Camavinga's off‑season: From Euro semi-finalist to Lakers marksman

The fact that Eduardo Camavinga can control the midfield on a football pitch has been known for some time. The 21-year-old has also demonstrated that hitting three-pointers on a basketball court isn't a big challenge.

Recently, players from Europe's top clubs, especially those who didn't participate in Euro 2024, have had some time off. Even national team players took a break after the season.

Eduardo Camavinga played his last match in the European Championships, the semi-final, on 9 July. Let's recall that the France team lost 2-1 to Spain and missed the chance to claim continental supremacy.

Afterwards, the Real Madrid player went to the United States and visited the training centre of the NBA team Los Angeles Lakers. Eduardo Camavinga is a fan of one of the legendary teams. As he demonstrated, he's not only a fan of watching basketball but also skilled at making shots.

Of course, we don't know how many attempts the Frenchman needed to make a basket, but the details in the short video posted on social media are worth noting. It is technically sound and, above all, accurate.

Eduardo Camavinga had a great time showcasing his basketball skills. He celebrated every successful three-pointer with a smile.

Both Eduardo Camavinga and other top footballers are now focusing on preparing for the start of the club season. Thus, the young French representative must again focus on accurate passes and shots at the goal rather than accurate basketball shots. He can still cheer on the French basketball players competing in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
