If some still doubted his talent, Eduardo Camavinga quickly got everyone to agree. Called for the first time in his young career for the France A team this Thursday by Didier Deschamps, the Stade Rennes midfielder, only 17 years old, quickly celebrated his call with a splendid goal in Ligue 1, this Saturday against Montpellier (2-1, second day of the Championship).

- Eduardo Camavinga (@ ecama10) August 27, 2020First goal in Ligue 1 this season
After a well-felt one-two with his left side Faitout Maouassa, the neo-international brilliantly eliminated Pedro Mendes with a step-over followed by a hook in the opposing area. He completed the job with an unstoppable left cross strike, which left goalkeeper Jonas Omlin helpless, to score his first Ligue 1 goal this season.
Summoned following the defection of Paul Pogba, who tested positive for Covid-19, the precocious left-hander, who would be the first minor player to obtain a selection since World War II according to statistician Opta in the event of entry into play, could force the hand to the coach. Who could offer him his first cape with the greats, against Sweden (Saturday September 5) or Croatia (Tuesday September 8), as part of the first two days of the League of Nations.
