0:00A goalkeeper who a year ago was playing
0:02in the Portuguese Second Division. Last
0:04night, he was sitting among the best
0:06footballers on the planet at the Ballon
0:08d'Or gala. Vozinha, 40 years old. And
0:11to get to that London theater, someone
0:13very big pulled strings in secret,
0:14without photos, without social media,
0:16without saying a word. But that’s not
0:19the only story that didn't make it to
0:21TV. To get to the airport on time,
0:23Vozinha was given an escort that has
0:25outraged half the country, and this
0:27morning newspapers are even receiving
0:28letters from readers who can't believe
0:30it. In the middle of the gala, a star
0:33who was losing everything that same
0:35night stopped for him, and what he did
0:37wasn't caught by any official camera.
0:39And in the goalkeeper rankings, Vozinha
0:41finished ahead of a Barça keeper, a
0:43world champion. And that, as they say,
0:46is quite something. Who escorted him to
0:48the airport? What did Messi do to get
0:50him to London? Who stopped to talk to
0:52him at the gala? And why, after all
0:53this, is his future up in the air? Stay
0:56until the end, because Messi's gesture
0:58concludes a story that started a few
1:00months ago in a Florida hotel, and some
1:02of you already know what I'm talking
1:04about. If you like these stories that
1:06no one tells, hit like and subscribe.
1:09Come on, to understand what happened
1:11last night in London, we must first
1:12understand who Vozinha is and how his
1:14life has changed in just one year. 365
1:16days ago, Chaves, a Portuguese
1:18second-division club, was holding a
1:21tribute for him. The reason: he had
1:23qualified Cape Verde for their first
1:25World Cup. A humble tribute in a small
1:28stadium with a few photos. Nobody
1:30outside of Portugal and Cape Verde
1:32found out. At the start of 2026,
1:35Vozinha was a complete unknown to the
1:37general public, a second-division
1:39goalkeeper who had just turned 40, with
1:41no guaranteed contract for the
1:43following season. His real name is
1:46Josimar José Évora Dias. He was born
1:49in Mindelo, a port city on the island
1:51of São Vicente in Cape Verde. The day
1:53he was born, the whole world was
1:54watching Mexico because Argentina had
1:56just debuted in the '86 World Cup. He
1:59was raised by his grandparents; his
2:01father was doing military service and
2:02his mother worked all day. And as a
2:05child, he wasn't a goalkeeper, he was
2:07an outfield player, but he was the
2:08smallest in his group and played with
2:10older kids who would hit him. He told
2:12FIFA himself. They hit me a lot, and
2:15when I couldn't fight back, I would go
2:17home upset. Then they would mock me and
2:19say I was going to complain to my
2:21grandparents. That’s where the
2:22nickname comes from. "Vozinha" in
2:24Portuguese, little grandma. They called
2:27him that to make fun of him. It was
2:29meant as a humiliation. 40 years later,
2:31that word is on the back of his jersey,
2:34the insult turned into pride. At 16, he
2:37had a growth spurt. A coach in Mindelo
2:40saw he was tall, strong, and had
2:41reflexes, and put him between the
2:43sticks almost by force. That’s where
2:45he found his place. His first
2:46professional contract came at 21, and
2:49from there, a map of soccer no one
2:51looks at. Angola, Moldova, Portugal,
2:53Cyprus, Slovakia. 10 clubs in 20 years,
2:56and he reached the World Cup without a
2:58team. A free agent; his last club was
3:00Chaves. Market value according to
3:03specialized sites: 50,000 euros. 50,000
3:06euros—what a Premier League star
3:08earns in a couple of hours. And Cape
3:10Verde, a country of 500,000 inhabitants
3:13—fewer people than in Zaragoza. And
3:15do you know how the federation found
3:17many of its players? By looking for
3:19them on LinkedIn—children of
3:21immigrants scattered across half of
3:22Europe. With that team and that
3:24goalkeeper, they made it to the World
3:26Cup, and at 25, he wasn't even living
3:28off soccer. He collected trash to earn
3:31a living. He worked as an electrician,
3:33and what kept him going, as he himself
3:35said, was watching an Argentine play:
3:37Messi. Then the World Cup came, and we
3:39already told that story on this channel
3:41. Spain couldn't score on him in 90
3:44minutes: 27 shots, seven saves, Man of
3:46the Match. The tears in the mixed zone
3:49because his mother hadn't been able to
3:51come due to her visa. Uruguay 0-0,
3:53Saudi Arabia a draw, and against
3:55Argentina, extra time, the 3-2 score,
3:58and a one-on-one save against Messi
4:00himself. From 50,000 followers to 20
4:03million in a week. Today, he is the
4:05goalkeeper with the most followers on
4:06the entire planet. But let me remind
4:07you about his mother, because it
4:09explains everything that came after.
