minutes he gets he gets as a DM.

what was the point of buying him if he was not going to play? When he did play he was out of position and was not set up to play to his strengths, since we don’t press as a team.

 

He's very much in the club's plans but just like in Miguel's case, and Fede earlier, Carlo is the problem.

 

How is Carlo the problem? His hands are tied, he’s got to play the KCM and tactically you can’t change the system to suit the back up players. Inserting camvinga to cover for anyone of those three has not worked. He’s looked out of place, so it’s a self perpetuating problem that he’s not going going to get minutes since he doesn’t look good. Which he needs minutes to develop.

 

Carlo chooses the line up that's how, and no he doesn't have to play KMC,, at least not every game. Not a single soul at the club would be mad at him for playing a player they've banked for the future, it's his awful management of young players that's preventing him from giving the kid minutes.
Camavinga played well when he wasn't stuck playing in a position he shouldn't be in BTW.

 

Yes, I can see how bad 59 minutes in 6 games meant for the youngster. But I am not too worried about Camavinga's minutes right now. He is a teenager on the mighty Real Madrid. He played out of positions a few matches ago and was playing poorly. I do not think Ancelotti should expose him too much pressure when he is not playing well. As I said a few weeks ago, Camavinga is younger than Peter, Marvin Park, Blanco and Arribas. He is only a boy. Playing him is good, but we also need to protect him.

Fede is the one who should rotate with KCM. I have not compared his current minutes from before, but I think he is taking more minutes from KCM and the other midfielders. Ceballos also got some garbage minutes in three of last five La Liga matches.

 

He had such a good start to his career at Real Madrid against Celta/Inter/Valencia etc but since then Carlo has destroyed him.Playing him left back against Sherif,left winger against Espanyol ,not playing him as a CM and sub him of game after game at HT.

I dont agree that he should be protected because he is young...Pedri/Gavi/Nico are playing so well at Barca and Camavinga will be 20 next year this is not young in todays football ....nobody is going to wait for him to became 25 and became a starter then....by that time we will have 5 new midfielders signed....
