FOOTBALL Ancelotti runs out of superlatives for Camavinga’s progress at Madrid: “He has engine of a Ferarri”

Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti has spoken big about Eduardo Camavinga’s progress, saying that the makeshift left back “has the engine of a ferrari”.

Camavinga has been a revelation on the left side of Madrid’s defense where he has found consistent gametime, and the Italian tactician described the 20-year-old as “extraordinary” following his performances in that position.

“He is taking advantage of the time he has played as a full-back to improve his boundaries,” Ancelotti said, “he is very young and he has to mature his experience and his tactical knowledge,” he added.

“Technically, he has nothing to learn and, physically, he has the engine of a Ferrari, not like a (Fiat) 500.”

Camavinga, Thibaut Coutois and captain Karim Benzema picked up injuries in the 2-0 win over Celta Vigo and are doubts for the game against Manchester City in the Champions League next week, having sat out the surprise 4-2 defeat away to Girona on Tuesday night.

“Camavinga endured the game, but then the knock bothered him.”

“I think Benzema is not an issue. If he has recovered, he will play against Almeria and Real Sociedad. He is too important for us. In the last few games he has shown a very good level. When he is well, he wants to play.”
