💥 MESSI PAGÓ EN SECRETO EL JET PRIVADO QUE LLEVÓ A VOZINHA A LA GALA DEL BALÓN DE ORO — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00A year ago, he was playing in the
- 0:01Portuguese Second Division. Last night,
- 0:04he sat among the best footballers on the
- 0:06planet at the London Palladium in his
- 0:09suit, at 40 years old, with an
- 0:10expression that needs no subtitles.
- 0:14But what wasn't captured on any official
- 0:16camera is how he got there, who
- 0:18organized the plane, what Lamine Yamal
- 0:21told him privately inside the theater,
- 0:23and why, after all that, his future at
- 0:26Colo-Colo is up in the air.
- 0:29Bociña, the goalkeeper who collected
- 0:31trash in Cape Verde, who worked as an
- 0:33electrician to pay rent, who at 25
- 0:35wasn't even making a living from
- 0:37football, and who this week flew by
- 0:39private jet to the Ballon d'Or gala as
- 0:41the sixth-best goalkeeper in the world.
- 0:45This story has four layers, and the last
- 0:48one—the one no one is telling correctly
- 0:50—involves Messi and a promise made in a
- 0:52Tampa hotel that took months to come
- 0:55true.
- 0:56To understand what happened this week in
- 0:58London, you have to know who Bociña
- 1:00really is. His real name is Josimar José
- 1:03Évora Dias.
- 1:05He was born in Mindelo, Cape Verde, a
- 1:07country of 500,000 inhabitants, fewer
- 1:10than Zaragoza.
- 1:12The day he was born, the world was
- 1:13watching Mexico because Argentina was
- 1:15debuting in the '86 World Cup.
- 1:18He was raised by his grandparents
- 1:19because his father was doing military
- 1:21service and his mother worked all day.
- 1:23As a child, he wasn't a goalkeeper; he
- 1:25played in the field with older boys who
- 1:27hit him, and when he complained, they
- 1:28teased him.
- 1:30They called him "Bociña," meaning "
- 1:32little grandmother" in Portuguese.
- 1:35A schoolyard humiliation that, 40 years
- 1:37later, he wears embroidered on the back
- 1:39of his jersey.
- 1:41An insult turned into pride. At 16, he
- 1:44had his growth spurt.
- 1:46A coach saw that he was tall, strong,
- 1:48and had reflexes, so he put him between
- 1:50the posts almost by force.
- 1:53That’s where he found his place.
- 1:55His career is a map that no one looks at
- 1:56. Angola, Moldova, Portugal, Cyprus,
- 2:00Slovakia. 10 clubs in 20 years.
- 2:04Market value before the World Cup: €
- 2:0650,000—what a Premier League star earns
- 2:09in 2 hours—and he arrived at the World
- 2:12Cup without a team, a free agent.
- 2:15And what kept him going when football
- 2:17wasn't enough to make a living,
- 2:19according to him, was watching an
- 2:21Argentine play: Messi. Then the World
- 2:23Cup arrived.
- 2:25Spain couldn't score against him in 90
- 2:28minutes: 27 shots, seven saves.
- 2:32Man of the match, and against Argentina
- 2:34, a one-on-one against Messi that he
- 2:36saved with his leg.
- 2:37Argentina won 3-2 in extra time, but the
- 2:39entire stadium applauded the opposing
- 2:41goalkeeper. From 50,000 followers to 20
- 2:44million in a week.
- 2:46Today, he is the goalkeeper with the
- 2:48most followers on the entire planet. I
- 2:50drew that he deserved it all. Scaloni
- 2:53said that out of 100 matches, that was
- 2:55the one that had left the deepest mark.
- 2:58And Messi admitted that the Cape Verdean
- 3:00equalizer was one of the best he had
- 3:02seen in a long time, and there is a
- 3:04statistic that still hurts.
- 3:06Vozinha completed six successful
- 3:08dribbles in the tournament.