4:11She couldn't travel to the United
4:12States for the debut. The visa didn't
4:14arrive, and Vozinha played the game of
4:16his life against Spain without her in
4:18the stands. When it ended, he broke
4:21down in front of the cameras, and it
4:23went viral all over the world. And what
4:25happened? The case reached Washington,
4:27to the office of Hakeem Jeffries, one
4:29of the most important politicians in
4:31the American Congress, and the visa was
4:32approved. His mother was able to see
4:35him live for the rest of the tournament
4:36, and then came the night against
4:37Argentina, the one that changed his
4:39life forever. Messi scored in the 29th
4:42minute: 1-0. Everything seemed under
4:44control, but Cape Verde didn't give up.
4:47Deyvison Duarte equalized, and Vozinha
4:49started saving everything. There was a
4:51play that is still repeated on social
4:53media. Messi one-on-one against him and
4:55Bociña saved it with his leg, the
4:57goalkeeper who looked at Messi and
4:59refused to give up, stopping a
5:00one-on-one against Messi in a World Cup
5:02. Lisandro made it 2-1 in the 93rd
5:04minute. It seemed like the end, but in
5:08extra time Sydney tied it in the 103rd,
5:11until Cuti Romero made it 3-2 in the
5:13111th to seal it. Argentina went
5:15through, but the entire stadium
5:17applauded the opposing goalkeeper. And
5:19what did the Argentinians say at the
5:21end? This is what moved me the most.
5:23Messi, one of the best goals I’ve
5:25seen, talking about the Cape Verde
5:27equalizer. Dibu, who knows what it's
5:29like to be a goalkeeper on a night like
5:31that, said Bociña deserves everything.
5:33And Scaloni said a sentence that sums
5:35it all up. Out of 100 matches, this is
5:37the one that has left the biggest mark
5:39on me. And a stat that hurt many in
5:41that World Cup: Bociña completed six
5:44successful dribbles. Cristiano had zero
5:47; a 40-year-old goalkeeper with more
5:48dribbles than Cristiano Ronaldo. I'll
5:52let you say it in the comments, and
5:54those of you who watched our World Cup
5:56video will remember what happened
5:57afterward, the night at the Tampa hotel
5:59, Messi showing up in the lobby and
6:01that envelope with an offer from Inter
6:03Miami and a clause for his mother. Many
6:06of you have asked us if Messi offered
6:08him to go to Miami, why did he end up
6:10at Colo Colo? I'll tell you because
6:12it's part of this story. According to
6:14those around him, Bociña thought about
6:16it a lot, but after the World Cup, his
6:18life had turned into a circus. Cameras
6:20at his front door, interviews every day
6:23, people following him in the street.
6:26And Miami with Messi was the biggest
6:27stage in the world, even more of a
6:29spotlight. And at 40 years old, he
6:32didn't want that. He wanted to play, be
6:35a starter every week, have peace of
6:37mind, quality of life, and a big club
6:38where people loved him for what he does
6:40between the posts, not for social media
6:42videos. And Colo Colo offered him
6:45exactly that, the biggest club in Chile
6:47, the starting goalkeeper spot, and a
6:49city where he could live without so
6:51much noise. Messi understood it right
6:53away. They say he told him the offer
6:55would always be there and that whatever
6:57he decided, he could count on him.
