It was certainly not his best game in the Rennes jersey. But he was able to be decisive in the 77th minute, offering the break and victory to his team (2-1). And how ! After a one-two with Maoussa, the midfielder made the Montpellier defense dizzy before crucifying goalkeeper Jonas Omlin with a cross shot.

Julien Stéphan asked him to be more decisive

This is his first achievement at Roazhon Park which gave him a standing ovation upon his release. “He finally scored a goal here. In addition to the left foot because he had scored from the right in Lyon. He must now quickly put a goal with his head, ”smiled Julien Stéphan at the end of the meeting.

The Rennes coach enjoyed all the more as he asked his player on Friday in the pre-match conference to be more decisive. “I think that in the future he must be able to be even more decisive with last passes and goals, because he has this projection in the box. This must materialize in statistics, ”he said.

Make way for the France team now

After having agreed with his coach, Eduardo Camavinga is now preparing to discover life in blue. Monday, he is expected at Clairefontaine for his baptism of fire with the France team. If he comes into play against Sweden on Wednesday or against Croatia three days later, the Rennes midfielder could become the youngest French international of the post-war period. "It may happen early, but sooner or later it would have come," coach Didier Deschamps said Thursday.

In the middle of the world champions, Eduardo Camavinga can count on his partner Steven Nzonzi to integrate well. “He is a young player, complete, who brings both defensively and offensively. And seeing his maturity and volume of play, it's very positive, ”said the French international. With this doublet in the middle, Stade Rennais can in any case dream big this season.