- 3:10Cristiano Ronaldo had zero; a 40-
- 3:12year-old goalkeeper with more dribbles
- 3:14than Cristiano in a World Cup.
- 3:16Let everyone draw their own conclusions
- 3:19.
- 3:19And one thing before moving on:
- 3:21Vozinha’s mother couldn't see him debut
- 3:24because her visa didn't arrive; he broke
- 3:26down in the mixed zone and the images
- 3:28went viral. The case reached the United
- 3:30States Congress and the visa was
- 3:32approved. She was able to see him for
- 3:34the rest of the tournament. Last night,
- 3:36Vozinha called her from London before
- 3:37going to sleep. But we’ll tell you that
- 3:39at the end.

- 3:43reaching you, hit like and subscribe to
- 3:45Desmarque Total.
- 3:49Turn on the notification bell because
- 3:51now comes what happened at the Tampa
- 3:53hotel, Messi's promise, and how Lamine
- 3:55Yamal starred in the most emotional
- 3:57moment of the night in London.
- 4:00After the World Cup, Vozinha’s life
- 4:02turned into a circus.
- 4:04Cameras at his front door, interviews
- 4:06every day, people following him in the
- 4:08street, and Messi offered him Inter
- 4:10Miami.
- 4:12One night at the Tampa hotel, Messi
- 4:14appeared in the lobby with an envelope
- 4:16containing an offer and a special clause
- 4:18for his mother.
- 4:19Many wondered why, if Messi offered him
- 4:22Miami, Vozinha ended up at Colo-Colo.
- 4:25The answer says a lot about who this man
- 4:27is.
- 4:29According to those around him, Vozinha
- 4:31thought about it a lot, but Miami with
- 4:33Messi was the biggest stage in the world
- 4:34, an even bigger spotlight.
- 4:38And at 40, he didn't want that; he
- 4:40wanted to play, to be a starter every
- 4:42week, a club where people loved him for
- 4:44what he does between the posts, not for
- 4:46social media videos.
- 4:48A statistic that says it all.
- 4:51In that World Cup, he had six successful
- 4:53dribbles; Cristiano had zero.
- 4:56A 40-year-old goalkeeper with more
- 4:58dribbles than Cristiano Ronaldo in a
- 5:00World Cup. Colo-Colo offered him exactly
- 5:02what he was looking for.
- 5:04The biggest club in Chile, a guaranteed
- 5:06starting goalkeeper position, a city to
- 5:09live in without the noise.
- 5:11And Messi understood it immediately.
- 5:13According to his inner circle, he told
- 5:15him the offer would always be there and
- 5:17that whatever he decided, he could count
- 5:19on him.
- 5:20Keep that phrase in mind, because this
- 5:22week it became a reality. In Chile, they
- 5:24welcomed him like a hero.
- 5:27Hundreds of fans at the airport, Cape
- 5:30Verde jerseys mixed with Colo-Colo ones
- 5:32, and on the pitch, he responded exactly
- 5:35as promised: saves, leadership, and a
- 5:38locker room that treats him like a
- 5:40father.
- 5:43The academy kids ask him for advice;
- 5:45he’s the first one to arrive at training
- 5:47—exactly what he wanted: to be a
- 5:49footballer, not a viral video. And that
- 5:51is how this week arrived.
- 5:53Brayan Cortés nominated for the Yashin
- 5:55Trophy, the only South American on the
- 5:58list alongside Courtois, Unai SimĂłn,
- 6:00David Raya, and Emi MartĂnez—
- 6:02goalkeepers from the Champions League,
- 6:04Premier League, and La Liga with
- 6:06millionaire contracts.
- 6:08And in the midst of them all, a 40-
- 6:10year-old goalkeeper playing in Chile who
- 6:12, a year ago, was in the Portuguese
- 6:13second division.
- 6:15When the list came out, at Colo-Colo
- 6:17they couldn't believe it, and in Cape
- 6:19Verde, they say people took to the
- 6:21streets to celebrate as if it were a
- 6:23World Cup goal.