7:00Remember that phrase well, "he could
7:01count on him," because last night in
7:03London it came true, and in Chile, they
7:05welcomed him like a hero. Hundreds of
7:08fans at the airport, Cape Verde jerseys
7:10mixed in with Colo Colo's, and on the
7:12pitch he responded with saves,
7:13leadership, and a locker room that, by
7:15all accounts, treats him like a father.
7:18The kids from the youth squad ask him
7:19for advice. He’s the first one to
7:22arrive at training and the last to
7:23leave. Exactly what he was looking for:
7:26being a footballer, not a viral video.
7:28And so we arrive at this week. Vozinha
7:30nominated for the Yashin Trophy, the
7:32award for the best goalkeeper in the
7:34world, the only South American on the
7:35list. And look who he shared the list
7:38with. Unai Simón, world champion.
7:41David Raya from Arsenal, Courtois from
7:43Madrid. Emi Martínez, champion in
7:45Qatar. Safonov, Juan García, Bounou,
7:48Mendy, Kobel. Goalkeepers from the
7:50Champions League, the Premier League,
7:52La Liga, with million-dollar contracts,
7:53and in the middle of them all, a 40-
7:55year-old goalkeeper playing in Chile
7:57who a year ago was in the Portuguese
7:59second division. When the list came out
8:01, they couldn't believe it at Colo Colo
8:03, and in Cape Verde, it's said that
8:04people took to the streets to celebrate
8:06as if it were a goal. But being on the
8:09list is one thing, and getting to
8:11London on time is quite another. A
8:13goalkeeper who was playing in the
8:15second division in May—if you had
8:16told him at the start of the year
8:17he’d be at the Ballon d'Or gala, he
8:18would have laughed out loud. Not even
8:20in Captain Tsubasa would they have
8:22dared to go that far, nor would the
8:24best screenwriter have written a movie
8:25like this. But to get to that gala,
8:28Vozinha needed a miracle. And the
8:31miracle began on a Sunday afternoon in
8:33Santiago, Chile: Sunday, Santa Laura
8:35Stadium, Colo Colo against Palestino,
8:37and Vozinha, as almost always, the star
8:39of the match. Saves, security, a 1-1
8:42draw that feels like too little for the
8:44club. The referee blows the final
8:47whistle, and at that moment begins a
8:49race against the clock worthy of a
8:51movie, because the Ballon d'Or gala is
8:53Monday night in London, thousands of
8:55kilometers away, and Vozinha is in a
8:57Santiago stadium with his boots still
8:59on. And do you know how he left Santa
9:02Laura? Escorted by the police. A
9:04Carabineros patrol car with its lights
9:06flashing, clearing a path through the
9:08streets of Santiago to the airport as
9:10if he were a head of state. The images
9:12spread all over Chile, and not everyone
9:15found it amusing. This morning, El
9:18Mercurio, one of the country's most
9:20important newspapers, published a
9:21letter from an indignant reader, and
9:23it’s one for the frames. It goes like
9:27this: "Mr. Editor, how do I go about
9:29getting a police escort to the airport
9:32when I'm in a hurry, just like the Colo
9:34Colo goalkeeper did?" With all the
9:38irony in the world, half of Chile was
9:39on social media saying the same thing:
9:41since when does the police act as a
9:42taxi for a soccer player? But there
9:44were also those who defended him. Many
9:46Chileans said it was a source of
9:47national pride that he was going to
9:49represent the country in London. "If it
9:52were a scientist or an artist, no one
9:54would say anything," one wrote, and
9:56another replied, "Then they should
9:58escort me to work, too.""In my opinion,
10:01it's a nice gesture, but I perfectly
10:02understand anyone stuck in traffic for
10:04two hours who sees the goalkeeper zip
10:06by with sirens." And that is where the
10:08controversy lies. Half the country in
10:10favor, half the country against. And
10:12Brayan Cortés in the middle without
10:14having asked for anything, and the
10:15controversy didn't stop there because
10:17the Colo Colo fans also exploded. But
10:19for another reason; the club posted a
10:21photo of president Aníbal Mosa and
10:23Cortés, sitting on a private jet with
10:25a message saying they were headed to
10:27London. And what did the fans do? They
10:30remembered the famous jinx photo from
10:322020, when Mosa traveled to Brazil to
10:34finalize Scolari's signing as coach.
