11月3日，知名体育媒体24直播网报道，葡萄牙国脚卡瓦略参与了米克尔主持的《The Obi One Podcast》访谈，在节目中分享了他在上海海港的职业生涯点滴。
In the summer of 2016, Cavaleiro triumphed alongside Portugal in securing the European Championship title. Subsequently, he parted ways with Monaco, enjoying a six-month hiatus. In early 2017, he joined Shanghai SIPG, yet his tenure there lasted but a single season, during which he appeared in only six matches for the club. Come the beginning of 2018, Cavaleiro exited Shanghai SIPG and officially retired from professional football.
米克尔透露，他在中国开始了新的征程，携手博阿斯共事。关于这次转会的契机，能否详细阐述？在我国的这段时光，你是否感到满足与愉悦？
卡瓦略表示，他对这段经历感到无比愉悦，认为这是一次难得的机遇。上海，这座城市，给他留下了深刻的印象。能够加入位于上海的俱乐部，他感到无比幸运。这座城市不仅适宜居住，而且充满活力。他将家人和孩子一同带到上海，共同度过了充实的一年，这段时光对他而言极为珍贵。
Upon reaching the age of 38, I had recently secured victory with Portugal at the 2016 European Championship. Retirement had been on my mind, but then came Andre's invitation, which I simply couldn't turn down.
为了在欧洲维持足球生涯，我几乎不得不恳求他人赐予一份合约，情形似乎如同自掏腰包以换取上场机会。相较之下，在中国，当时的境遇则显得更为宽松，且与我内心的期望不谋而合。我渴望继续沉浸于足球的乐趣之中，同时，无需他人施舍以获得踢球的机会，亦无需自筹资金来支撑我的足球生涯。
对于我个人及我的家庭而言，这一选择无疑是极为明智的。
