From Pogba s heir to universal patch, Kamavinga is looking for a position at Real Madrid!

There is a name that attracts special attention in Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso's tactics: Camavenga. This genius midfielder, once hailed by French media as Pogba's heir, seems to be in a state of universal but difficult to have an exclusive position after joining Real Madrid for four years. In the words of Marco Ruiz, a reporter from Ass, he is now the Swiss army knife in Real Madrid, with many functions, but where is the main sword?

Recalling in 2021, Real Madrid spent 45 million euros to sign the 18-year-old supernova, and what he valued was his amazing physical fitness, comprehensive skills and maturity beyond his age. He made his debut in Ligue 1 at the age of 16 and is still a legend. At that time, Kamavenga had a bright future.

However, the journey at Real Madrid has not been smooth sailing. Frequent minor injuries interrupted his growth rhythm, especially in the critical season. Several injuries made him miss many important games, including the running-in period of the Club World Cup after Alonso took office. More importantly, under Ancelotti's command, Camavenga gradually became a firefighter: the left back lacks people? He tops it! Need rotation in the midfield? He tops it! Although he has also performed well in the left-back position where he is a temporary cameo (such as successfully freezing the opponent's winger), this "universal oil" attribute has somewhat blurred his core positioning - where is he best at playing? What about the result of

? When he returned to his familiar midfield position, both the direct contribution on the offensive end (goals, assists) and the dominance on the defensive end (such as steals) seemed to have declined compared to his peak. Data website shows that his net worth has also fallen from a high of nearly 100 million euros to around 60 million euros.

Now, the problem is in Alonso's hands. According to the Ass newspaper, Alonso attaches great importance to Kamavenga and regards him as a "wild card" that can change the situation. The new coach's plan is clear: I hope Kamavenga can return to the position he is most familiar with and most likely to shine - the midfield center. Whether it is playing the "inside" in Alonso's preferred 4-3-3 formation (similar to the B2B midfielder), or a possible 4-4-2 formation to partner with Chu Ameni to a double-center forward, Kamavenga's technology and coverage ability are all required by Alonso's tactical system.

Of course, Kamavenga's versatility is still a valuable asset. During the long season, he may still be the emergency candidate for the left back and even to drag the midfield under specific tactics. But what Alonso and the club hope to see more is that the 22-year-old French international can regain his original edge in the core midfield position and prove that he is not just a "patch", but a real core weapon.

Preseason training and warm-up matches are crucial to Kamavenga. He needs to use stable performance and a healthy body to tell Alonso and everyone: this "Swiss Army Knife" is still extremely sharp. Real Madrid's midfield updates continue. Can Camavenga seize the opportunity given by Alonso and become the "Pogba heir" who is highly anticipated? The new season will be announced.