10:36The photo was taken, and the signing
10:38fell through. Scolari never made it for
10:41the fans. That photo brings bad luck,
10:43and seeing it repeated right after a
10:45draw against Palestino doesn't feel
10:47right at all. One person wrote it
10:49without holding back. "We are worried
10:51about pure nonsense instead of being
10:53focused on the championship." Another
10:55wrote ironically, "Let's get back on
10:57track to the 35th title instead." What
10:59matters? I mean, a police escort
11:02criticized by half the country, a photo
11:03on a jet that the fans see as a jinx,
11:05and a club that isn't where it wants to
11:07be in the league, because that's
11:08another thing. Colo Colo isn't fighting
11:11for what it usually fights for, and
11:13every draw is experienced as a drama in
11:14Santiago. For many fans, the president
11:17should be in the office fixing the
11:19squad, not on a jet on the way to
11:20London. And the question they were
11:23asking on social media was very simple.
11:25If the club doesn't have money to sign
11:26players, where does the money for a
11:28private jet come from? Well, that
11:30question has an answer, and it's one no
11:32one expected. But there was one
11:34question no one was asking, and it's
11:36the key to this whole video. Who paid
11:38for that plane? Because everyone
11:40assumed the club had paid for it, but
11:42according to people close to the player
11:44, the story is different. And here
11:46comes Messi's gesture. According to
11:48those sources, when Messi found out
11:50that Bociña was nominated and had a
11:52game on Sunday in Santiago, he asked
11:54just one thing: would he arrive in
11:56London on time? And when they told him
11:58that with commercial flights it would
12:01be almost impossible, Messi quietly
12:03arranged for the private jet that took
12:06him to Europe. No press release, no
12:08photos, not a single post on his social
12:10media, just how he always does the
12:12things that truly matter to him. Do you
12:14remember the phrase "whatever you
12:16decide, you can count on me"? Well,
12:18there he was, Cuplida, the kid who
12:20collected trash in Cape Verde and
12:22watched Messi's games so he wouldn't
12:25give up, flying to the Ballon d'Or gala
12:27on a plane provided by Messi himself.
12:30If that isn't a movie, someone tell me
12:32what is. And why didn't Messi go to the
12:34gala? He was also nominated, finishing
12:37fifth at 39 years old, but because he
12:39was in his tournament and let's be
12:42honest, Messi has been to 20 galas,
12:44with eight Ballon d'Ors at home. He
12:47knew this year wasn't his turn. He knew
12:49he had no reason to be there. But for
12:51Bociña, that gala was something else.
12:54It was the gala of his life, probably
12:56the first and the last. And Messi
12:58didn't want him to miss it because of a
13:01flight issue. One didn't go because he
13:03didn't need to; the other went because
13:06it was his dream, and the first made
13:08the second's dream possible. And look,
13:10this speaks volumes about Messi at this
13:12stage of his career. 39 years old,
13:14champion of everything, and worried
13:16about a Cape Verdean goalkeeper
13:18arriving at a gala on time. There are
13:20players who spend all day seeking the
13:22spotlight, and then there's this guy,
13:24who does great things when no one is
13:26watching. That is why Argentines love
13:28him the way they do, and why many Cules
13:30still believe there will never be
13:32another like him. And the trip was a
13:34true odyssey from Santiago to Madrid.
13:38And from Madrid, on the jet straight to
13:39London, they landed at Biggin Hill
13:41airport, a few hours before the gala,
13:43with a companion by his side, both
13:44dressed for the gala against the clock.
13:47Making it by the skin of his teeth,
13:49think about it. A 90-minute game on
13:51Sunday. A quick shower, a patrol car.
13:54Airport. More than 12 hours of flight
13:56to Madrid. Jet connection to London.
13:59Hotel, suit, and onto the red carpet.
