The 40-year-old goalkeeper of the Cape Verdean national team, Josimar Evora Diash, who became a sensation after his brilliant performance at the World Cup, officially joined in finding the top-ranked Chilean. At the hour of his presentation, the goalkeeper focused not on the statistics or the immediate status of the transfer, but on what this transfer means for him in particular.

The majority of his career was played in the lower divisions and small clubs (like the Portuguese Chaves), but never lowered the level of power. Behind the goalkeeper’s words, after a successful World Championship, there were options for extending his career, but the choice was obvious:.

" Regardless of those that I competed for in the smaller leagues for clubs that were not giants themselves, in the depths of my soul I always told myself that I belonged to a “great club”. Also, if you called “Kolo-Kolo”, there were no doubts. From the first day I knew where I wanted to spend. I have a lot of opinions, but the team has always been a priority,” the newcomer said.

The overarching topic was preserving the legendary game name of Gravets. Chilean football rules strictly require official nicknames to be printed on T-shirts, the pro-Federation has made unprecedented charges for the goalkeeper, allowing the inscription Vozinya (from Portuguese - grandmother) to be removed..

The football player recognized that there is much more for him, but he just said:.

\? I, like I'm a vikorist all my life. Cape Verde has a great history and is now known to the whole world. If my grandmother were alive today, I think she would have written. I am determined to continue vikoryism until the end of my life.? “You respect your Danin,” the goalkeeper said.



Brilliant saves in matches against Spain, Uruguay and Argentina brought Vozin not only worldwide recognition, but also incredible popularity - the number of his subscribers soared to 30 million. However, the star status does not twist the head of the completed graver. He said that having arrived to the Great America, he should prosper and not rest on his laurels:.

" Be here, representing \? yeri.

The World Cup is connected with a great pressure. I’m against the best national teams in the world, and now I just want to work hard and help this team achieve their goals,” concluded Vozinya.
