Anthony Gonçalves said goodbye to SM Caen on Saturday evening after a victory against Quevilly-Rouen-Métropole (2-0, 37th day of Ligue 2). Moving farewells. The 2010 player of the decade at Stade Lavallois had the right to a guard of honor on the lawn of the Michel d’Ornano stadium. Questioned by our colleagues from France Bleu Normandie at the end of the meeting, Anthony Gonçalves was delighted with the title of National champion for Stade Lavallois.
“They are champions, they are moving up to Ligue 2. I think there are a lot of similarities between SM Caen and Laval. It’s a club with the same values, a family club as they say. And it’s never pejorative. The rise is a good thing for the club, for the supporters too. I’m really very happy“explains the midfielder.
“It will move”
Will the fans’ idol sign in the coming weeks at the Lavallois stadium? “We don’t know what the future holds and we’ll see. For now, it’s a little too early to speak, but it will move. Whatever happens, I’m not done playing football. In any case, tonight, I’m going to savor it because it’s really magnificent. I’m happy for SM Caen and happy for Stade Lavallois“.
It’s no secret that Stade Lavallois tried to bring Anthony Gonçalves back last season. But the Stade Malherbe de Caen and its president Olivier Pickeu then refused the departure of the experienced midfielder. The deal could be concluded in the coming weeks because the leaders of Stade Lavallois have always maintained contact with the player.
