When a person believes in himself, you find him standing in
front of the impossible to adapt him to enable him to achieve his goals, but
when all the circumstances are difficult, starting from the moment of your
birth in a refugee camp in the jungles of Africa, all the way to the emigration
of your parents and then your entire house burning at an early age, all these
things make your task to achieve your dream difficult. Difficult and requires a
solid will closer to a miracle, and this is what Eduardo Camavinga, the star of
Real Madrid and the French national team, did, who has become one of the most
prominent soccer players today.
The child, who was born in refugee camps in Angola, did not
expect that after 20 years he would be among the best players in the world, and
he would participate with one of the world's strongest teams in the most
important football event, which is the World Cup.
To escape from the hell of war in the Congo, and under the
sound of cannons and fire, a family decided to flee Kinshasa and go to a
refugee camp in the Angolan city of Mekunji, where this city bears the birth of
an outstanding football talent.
Where Eduardo Camavinga, the star of the French national
team and Real Madrid, lived a very difficult childhood since he was born in
Angola on November 10, 2002, to a father and mother from the Congo.
After Eduardo reached the age of two years, his family moved
to France, where they began to live in the “Fougeres” region, to start a new
life that opened the door for him to a new future away from the sounds of fire
and war.
His upbringing and football career
Camavinga started his sports career in an early period of
childhood, where he practiced judo for a while, before giving it up to focus
only on football.
In 2013, the Camavinga family's home burned down, destroying
most of the family's possessions.
Eduardo says that this was the motive that made him practice
football professionally.
And at the age of seven, Eduardo played with the club
Fougères, where he took his first steps in professional football.
And about his start with this team at a young age, Camavinga
says: “When I signed up to join the club, I never realized the need to meet the
coach. Instead, I dashed onto the field and grabbed a ball that was being
played by kids my age.”
He continued: “The efforts made by the children to retrieve
the ball proved to be a failure because I had thrown the ball past and put the
ball over the fence. I lost their match on my first day of training with them.”
With the Fougeres, Eduardo spent four years building the
defensive dynamics that have now become a feature of his game, his ability on
the ball and his unique technical handling of the field admired by teammates
and opposition alike.
Camavinga joined the Rennes Youth Academy at the age of 11,
so that the years would pass and his talent in midfield would show, to sign his
first professional contract on December 14, 2018, at the age of 16 years and
one month.

And at the age of 16, 4 months and 27 days, Camavinga became
the youngest player to play for Rennes' first team.
The young left winger became the youngest player to pass the
50-game mark for a Ligue 1 club at the age of 17.
Camavinga appeared for the first time with the first team of
Rennes during the confrontation with Angers in the French League on April 6,
2019, a meeting that ended in a draw (3-3), and he also became the youngest
player to play for the first team of Rennes at the age of 16 years and 4
months.
His move to Real Madrid is a new historic shift in his
career
Spanish club Real Madrid announced, on August 31, 2021, the
signing of Eduardo Camavinga, midfielder of French club Rennes.
Camavinga's move to Real Madrid is a historic shift in the
career of the French player, who wished to move to the European giants and the
club that won the most Champions League title.
In his first season with the Royals, Camavinga succeeded in
achieving the European Champions League title, the most expensive title for any
player in the old continent, in addition to winning the Spanish League, the
Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup.
His career with the French national team
Camavinga did not obtain French citizenship from a young age
because he was not born there, but he finally obtained it on November 5, 2019,
to then join the French U-21 national team camp and play two matches against
Georgia and Switzerland, as a substitute for the young Arsenal star Matteo Guendouzi,
who was called up to the first team. .
He became the youngest player to play for France, after
breaking the record set by Kylian Mbappe, who made his debut for France at 18
years and three months.
Participation in the 2022 World Cup
Deschamps, coach of the French national team, announced the
list of roosters for the 2022 World Cup, which witnessed the presence of
Camavinga, to be present 20 years after his birth in the refugee camp in the
largest football tournament in the world.
The story of Kamavinga is an inspiring story of challenging
all barriers and limitations to achieve your dream, and overcoming all
difficulties and obstacles of any size.
Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga sent a special
message to Didier Deschamps, after he was included in France's World Cup squad.
The Real Madrid midfielder said, "Hello coach, this is
Eduardo, I would like to thank you for choosing me, I hope to restore this
confidence to you during the World Cup."
