Israeli left-back Roi Revivo is on the verge of a special reunion in Spanish football as his current team, Elche, prepares to face Celta Vigo. Celta Vigo is the club where his father, Haim Revivo, was a prominent player between 1996 and 2000. Spanish media have highlighted the familial connection ahead of the match, praising Roi Revivo's swift integration into the Elche squad since his late transfer window arrival. The newspaper "Faro de Vigo" noted that Revivo has become an undisputed starter for Elche, contributing two assists in their first win of the season against Espanyol. He is expected to start against Celta Vigo.
The Spanish press has also focused on the Revivo family legacy, with "Faro de Vigo" dedicating an article to the sons of former Celta players. Haim Revivo is remembered as a key figure of Celta's "Euro-Celta" era. The publication nostalgically observed the passage of time, noting that the son of the "talented left-footed player" will now be an opponent to the Vigo team. Like his father, Roi plays on the left side of the field, though in a more defensive role as a full-back.
Roi Revivo told Elche's official media that the match would be "exciting for my father, but not for me." Haim Revivo, who scored 30 goals in 153 appearances for Celta according to the newspaper, is expected to attend the game. "La Voz de Galicia" reported that the elder Revivo believes the match holds special significance for his son, who grew up hearing stories of his father's time at the club. The newspaper also pointed out other player connections between Elche and Celta, but emphasized that Roi's link is familial rather than based on his own playing history with the opponent. For the younger Revivo, this match offers another opportunity to build on his successful start at Elche and justify the trust placed in him by the club.
