Recently, Eduardo Camavinga has shown under Carlo Ancelotti his ability to play dynamically in multiple positions.
The promising young Frenchman, who arrived in Madrid in the summer, seems to be about to shine at Los Blancos.
Ancelotti has lately attempted to generate more fluidity and dynamism in his team through the energetic 20-year-old midfielder.
He is known for versatility, tempo control, and tactical awareness, which makes him an exciting player to watch.
The Italian coach has given a definitive answer after being quizzed on Camavingas future: We will not let Camavinga leave, hes untouchable like Modric and Kroos.
This tactical analysis, in the form of a team scout report, delves into the nuances of Camavingas stats, and how he fits in Ancelottis tactics as a defensive midfielder or even a fullback with Real Madrid.
A fluidity Generator
Firstly, Camavinga has played extensively as an active number 6 in a 4-3-3 or as part of a double-pivot in a 3-4-3 or a 4-2-3-1, or being straightly a number 8, generating momentum in the midfield with his agility.
He forces transitions and advances the play more than being the usual version of a box-to-box player.
Recently, Ancelotti decided to increase his reliance on him, either in the middle or to as the left-back during Ferland Mendy’s absence.
Camavingas presence alongside Luka Modric and Toni Kroos strongly supports dynamic control through the system, which allows individuality to glow more than sticking to a strict style of play.
Thus, usually, they continuously move, creating spaces and attacking them dynamically instead of occupying these spaces pre-determinedly.
He usually operates the holding midfielder role in a dynamic way.
Unlike Casemiro, he can drop down the field to build up if the opposition decides to press high.
His flexibility and agility allow him to be a moment ahead of the opponent, and he can turn quickly in a fraction of a second.
Below, against Barcelona, while Luka Modric and Toni Kroos dynamically occupy the fullback zones, Camavinga recognises the generated space well and moves to it to receive the ball.
Then, using his pressing resistance and decisive close control, he turns and changes his body orientation, smoothly switching the ball to the weak side.
