Vozinha had everything ready to travel to Chile. But before boarding that plane, there was someone he could not leave behind without making arrangements for: Akyra, his little dog. 🐾
The 40-year-old Cape Verdean goalkeeper first traveled from Cape Verde to Lisboa to sign his visa at the Chilean embassy. But instead of boarding a direct flight to Colo-Colo, he returned to Chaves, the Portuguese city where he lived. His home was still there, along with his electricity and water contracts… and Akyra, who had been left in someone else’s care while he sorted out his future as a footballer.
“That is why I asked the president for a few days. I had to sort out my personal matters”, Vozinha said, without dramatizing, like someone explaining the most natural thing in the world. 😍 Sometimes love for a new club has to wait a few more days for the love that has always been there.
