Real Madrid: Zinédine Zidane's advice to Eduardo Camavinga

After being in doubt during the first weeks of the new season, Eduardo Camavinga rediscovered a little smile after being called up by Zinédine Zidane to the France squad. The former Real Madrid coach even left him some advice.

After being left out by Didier Deschamps for the 2026 World Cup, Eduardo Camavinga returned to the France squad under Zinédine Zidane in September. Very comfortable during the latest international break, the Real Madrid midfielder now hopes to build on that.

Zizou's clear message for Camavinga

On Sunday, Téléfoot revealed a sequence in which Eduardo Camavinga shared an insight about his France manager, Zinédine Zidane.

🚨 José Mourinho believes that Eduardo Camavinga is PERFECT for the gameplan he's preparing against Barcelona. José is certain that Camavinga has the PERFECT QUALITIES to try to contain Barcelona's attack. The coach wants to use counter-attacking football at the Camp Nou, and he believes he will need Camavinga's physical strength, dribbling ability, and his ease in breaking lines by carrying the ball. @marca

"The coach? He told me what he expected from me and which position he would like me to play in. He gave me his confidence, and it's up to me to repay him. I am more determined than ever. We know very well what the coach represents for France. Being coached by him is something incredible. I didn't know him before; I had never met him, except once at a Formula 1 Grand Prix. (...) Tactically, it's different from Deschamps. Zidane brings his Spanish touch. He really likes having the ball and pressing. He likes intense football, la pelota, the ball!" the former Rennes player said to Téléfoot.
