Nivaldo Batista Santana (born 23 June 1980), known simply as Nivaldo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Israeli club Maccabi Yavne F.C. as a central defender. ==Football career== Born in Feira de Santana, Bahia, Nivaldo started playing with modest Brazilian clubs – he did represent Coritiba Foot Ball Club on two different occasions, but appeared rarely – and moved to Portugal with C.F. Os Belenenses in 2007, being an undisputed starter as the Lisbon team finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Cup, with the defender scoring four goals, partnering future F.C. Porto and Portugal star Rolando in the heart of the back four. Nivaldo joined AS Saint-Étienne for a price of €3 million in the 2007 summer, but appeared rarely in his debut season. The following year he was loaned to Qatari side Umm-Salal Sports Club,〔(Feindouno and Nivaldo off to Qatar )〕 allegedly against his will.〔(Nivaldo, "obligé" d'aller au Qatar? (Nivaldo, "forced" to go to Qatar?) ) 〕 After being released in June 2009 Nivaldo joined Spanish club Real Valladolid, on a one-year contract.〔(El Pucela refuerza su defensa con Nivaldo (Pucela strengthens defence with Nivaldo) ); Valladolid's official website, 6 July 2009 〕 He made his La Liga debut on 30 August in a 0–0 draw at UD Almería, being sent off in the 13th minute.〔(Almeria 0–0 Valladolid ); ESPN Soccernet, 30 August 2009〕 In June 2010, after Valladolid's relegation, Nivaldo changed teams and countries again, signing a two-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv FC of Israel on a free transfer.〔(Visit of two foreign players ); Maccabi's official website, 14 June 2010〕 On 1 August he netted his first goal, in a Toto Cup win against Maccabi Netanya FC; thirteen days later, however, he was sidelined for two months due to a knee injury,〔(Tel Aviv tussle costs Lala and Nivaldo ); UEFA.com, 17 August 2010〕 which forced the club to sign Savo Pavićević as a cover. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nivaldo Batista Santana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
