His word is very rare.

It was therefore a surprise to see Eduardo Camavinga land all smiles on Wednesday early afternoon in front of the press, a first in his young career.

Back after an injury that took him away for three weeks from the field, he should regain his place Friday night in the Rennes midfield against the Girondins de Bordeaux.

Meanwhile, the Rennes nugget has been sorely missed by his team, beaten in their last three trips (Sevilla, Chelsea and Paris).

Youngest scorer for the Blues since 1914, the native of Angola also missed the last gathering of the France team of the year.

“Of course it was hard to watch the games at home,” said the young nugget.

But this injury was bad for good, it allowed me to breathe and get back in shape ”.

During his convalescence, Cama did not twiddle his thumbs either since he obtained his driver's license on November 10, exactly on his 18th birthday.

“I had it hands down, I'm a little pilot !, he blurted out, hilarious.

But my parents don't let me drive too much on my own.

Under contract with Stade Rennais until 2022

Faced with journalists, Eduardo Camavinga returned to his dazzling start to his career and the hopes it arouses.

"I know I'm much more expected now, but I'm not going to change my style of play," he said, however acknowledging that his new status "changed" his extra-sporting life.

“I go out a lot less, I hide a bit,” he confessed.

But it was above all a question of his future at Stade Rennais where he is under contract until 2022. Eduardo Camavinga knows that he is being courted by the great European teams, in particular Real Madrid who have been courting him for several months.

"It is a pleasure to receive praise, but I do not want to constantly take the lead with that", he assured, before adding: "For the moment I am from Rennes and we will see the more later ”.

Same story with his trainer.

"He still has a great season to do with us, the season of confirmation," said Julien Stéphan.

We will then discuss it with him at the end of the season and he will make his decision.
