Vozinha has become a cult hero for his performances with Spain, attracting millions of new followers on social media.

He has made 91 appearances for his country.He is playing football for Chaves club in Portugal’s second division and after his career he has been in Slovakia, Angola, Moldova and Cyprus.

I cried because I grew up with my grandparents after Vozinha’s goalless finish. “Unfortunately, they were not here, they died a few years ago. They were everything to me, they were everything in my life.

“And because of my mother. She couldn’t be here because of the visa. The money you have to pay for the visa, we didn’t manage it in time. I want you to be here.”

At 40 years and 12 days, Vozinha became the oldest player to appear in the country’s first World Cup match.

“I started playing professional football in 2012 when I was 25. It was too late for someone like me,” he added.

“I thought about leaving the national team, but I continued because of this dream.

Cape Verde will face Uruguay on June 21, followed by Saudi Arabia on June 27 in Group H.