14:02Hardly any sleep, at 40 years old, and
14:04with his legs still heavy from the
14:06match. Anyone else would have said no,
14:09that it wasn't worth it just to come in
14:11sixth, but Bociña wasn't going to win
14:13anything; he was just going to be there
14:15, and that in itself was his prize. By
14:17the way, if you want to follow
14:19everything coming out of the gala,
14:20I’m covering it on Twitter. The link
14:23is in the description because the best
14:24part of the night was still to come,
14:26and it happened on the red carpet and
14:28inside the theater. Monday night,
14:30London Palladium, Bociña steps out of
14:32the car in his suit. And before going
14:34in, what does he do? He goes over to
14:36the kids. He starts signing autographs
14:39for the youngsters waiting behind the
14:40barriers, one by one, without rushing.
14:44While others walked right past in their
14:46sunglasses, the 40-year-old goalkeeper,
14:48who two decades ago was picking up
14:49trash, stopped for every child, and on
14:51the red carpet, when they asked him how
14:53he was, he replied calmly like this. I
14:56think it’s a great honor to be here.
14:58Congratulations to the other
14:59goalkeepers. I didn't expect it, but
15:01I’m happy to be here. I didn't expect
15:03it. A guy who a year ago was playing in
15:06the second division saying that on the
15:08Ballon d'Or red carpet, and when asked
15:10if a Spanish goalkeeper could win the
15:11award since there were three on the
15:13list, he was just as humble. I think so
15:16, but Courtois and other great
15:18goalkeepers are there. May the best man
15:20win. Beside him was Aníbal Mosa, the
15:22president of Colo-Colo, who couldn't
15:24believe it; he said everyone stopped
15:25them when they saw the club's badge.
15:28Everyone on the red carpet knew
15:30Colo-Colo, even Harry Kane. That’s
15:32what Mosa said. And that people would
15:34say to them, "Oh, Colo-Colo, the
15:36greatest in Chile." And he even gave
15:38Harry Kane a pin with the Colo-Colo
15:40crest. The man who was going to win the
15:42Ballon d'Or. That same night, he went
15:44home with the Colo-Colo crest in his
15:45pocket. And the international press
15:47also took notice of him. Several
15:49English media outlets dedicated entire
15:50pieces to him during the gala. One
15:52phrase was repeated in almost all of
15:53them. His journey continues to inspire,
15:56and for good reason, because among so
15:58many 80-million-dollar players, the one
16:00who received the most affection on the
16:01red carpet was the 50,000-euro
16:03goalkeeper, and then inside the theater
16:05, the photos that didn't appear on any
16:07television. Bociña and Mosa took
16:09selfies with half the history of
16:11football. Luís Figo, Fabio Capello,
16:13Patrick Kluivert, Mikel Arteta, Bukayo
16:16Saka, Amad Diallo, Rodri, and Harry
16:18Kane, the man who would be the Ballon
16:21d'Or winner that night. But there was
16:23one photo that caught my attention more
16:25than all the others, and it’s the
16:26second gesture of this story. Lamin,
16:28just think about Lamin that night. He
16:31had known for a week that he wasn't
16:33going to win the Ballon d'Or. Word is,
16:36even Laporta had to meet with him to
16:38lift his spirits. That night would end
16:41with his eyes shining as he watched the
16:43award go to Kane and saw Mbappé place
16:45ahead of him. And yet, in the middle of
16:48the gala, the 19-year-old kid stopped
16:50with Vozinha and they took photo after
16:53photo. The world champion, the best
16:56young player on the planet, taking
16:57selfies with the 40-year-old goalkeeper
16:59who blocked seven shots against Spain
17:01in the World Cup. Because keep in mind,
17:04Lamin was in that Spain versus Cape
17:05Verde match, he came on in the second
17:07half and couldn't score on him. No one
17:10could. According to those who were
17:12nearby, Lamin was the one who
17:13approached first, gave him a hug, and
17:15laughed, saying he still hadn't
17:17forgiven him for that match. And
17:19Vozinha replied that he hadn't
17:20forgotten the dribbles he had pulled on
17:22him either, that he had made him suffer
17:24like no one else. Two generations, one
17:2619 years old, the other 40, laughing
17:29together on the night they both knew
17:31they were going home empty-handed. And
17:34instead of resentment, affection;
17:35instead of passing by, a photo.
