Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha has admitted his life has changed dramatically since his breakout performances at the FIFA World Cup, saying his newfound fame means he can’t do some things anymore.
The 40-year-old became one of the tournament’s surprise stars after producing a string of outstanding performances, beginning with a clean sheet in Cape Verde’s shock goalless draw against Spain.
He followed that with impressive displays against Uruguay and Saudi Arabia before Cape Verde’s historic campaign ended in an extra-time defeat to Argentina in the Round of 32.
His performances turned him into an overnight sensation, with his Instagram following soaring from about 50,000 before the tournament to more than 27 million.
Speaking to CBS News, Vozinha said the attention has transformed his daily life.
