Fifth starter from Lille, Ivan Cavalero (29) has been introduced to the media. Passed on the rock, where he had a mixed experience, the Portuguese thirst for revenge.
Trained at Benfica Lisbon where he made all his range, Ivan Cavaliero left the country to join Monaco. On the rock, the Portuguese failed to shine. A short-lived experience that he always thinks about: “I had a mixed situation at Monaco, in the sense that I had a serious back injury that prevented me from expressing myself fully. If I can say so, I would definitely return to the French Championship, to prove all the qualities I can provide to the club.” For information, if he has left-sided inclinations, then he is ready, if necessary, to develop on the right.
A resident of Fulham, he described the various points which persuaded him to cross the Channel, of which there are several: The discussion with Chief Litang was crucial. He highlighted the importance of the human side of Lille, using strong words and a deep exchange of respect. That’s what I liked. After trading with the stock exchange, I knew through the history of the club and winning trophies that this was the right place for me. Some of my friends were here, everyone (Jose, Renato, Rafael Leão) talked to me about the club, they made me want to come. On top of all that, it is true that having a Portuguese coach is a plus, especially when you see what has been achieved over the past year. However, I wanted to highlight Chairman Letang’s speech. He had words that made me want to join this family. »
As a preamble, his profile was deciphered by Olivier Letang, President of LOSC, who was looking for additional expertise: “Ivan is someone we’ve known well for a few years, he’s already had Ligue 1 experience, he has a certain experience in different competitions, especially the Premier League.
