Choice of Carlo Ancelotti
The coach’s choice of players for a lineup can often communicate their intentions for the game. For Carlo Ancelotti, it’s clear that Camavinga has become a crucial player for Real Madrid. Despite being the youngest member of the squad, he’s proven to be versatile and capable in different roles such as playing as a pivot, left-back, and game-changer. In fact, in the recent derby game, Ancelotti rotated Modric and Camavinga as if the latter was already a permanent starter.
Camavinga’s progress after World Cup
After the World Cup, Camavinga’s performance has improved significantly. While other players have been rotated, he has managed to secure a starting position due to his consistent performances on the field. Although he initially started due to Tchouameni’s injury, he proved himself to be a valuable asset both as an interior player and a number 5. When it seemed like he would return to the bench, an injury to Mendy provided him with an opportunity to shine as a left-back, a position he had excelled in during the final minutes of the World Cup final.
