While the PSG locker room was introduced to mate by Ezequiel Lavezzi aka El Pocho in 2015, Edinson Cavani is the footballer we always see with a mate in his hand. Now he's ready to spread his passion for mate to Valencia CF!
A particularly popular (almost sacred...!) infusion in the southern cone of Latin America, mate was once exchanged within the locker room between Cavani, Di Maria , Pastore and Lo Celso . A drink for sharing, it didn't take long for the drink to be adopted by a large part of the locker room, led by Presnel Kimpembe .
More than just a drink, mate conveys values of sharing and friendship, ideal for the integration of new players, as evidenced by Mauro Icardi 's statement after his arrival in Paris:
“I get along well with Edi, we drink mate together, and that’s what’s important.”

But if mate is ideal for promoting exchanges between players within the club, it can also be ideal between players from different clubs. In 2016, the day after his double against OL (2-1), Edinson Cavani took the opportunity to send an invitation to Antoine Griezmann , while the latter was still at Atletico Madrid.
