Vozinha, the goalkeeper of the Cape Verde national team, went to a restaurant after Cape Verde’s World Cup campaign. As he was leaving, the other diners gave him a round of applause for his outstanding performances throughout the tournament. 👏❤️
Hats off to my Vózinha ❤️
This car is for you, Mum.
Everything I am is because of you. Thank you for giving me the world. Love you endlessly 🥹🚗

Messi:
"Honestly, we knew beforehand that the match would be extremely tough. And it's no coincidence that this national team hasn't lost to Spain or Uruguay.
We managed to achieve the hardest part by scoring the first goal, and we thought that would help us impose our playing style and play with greater calm, but exactly the opposite happened.
We lost possession in some periods, retreated a bit to the back, and failed to press them as required, and they exploited their weapon and scored. We knew the task would be complicated.
These are knockout matches, and no one gives you anything for free. Some might underestimate national teams because of their names, but we knew it wouldn't be an easy match at all.
And that's what makes this World Cup special; everything is so close, and all the matches are extremely difficult.
We put in a huge effort as usual, whether we played well or didn't deliver our best levels.
Now the most important thing is to rest, think about the next match, and try to draw the positive aspects from today's encounter."
🎙️ Reporter: “Vozinha, right after the game you went up to Lionel Messi. What did you two talked about?” 🚨
🗣️ Vozinha: “I walked up to him and before I could even get a word out, he pulled me in for a hug 🤗 and said, ‘Great job. You’re an amazing keeper. Your country must be so proud of you.’ 🙌🇨🇻
Hearing that from Leo meant the world to me ❤️🐐.
I told him, ‘Thank you Leo, you’re the GOAT.’ 😄 Then I asked if I could swap shirts with him 👕, and he just smiled and said, ‘Yeah, for sure. I’ll give it to you down in the tunnel.’
Stuff like that you’ll never forget, it stays with you for life ✨🇦🇷”