17:37That’s what didn’t make it onto any
17:39TV channel. And now think about the
17:41full picture. Messi wasn't in London,
17:44but the kid Messi held as a baby in
17:46that 2007 charity calendar photo was
17:48the one who stopped with Vozinha. Messi
17:52provided the plane for him to get there
17:54, and the boy from the Messi photo
17:56welcomed him inside. If a screenwriter
17:58wrote this, no one would believe it. If
18:00this story is reaching you, hit the
18:02hype button next to the like. It’s
18:04free and helps the video reach many
18:06more people who need stories like this.
18:08And the final image of the night was
18:10Vozinha sitting in the audience among
18:12the best footballers on the planet. In
18:15his suit with a look of disbelief on
18:16his face, many people shared it on
18:17social media with the same message.
18:19Look at this image. Vozinha sitting
18:21among the best in the world. A year ago
18:24, he was playing in the second division
18:25. It’s never too late to achieve your
18:27dreams, that’s what people were
18:29saying. And they are absolutely right.
18:31And according to those close to him,
18:33when the gala ended and he returned to
18:35the hotel, Vociña did only one thing
18:36before sleeping: call his mother, the
18:38same mother who couldn't see him debut
18:40in the World Cup due to a visa, the
18:41same one who left him with his
18:43grandparents in Mindelo to go to work.
18:46And the first thing he told her was, "
18:48Mom, I was sitting next to the best in
18:49the world; 40 years to be able to say
18:51that sentence." And he said it, but now
18:54comes the part that stings as a Culer,
18:56because we have to talk about the
18:58result, the trophy, and the best
19:00goalkeeper in the world. And this is
19:03how the ranking ended up. First, Unai
19:05Simón, well-deserved, the goalkeeper
19:07for World Champion Spain. Second, David
19:10Raya. Third, Courtois. Fourth, Safonov.
19:13Fifth, Dibu Martínez, sixth, Vociña.
19:16And seventh, Joan García. Yes, Joan
19:19García, the Barça goalkeeper, behind
19:21Vociña, read that again. The starting
19:24goalkeeper of the league behind a
19:26goalkeeper playing in Chile. That's how
19:28football is today. And I tell you this
19:30with all the respect in the world
19:32because this story moves me as much as
19:34it does you, but as a Culer, more than
19:36angry, I am disappointed. Vociña had a
19:39historic World Cup, three or four games
19:41from another planet. Nobody denies that
19:44. But Joan García is a World Champion
19:46with Spain and has been the best
19:47goalkeeper in the league. For me,
19:49better than Unai, better than Oblak,
19:51and better than Courtois throughout the
19:53entire season. An entire season of
19:56saves, games rescued, titles, and they
19:58put him seventh behind a goalkeeper who
20:00had three great games and a great story
20:02. Joan García deserved at least the
20:06top four on his own merits. And look at
20:09the detail. Ahead of him, Safonov and
20:11Dibu, two very good goalkeepers, yes,
20:14but neither had Joan's season. And
20:17Courtois, third, in a year where Madrid
20:19didn't win what they needed to win and
20:21where he wasn't even in the World Cup
20:23final. Meanwhile, the Barça goalkeeper
20:26, the one who lifted the World Cup, is
20:28left out of the top six. Don't tell me
20:31that's a coincidence. When you play for
20:33Barça you have to do double to get
20:35half the recognition. We've seen it
20:37with Lamine, we've seen it with Pedri.
20:39In other years, and now we see it with
20:41Joan García. And what does this tell
20:43us? The same thing we saw with Mbappé
20:45in second ahead of Lamine, this award
20:47is no longer the Golden Ball, it’s
20:49the Golden Marketing. The Golden TikTok
20:51is won by whoever goes most viral, not
20:53by who does the most during the season.
