Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga spoke to El Pais in an exclusive interview, where he talked about the club, his position, fashion, his home, and a lot of other things. He talked about this season, the changes and what has gone well, and what hasn’t, when he said: “Every year is equally important and I have to prove more. I don’t care if there are people who talk about whether I am or am not the solution, what matters to me is that, at the moment, the team is winning, with problems but we win, and in the end what people look at is the result.”

Camavinga on ‘switching off’

“Before I was crazy about football, I watched everything, but now we have a lot of games: we play, we sleep and we play again, and it is important to switch off.”

Camavinga on facing injury setbacks

“With last year’s injury, which was my first long-term injury, I was angrier and sadder for a long time. With this second one I was also angry, but I immediately thought that I had to put on a smile and do my job. You have to think positive, you know?”

Camavinga on going to Angola

“I will go when a project I am going to do in Angola is ready, because I do not want to arrive empty-handed.”

Camavinga on Rudiger

“He’s the craziest, and he doesn’t do it for the show, he’s like that, you just have to see him.”

Camavinga on Vinicius Jr

“Vini always wants to joke. When he loses: he jokes. When he wins: he jokes even more!”

Camavinga on his bringing up

“The education my parents gave me is the education they had in Africa. Their culture is in my blood.”

Camavinga on the way he leads his life

“I always say that the most important thing is respect. And then, enjoying life and freeing your personality, not lying to yourself and not lying to people. Being real.”
