the essential
Established on the Lens field in place of captain Vincent Sierro, who was withdrawn, the neo-pro Jaydee Canvot (18 years old) amazed the observers. And the Violets won 1-0 for the sixteenth day of Ligue 1. Focus on a Pitchoun, in whom the club and the coach believe a lot since his arrival on the banks of the Garonne in 2021.
Same town of origin in the Paris suburbs, Argenteuil, as his illustrious elder and ex-Toulouse resident Logan Costa, with whom he is very close – Canvot was born there on July 29, 2006, Costa started there; same springboard club of AS Bondy, in the “9.3”, that a certain Mbappé – Canvot is from the generation of the star’s brother, Ethan, also called up to Bleuets under 19; same great compasses as a certain Patrick Vieira – the analogy, photos and tweet from the TFC, is striking – or, more Téfécistically, as Ibrahim Sangaré.

From then on, we understand the friendly hug (a small gesture is better, sometimes, than a long speech) on Sunday afternoon, at 4:54 p.m. precisely, at the final whistle releasing the victorious Violets at Bollaert, from the Catalan coach Carles Martinez Novell to his new protégé launched into the deep end of the L1. Formerly of La Masia at Barça, the Tef technician is naturally not his first attempt: it was Novell who had already launched Restes, Lahmadi and Edjouma as a pro team yesterday; he is also the one who tested Messali life-size this season and then, the youngest, at 1m88, a beautiful baby as they say, weighing 79kg. Canvot, first name Jaydee.
“Wow, what a player!”
A choice imposed by circumstances (captain’s injury), but not only that. “It’s not rocket science: when I arrived at the club, I was still an assistant (early December 2022, editor’s note), when I saw him at the Training Center, I said to myself: “Wow, what a player! ” exclaims Martinez Novell And like our other young people, he has settled into a process of improvement. Result: today (Sunday) he had an incredible match. Nothing surprisingly, I remember this summer: the first day of the offseason, I felt that he was ready, I saw that he would be competitive…”

It was July and the big guy was walking against the RAF, Pau, in Rome and in Spain, with an anonymous No. 38 on his back and 198 minutes on the clock. Since then, and before his baptism of fire with the Sang et Or, Canvot will have appeared twice with the front page (plus a quarter of an hour in the Cup): 4 minutes in Brest (J5), a small one at the Parc (J12). Without forgetting three benches against Le Havre (J4), Lille (J7) and in front of Angers (J8).

“Above all, Jaydee, we wish you the best; believe in yourself because we all believe in you. All the best, brother!” Wearing the armband against the RCL, Gabriel Suazo did not think he would say so well during his rallying cry before the start of the match, in the Artesian locker room. On arrival, the stats sheet of the somewhat expansive “JC” (we still see him celebrating the 3 points) speaks for itself with 7 balls scraped at the opposing feet.

However, reducing it to defensive tasks would be a (serious) error. “Jaydee is strong on man but he also has the art of projecting himself because he is fast,” explains Mickaël Delestrez, technical director of the Center and in charge of the national U19s, on the club website. In short, it’s a profile modern. Someone determined, powerful, able to play in central defense as well.”

Covered and “locked” on a long-term lease by Téfécé, Jaydee Canvot intends to give back his training club joined in U16, season 2021-2022 – from Bondy and INF Clairefontaine. “All the sacrifices I have made since I was a child, he said at the time of his signing, have paid off. I worked for that, and it also proves that Toulouse trusts its Pitchouns. There is a lot of competition; but it’s up to me to stay as I am and play my game: aggressive, athletic and technical. I will do everything to continue to make a good impression.” For now, it’s a win all round!
