Mourinho wants to give Camavinga a chance amid Real Madrid midfield shortage

According to AS, Mourinho hopes to give Camavinga a chance to prove himself, given the shortage of midfielders.

Just like a football team's pre-season preparation, fans and media also "warm up" before the season starts, rehearsing their roles for the next ten months or so, which is to criticize and praise. Some are sincere, some are malicious; some judgments are accurate, some analyses are inaccurate. Among professional and amateur fans of this beautiful sport, there are all kinds of people. When the first few games kick off, these games, apart from helping players regain fitness and try out some tactics, don't have much competitive value, but people always seem eager to hype up one player and harshly criticize another. Currently, it's Camavinga's turn to be the latter. Although he's not yet a scapegoat, because things haven't reached that point, this French compatriot has become an easy target.

Regrettably, the midfielder hasn't been able to enjoy a so-called "fresh start." His poor performance in the 2025-26 season, coupled with mistakes and injuries, and that absurd red card in the Champions League in Munich, seem to be affecting not his performance and commitment on the pitch, but how he is viewed by the outside world. I believe he has been trying to prove with enthusiasm that he deserves to stay, but many have already decided he will be sold. The good news is that Mourinho knows he doesn't have enough midfielders and doesn't want to sacrifice him, but rather plans to give him a chance.
