They asked him the usual question: how he prepares for the pressure of joining a new club, with a different language and demanding fans. 🎙️

Vozinha, the goalkeeper recently introduced at Colo-Colo, did not answer what everyone expected. “For me, there is no pressure in football”, he told the media. And he explained: real pressure is when someone in your family is sick, or when you do not have something to eat on the table. Football, he said, is work, support from the people and the desire to grow day by day.

The goalkeeper also recalled his time at the World Cup, where he faced the best national teams on the planet, and stressed that that was indeed a huge challenge. Now, he said, he is only thinking about working and helping the club achieve its goals. A response that in seconds became the most talked-about phrase of his arrival in Chile. 🇨🇱⚽
