Unexpected! Eduardo Camavinga does what Fede Valverde did and fires up Madridists: 'I want...'

Eduardo Camavinga is back. After several months of inactivity, Real Madrid's number 6 is now at 100%. Against Getafe, the French midfielder started, and everything suggests that he will progressively regain an important role in the white rotation.

His return is great news for Real Madrid. Eduardo Camavinga is one of those players who bring balance, energy, and personality to every action. His physical display, combined with his ability to recover the ball and carry it forward with good judgment, makes him an indispensable profile for Xabi Alonso.

Both the coach and the board fully trust his potential. At the club, they consider Eduardo Camavinga a key piece for the present and the future, someone capable of making a difference in Real Madrid's midfield. In addition, his versatility is a quality highly valued by the coaching staff.

Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga, Real Madrid's wild cards

Camavinga, just like Fede Valverde, can adapt to several roles depending on the team's needs. Both combine strength, speed, and technique, which allows them to perform as interior midfielders, pivots, or even as full-backs. However, that same versatility has sparked a recurring debate about their true preferences.

A few weeks ago, Fede Valverde made some statements that did not go unnoticed. The Uruguayan publicly admitted that he did not like playing as a full-back, although he also stated that he was willing to do it if the team needed him to. His words caused some discomfort among some fans and club members.

Eduardo Camavinga follows Fede Valverde's lead

Well, Eduardo Camavinga has followed the same path. In a recent interview, the Frenchman made it clear that he doesn't feel comfortable playing as a left-back. "You have to know how to help the team as much as possible, and if sometimes you have to play in other positions, that's normal. Then, in the long term, no. Are you going to ask me the left-back question? No, not left-back, in midfield, yes," he said.

His words quickly sparked debate among Madridists. During last season, Eduardo Camavinga earned widespread recognition by playing in that position out of pure necessity, especially after Ferland Mendy's injury. His performance was remarkable, but it was clear that it was not his natural role.

This time, however, his statements come in a different context. Xabi Alonso has tried several systems, including one with three center-backs and two wing-backs, where both Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga could fit on the flanks. The Frenchman's refusal to play there could force the coach to reconsider certain tactical options.

Madridists, divided, are closely watching how the situation develops. Some consider it logical that the player wants to focus on his original role, while others think that at a club like Real Madrid, you have to be willing to adapt to everything.
