After a fantastic debut at the World Cup, which ended in a sensational draw against the champions of Europe - national team Spain (0:0), the national team of Cape Verde is preparing for a new large-scale.
On Monday nights in Miami, the African team will play against the domestic champions of the world - Uruguay. Having won points from the favorites of the tournament, the modest team no less pleased the fans at the Fatherland Party, and won the hearts of neutral fans around the world.
Head coach of Cape Verde Bubista said at Saturday's press conference that his team does not intend to rest on what has been achieved. The head meta is lost unchanged - exiting from the folded Group H until the 1/16 finals.
" We have a big heart, we have resilience. .
We know how good Uruguay is, but we trust our preparation and the Gravians. We are doing everything possible to reach the goal and get through to the next round,” said Bubishta.
Team leader Harry Rodriguez admitted that the draw with the Spaniards was a real shock for the rich, but the team fully deserved this result. Rodriguez has a strong personality, which is written above the title by gravers, a coach and a fierce spirit of fighting on the field..
" Those who were preying on us and pursuing our strategy were simply hostile,” said the footballer.
The match against Uruguay will be especially emotional for the 40-year-old goalkeeper of the Cape Verde national team Vozinya. Previously, the goalkeeper won a large sum through the fact that his mother, Ana Candia Evora, could not be present at the game with Spain due to the high risk of obtaining an American visa.
However, this story contained an unexpected and happy continuation. After a special tribute from Democratic Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries, the Department of Government collected visa fees for women..
Now that Ana Candia has arrived in Miami and will be able to support her son and the entire Cape Verdean team from the stands at the most important match of the tournament.
