The history of the Cavani a Napoli is destined to continue in the future. All thanks to Lucas, son of Edinson, who just turned 10, signed his first contract as a footballer with the Neapolitan club yesterday in the presence of his mother Maria Soledad and his coach at the Petrarca Football School, Rossano Vettosi.
Nothing new, actually: the Napoli had been meaning to sign up little Lucas for almost a year but had to wait for the signature. Yesterday, then, the big day with the signature on the annual contract in the offices of the Kennedy fields to realize an idea that had been circulating for some time in the minds of the managers of the blue youth sector, whose intention is to carry out long and lasting work with the boy.
His coach tells us about those moments, Rossano Vettosi: “He was very happy”, he revealed. And on the technical characteristics of the child he added: “So far he has played with us as an attacking winger, on both wings, but also in midfield.
It will be his first time on the bigger court, he only has experience on the 5″ and 7″ courts.
“Lucas is a happy child, he lives football with fun. He has one thing that characterizes him: he never wants to lose – explains Vettosi further -. They call it 'garra'.
The weight of the surname? So far he hasn't felt it yet, we'll see if it could change in the future.
I am sure that he will remain the cheerful and smiling boy that I have known over the years. He promised that he will come to visit us often."
Dad Edinson was also very excited, and it couldn't have been otherwise.
Lucas, pen in hand for the signature, immediately wanted to video call the former number 7 of the Azzurri, now a striker for Boca Juniors, and found him very happy and visibly moved in front of the images of the completion of the operation.
