French defender Bastien Meupiyou found the ideal space at Alverca to regain confidence, gain minutes, and assert himself in professional football. After a discreet passage at Wolverhampton, marked by a serious knee injury and the absence of opportunities in the main team, the 20-year-old French central defender shone this season at the service of the Ribatejo emblem, helping the club to secure a quiet 11th place in the League. "It was a great year. It was a new project for me and my goal was to gain playing time. It was my first complete season as a professional and I think it went well", he said. The central had a season that also earned him a nomination for the Golden Boy of the League. Meupiyou highlighted the collective growth of Alverca after a season of affirmation in the Portuguese I Liga, in an interview with the Express and Star newspaper. "It was a great year.
