Free of any contract since his departure from Villareal this summer, Étienne Capoue has taken up basketball. The former Watford player has signed, to everyone’s surprise, with a basketball club that plays in the Spanish fourth division, Giticsa Jovens L’Eliana, with whom he played his first official 3a FEB match in Liga Valenciana. Abandoning the round ball for the orange ball, the former Toulousain was only supposed to join the team to keep fit before finding a club. The situation therefore seems to have changed.
Still without a solution in football at the end of September, the Frenchman played his first minutes as a basketball player with the Valencian club this weekend. According to Relevothe former French international (7 caps, 1 goal) even scored his first points, five to be precise, in a league that would correspond to the federal level in France. Passionate about basketball since childhood, the 36-year-old midfielder – when he exercises his profession as a footballer – is therefore living a waking dream today. Before why not, finding a club in football in the future.
