The young prodigy Eduardo Camavinga, 17, became Tuesday evening the youngest player to wear the jersey of the France team for more than 100 years during the victory against Croatia (4-2), in the League of Nations.
The Rennes midfielder was even excellent for his first selection.
With Eduardo Camavinga, everything is definitely going very, very fast.
The young prodigy from Stade Rennes became at 17 years and 9 months the youngest player to wear the jersey of the France team for more than a century, Tuesday night during the victory against Croatia (4-2) in League of Nations.
Only two players have preceded him in the history of the Blues, at the beginning of the 20th century: Julien Verbrugghe, who became international at 16 years and 10 months in 1906, and Maurice Gastiger who imitated him at 17 years and 4 months in 1914 .
The midfielder is, as with his club, distinguished by his talent and his nerve, not hesitating to project himself several times forward.
"It was pretty crazy"
"It is first of all joy and pride for my family and for all French people," said Camavinga, questioned after the meeting.
"It was rather crazy, I had never been (to Clairefontaine,
editor's note
) except once with the Hopes, I was very well received, they made me feel comfortable and it went well past ", he was satisfied.
"It may be early, but he has a potential that will lead him to be an integral part of this team sooner or later," Didier Deschamps reacted by promising him playing time, a rare thing on the part of the coach.
Even Kylian Mbappé, yet a model of precocity, had not pushed the doors of the France team so early.
If he continues his momentum, Camavinga has everything to stay in Blues.
And for a very long time.