- 6:25Being on the list is one thing; getting
- 6:26to London on time while being the
- 6:28starting keeper in Santiago is quite
- 6:30another.
- 6:32Sunday, Santa Laura Stadium, Colo-Colo
- 6:34versus Palestino, tied at one until the
- 6:37referee blows the final whistle and a
- 6:39race against time worthy of a movie
- 6:41begins.
- 6:43The Ballon d'Or gala is Monday night in
- 6:46London, thousands of miles away, and
- 6:48Brayan is at the stadium with his boots
- 6:50still on.
- 6:52How did he get out of Santa Laura?
- 6:55Escorted by the police, a patrol car
- 6:57with its lights flashing clearing a path
- 7:00for him through Santiago to the airport
- 7:02as if he were a head of state.
- 7:05The images spread all over Chile, and
- 7:07not everyone thought it was a good idea
- 7:09.
- 7:10El Mercurio published a letter from an
- 7:12outraged reader that has already become
- 7:13historic. It read: "How can I get a
- 7:16police escort to the airport when I'm in
- 7:19a hurry? Just like the Colo-Colo
- 7:21goalkeeper, half of Chile was for it,
- 7:23half against it. And Colo-Colo fans
- 7:26erupted for another reason.
- 7:29President AnĂbal Mosa posted a photo
- 7:31from a private jet on his way to London
- 7:34, and fans recognized the image: the
- 7:36same pose as the photo from the trip to
- 7:38Brazil to sign Scolari in 2020, which
- 7:41never happened—the" bad luck "photo.
- 7:44But here comes the question no one was
- 7:46asking.
- 7:47If the club has trouble signing players
- 7:49, where did the money for that private
- 7:51jet come from? Because everyone assumed
- 7:53the club paid for it. But the story is
- 7:56different, and that answer is what
- 7:58changes everything.
- 7:59According to people close to the player
- 8:01, that plane wasn't paid for by the club
- 8:03; Messi arranged it. When Messi found
- 8:05out that Brayan was nominated and had a
- 8:07match on Sunday in Santiago, he only
- 8:09asked one question. Would he make it to
- 8:12London on time?
- 8:13And when he was told that commercial
- 8:15flights would make it nearly impossible
- 8:17, Messi quietly arranged for the private
- 8:20jet that took him to Europe, without a
- 8:22press release, without photos, without a
- 8:24single post on his social media, just as
- 8:26he always does the things that truly
- 8:28matter to him.
- 8:30The boy who collected trash in Cape
- 8:32Verde and watched Messi's matches so he
- 8:34wouldn't give up, flying to the Ballon
- 8:36d'Or gala on a plane organized by Messi
- 8:38himself.
- 8:39If that isn't a movie, someone tell me
- 8:42what is.
- 8:43And the odyssey was real.
- 8:46A quick shower after the game, a patrol
- 8:48car, the airport, more than 12 hours of
- 8:50flight to Madrid, a jet connection to
- 8:52London, hotel, suit, red carpet, with
- 8:54almost no sleep, legs still heavy from
- 8:56the match at 40 years old.
- 8:59Anyone would have said it wasn't worth
- 9:01it, but Vozinha wasn't going to win
- 9:02anything that night; he was going to be
- 9:04there, and that was his prize.
- 9:06On the red carpet, before going in, he
- 9:08went straight to the children waiting
- 9:10behind the barriers. He signed
- 9:12autographs one by one, without rushing.
- 9:15While others walked by in their
- 9:17sunglasses, the 40-year-old goalkeeper
- 9:20who was picking up trash two decades ago
- 9:22stopped for every kid.
- 9:25When asked how he was doing, he replied
- 9:27:" I think it's a great honor to be here
- 9:29. Congratulations to the other
- 9:31goalkeepers. I didn't expect it, but I'm
- 9:33happy to be here.
