For Cape Verde to survive group H with games against Spain and Uruguay, Vozinha will need to make multiple high-stakes saves in every match. He is one of the older starters at this tournament and his calm in heavy-defending phases is exactly the trait Bubista needs from this group.
Strengths
- positional reads on crosses
- command of his box from set pieces
- calm distribution under press
Recent form
Started every meaningful qualifier; the senior voice in the dressing room behind only Mendes.
His nickname Vozinha — literally 'little voice' in Portuguese — was given in his Cape Verdean youth-team days as a joke about how quiet he was. At 38, he is now the loudest figure in the back four.
