“He’s like my brother, if you’re better than me you play, there’s no problem,” Camavinga assured at RMC
“Of course, Benzema can get the second Ballon d’Or,” added the Frenchman.
There has been much speculation about a controversy between two of the Frenchmen from Real Madrid, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaménias a result of both playing in the same position and having to move Camavinga to the left back to stay on the team.
In an interview with RMC Radio, Camavinga denied that there is a feud between them. Quite the opposite. “As he said, he is like my brother. We are together all the time, we laugh a lot. And when we play together we try to find each other. We don’t talk much about competition or anything. As I usually say “if you’re better than me you play. There’s no problem with that, I’m not going to blame you because you play”he assured about his compatriot.
“We tried to find each other”
And in this regard, he added: “We don’t necessarily have competition. We don’t look down on each other if there’s someone playing in the other’s place. We hope the other has a good game. It’s you who has to get to work if you want to play, so We are not going to get in the way and I think he also sees it as I do. He is the first to come to see me and say good game when I play and so do I”.
Camavinga also referred to another French teammate, and whom he practically reveres. About Karim Benzema, he recalled: “He helped me and took me under his wing when I arrived. I didn’t speak Spanish well and I was trying to get by with the little English I knew at the time, I like to talk to him and find out what he thinks of my shots,” he revealed.
Karim’s help
And he has no doubt that one day he can get a second Ballon d’Or. “Of course! Nothing is impossible and if he keeps doing the performances he is doing at the moment, of course he can go find another one.” Camavinga concluded.
