From World Cup breakout star to Chilean giant – 40-year-old Vozinha says joining Colo-Colo is the biggest moment of his club career.
What a moment for Vozinha!
The Cape Verde shot-stopper has officially been unveiled by Chilean giants Colo-Colo after completing his switch from Portuguese side Chaves, and he’s not hiding how much it means to him.
As reported by cbinews.tv, the 40-year-old was presented on Tuesday after putting pen to paper for Chile’s most successful club, and he described it as the greatest moment of his club career.
And honestly? You can see why. After becoming one of the surprise stars of the FIFA World Cup with Cape Verde, with those standout performances that had everyone talking, Vozinha revealed he had several offers on the table. But for him, there was only ever one destination.
He told cbinews.tv that joining Colo-Colo has fulfilled a long-held ambition to play for a proper heavyweight club.
World Cup? Done. Now it’s all about Colo-Colo
Reflecting on an incredible few months, Vozinha said the World Cup will always be the greatest achievement of his footballing life. But that chapter is closed. Now, his focus is fully on helping Colo-Colo win.
Why ‘Vozinha’ will stay on his shirt
In a lovely touch, Colo-Colo got special permission from the Chilean football authorities to let him wear “Vozinha” on the back of his shirt instead of his surname.
If you didn’t know, Vozinha means “little granny” in Portuguese. It’s a tribute to his grandparents and the values they instilled in him, and he says it inspires him every single day. He plans to wear it right up until he hangs up his gloves.
When could we see him?
He already got a hero’s welcome when he landed in Santiago on Sunday, trained with his new teammates on Tuesday, and we might not have to wait long to see him in action.
According to cbinews.tv, the Cape Verde international could make his competitive debut as early as this Sunday when Colo-Colo face Unión La Calera.
One to watch this weekend, for sure.
