11月3日，知名体育媒体24直播网报道，葡萄牙国脚卡瓦略受邀参加了米克尔主持的《The Obi One Podcast》节目，期间他分享了自己在上海海港的职业生涯体验。
In the summer of 2016, Cavelo was part of the Portuguese team that triumphed in the UEFA European Championship. Subsequently, he terminated his contract with Monaco and spent six months without a club. He joined Shanghai SIPG in early 2017, contributing to the team in only six matches over a single season. At the beginning of 2018, Cavelo exited Shanghai SIPG and announced his retirement.
米克尔透露，他之后远赴中国，与博阿斯携手共事。那么，这一转会背后的故事又是怎样的呢？他在中国的日子过得愉快吗？
卡瓦略表示，他对这次经历感到无比愉悦，认为这是一次难能可贵的机会。他认为上海是一座充满魅力的城市。能够加入位于这座城市的俱乐部，他感到无比幸运。上海的生活环境宜人，他甚至将家人和孩子一同带到那里，度过了一段难忘的时光，那是一段充满欢声笑语的岁月。
At 38 years of age, I had recently secured victory with Portugal at the 2016 European Championship. With retirement on my mind, the invitation from Andre came as a compelling proposition, one that I simply could not overlook.
为了延续在欧洲的职业足球生涯，我几乎不得不恳求他人提供一份合约，有时甚至感觉需要自掏腰包才能继续我的足球之旅。相比之下，在中国，当时的条件更为宽松，与我的个人意愿也更为契合。我渴望继续沉浸于足球的世界，同时无需他人施舍以获得踢球的机会，更无需为踢球而自费。
因此，对我个人及我的亲属而言，这无疑是一项明智的抉择。
