Cerebrone joins Siddharth Ramsundar (Agarthasid) to discuss Eduardo Camavinga. Could being left at home for the World Cup be the lightbulb moment that helps him look in the mirror and turn his career around? Has he been lazy with the details even outside his injuries? Should Real Madrid sell Tchouameni or Federico Valverde?

Why he joined Real Madrid at the wrong time, why he was frustrated this past season, the chip on his shoulder at the World Cup with France, why Olise fits him so well, and how his parents have managed his career going back to Monaco days. Cerebrone predicts that he will have his best season yet under Mourinho, who will restore hierarchy to the team.
