👵🏽 40 and clubless: granny becomes a star after epic match

👵🏽 40 and clubless: granny becomes a star after epic match Vozinha, Cape Verde’s national team goalkeeper, had an unusual day as he became the biggest name at the World Cup this Monday (15). The 40-year-old veteran made crucial saves and was named man of the match in Cape Verde’s epic draw against powerhouse Spain. A push from Cazé TV and the engagement of Brazilian fans helped him go from 50,000 to more than 6.8 million followers on Instagram by the morning of this Tuesday (16). The number is far higher than Cape Verde’s population (530,000) and has also already surpassed New Zealander Tim Payne, another digital phenomenon of this World Cup who has 5.6 million followers. If he has already become a celebrity on social media, the goalkeeper’s future on the pitch is still uncertain. Last season, he played for Chaves in Portugal’s second division. His contract ends now in June, and he is a free agent. A unanimous favorite in Cape Verde, he has not always been Chaves’ first-choice goalkeeper in recent months. Vozinha played in 19 matches and conceded 23 goals (keeping six clean sheets). According to Transfermarkt, Vozinha is valued at 50,000 euros (less than R$300,000).
