Apparently Vozinha’s unexpected air doesn’t just make him an insurmountable goalkeeper, but also a tough prospect to track down in the transfer market.
The 40-year-old free agent rose to fame practically overnight after leading World Cup debutant Cabo Verde—an African island nation of just 500,000 people—to a scoreless draw against European powerhouse and eventual tournament winner Spain. Vozinha, who now has nearly 30 million Instagram followers, made seven heroic saves to silence the Spaniards, before again achieving the impossible, making eights saves to force Lionel Messi’s Argentina into extra time in the round of 32 and nearly toppling the eventual tournament runner-up.
