World Cup fame turns into a struggle for Cape Verde's Vozinha
In Chile, Cape Verde hero Vozinha struggles to cope with glare of fame
Josimar Jose Evora Dias, better known as Vozinha, was an instant global sensation after helping Cape Verde reach the last 32 of the 2018 World Cup. However, four months into his newfound stardom, the 40-year-old veteran goalkeeper is finding it difficult to adapt to his celebrity status. After moving to Chile with Cape Verde, Vozinha now plays for Colo Colo, the country's most successful club, but he has struggled to find his place on the team.
With only five appearances out of 14 games played since joining Colo Colo, Vozinha's future at the club remains uncertain. Despite his success on the field, Vozinha has been overwhelmed by fame, losing his privacy and facing constant attention from fans and the media. He even stated that he would choose his previous life over his current one, where he is a global celebrity with millions of Instagram followers.