20:55And for the record, it’s not Brayan
20:57Cortés's fault, he didn't vote for
20:59himself. He came, signed autographs,
21:01was humble, and said may the best man
21:03win. The fault lies with those who vote
21:06, a system where 100 journalists vote
21:08without any filter. Where sometimes a
21:10viral video weighs more than an entire
21:12season in the league. And that also
21:14hurts stories like Cortés's, because
21:16now, instead of enjoying it, many
21:18people are wondering if his sixth-place
21:20finish was fair. But wait, because
21:22there is a final twist in this story
21:25that almost no one is telling, and
21:27it’s what surprised me most after all
21:29this—after the police escort, the jet
21:31, the red carpet, the photos with
21:33Lamine and Kane. What awaits Cortés
21:35upon his return to Chile? Well, even he
21:39doesn't know; they asked Aníbal Mosa,
21:41the president who took all the selfies
21:43by his side, if Cortés will stay at
21:44Colo-Colo in 2027. And you know what?
21:48He replied, that decision must be made
21:50by the coach. I respect it. Not a yes,
21:53not a "of course he's staying." Nothing
21:55. The sixth-best goalkeeper in the
21:56world according to France Football, and
21:58his president won't guarantee his
21:59continuity. And the most surreal part,
22:01coach Fernando Ortiz doesn't have his
22:03renewal confirmed either. Meaning, the
22:06decision regarding Cortés has to be
22:07made by a coach who doesn't even know
22:09if he'll still be there. Escorted by
22:11police, flown by jet to London, paraded
22:13on the red carpet as the club's great
22:15pride, and on his return, his future is
22:17up in the air. For many fans, this
22:20confirms what they already thought from
22:22the plane photo, that the trip was more
22:24of a showcase for the club than a prize
22:26for the player. And this is where the
22:28story looks back to Miami, because
22:30remember, Messi told him the offer
22:32would always be there. If Colo-Colo
22:34doesn't secure his future, will the
22:36phone ring again from Florida? I
22:38wouldn't rule it out. And seeing what
22:41happened this week, neither would Messi
22:42, because think about it: Miami is
22:44looking for a goalkeeper for next
22:45season, and the one who inspires the
22:47most affection across the continent is
22:49Cortés. Messi already proved he keeps
22:52his promises. He promised to be there,
22:54and this week he was, even if it was
22:56behind the scenes. And if Colo-Colo is
22:58having doubts about a 40-year-old
22:59goalkeeper, maybe someone in Florida
23:01won't have so many. The question is
23:03whether Vociña is now willing to do
23:04what he didn't want to do in the summer
23:06. More spotlight, more pressure, more
23:08of a circus. According to those around
23:10him, he's happy in Chile, but they also
23:12say that if he’s ever without a goal
23:14to defend, he knows exactly who to call
23:15. So, let's bring this story full
23:17circle. Who escorted him to the airport
23:20? A police patrol car. And half of
23:22Chile, starting with the readers of El
23:25Mercurio, is still wondering why. And
23:27Messi, according to his camp, quietly
23:29arranged the jet that took him to
23:31London, fulfilling that promise made at
23:33the Tampa hotel. Can you count with me
23:35who stopped to be with him at the gala?
23:37Only him. On the worst night of his
23:40year, the kid took photos with the
23:41goalkeeper who stopped Spain in the
23:43World Cup, finishing as the sixth-best
23:45goalkeeper in the world, ahead of Joan
23:47García, who deserved much more and
23:48whose future is up in the air now that
23:50he's heading home. And a final
23:52reflection. From 40 years of picking up
23:55trash in Cape Verde to sitting among
23:57the best in the world in London. With a
23:59plane provided by his idol, "It’s
24:01never too late to dream." That is what
24:03Vociña teaches us. And that is why
24:05this story deserved to be told in full.
24:07Now I want to read your thoughts: Did
24:09Vociña deserve to place ahead of Joan
24:11García? Let me know. Is the police
24:14escort a scandal or a nice gesture? And
24:16should Vociña stay at Colo-Colo or
24:19finally head to Miami with Messi? To
24:22everyone watching us from Chile, and I
24:24know there are many of you following
24:26this story. What do you think about the
24:28trip and the photo of Mosa? And those
24:30in Argentina, what do you think of
24:32Leo's gesture? If this video moved you,