- 9:35"And inside the theater, the photos that
- 9:37didn't appear on any TV broadcast with
- 9:39Figo, Capello, Kluivert, Arteta, Saka,
- 9:40Rodri, and Kane, the man who was going
- 9:42to win the Ballon d'Or that night and
- 9:44who went home with a Colo-Colo pin in
- 9:46his pocket.
- 9:47But there was one photo that is worth
- 9:49more than all the others: Lamine Yamal.
- 9:52Think about what Lamine was going
- 9:54through.
- 9:55He had known for a week that he wasn't
- 9:57going to win, that the award was going
- 9:59to Kane.
- 9:59That Mbappé would finish ahead of him
- 10:02without having won anything. Laporta had
- 10:04to meet with him to lift his spirits.
- 10:07And yet, in the middle of that night,
- 10:10the 17-year-old boy stopped with Vozinha
- 10:13and they took a picture.
- 10:15According to those nearby, Lamine was
- 10:18the first to approach.
- 10:20He hugged him and laughed, telling him
- 10:22he still hadn't forgiven him for that
- 10:24Spain against Cape Verde match. Let's
- 10:26remember that Lamine came on in the
- 10:28second half of that game and couldn't
- 10:30score on him; no one could, and Vozinha
- 10:32replied that he hadn't forgotten the
- 10:33dribbles he had made him suffer through
- 10:35either.
- 10:37Two players heading home empty-handed,
- 10:40one 19, the other 40, laughing together
- 10:42; instead of resentment, there is
- 10:44affection, and something else connects
- 10:47this moment.
- 10:49Messi was not in London that night,
- 10:51although he was also nominated. He
- 10:53finished fifth at 39, but he knew it
- 10:55wasn't his turn. He has eight Ballon
- 10:58d'Ors at home, but for Bounou, it was
- 11:01likely the first and last gala of his
- 11:03life.
- 11:04And Messi didn't want him to miss it due
- 11:07to a flight issue.
- 11:08One didn't go because he didn't need to
- 11:10; the other went because it was his
- 11:12dream, and the first made the second's
- 11:14dream possible.
- 11:16There are many players who seek to be
- 11:17the center of attention. This guy does
- 11:19great things when no one is watching. If
- 11:22this story touches you, hit the like
- 11:23button and subscribe to Desmarque Total
- 11:25.
- 11:26Turn on notifications because now comes
- 11:28the result that hurts as a Barça fan and
- 11:30Bounou's future that no one is talking
- 11:31about.
- 11:32And now comes what hurts, the Yashin
- 11:35Trophy ranking. First, Unai SimĂłn.
- 11:38Second, David Raya.
- 11:40Third, Courtois. Fourth, Safonov.
- 11:44Fifth, Dibu MartĂnez.
- 11:46Sixth, Bounou.
- 11:48Seventh, Joan GarcĂa.
- 11:51Read that again.
- 11:53Barça's starting goalkeeper, a world
- 11:55champion with Spain, seventh behind a
- 11:58goalkeeper playing in Chile.
- 12:01And I say this with all due respect for
- 12:03Bounou's history, because it moves me as
- 12:05much as it does you, but as a Barça fan
- 12:07, I'm more disappointed than angry.
- 12:10Bounou had three or four historic
- 12:12matches in a World Cup, no one denies
- 12:15that, but Joan GarcĂa is a world
- 12:17champion and was the best keeper in the
- 12:20league all season.
- 12:23For many, better than Unai, better than
- 12:25Oblak, better than Courtois throughout
- 12:27the year.
- 12:29Saves, games saved, titles.
- 12:33Seventh, while Courtois is third in a
- 12:35year where Madrid didn't reach the World
- 12:37Cup final, while the Barça keeper is
- 12:39left out of the top six.
- 12:42Don't tell me it's a coincidence.
- 12:44When you play for Barça, you have to do
- 12:46twice as much to get half the credit.
- 12:48We saw it with Yamal, we saw it with
- 12:50Pedri, now we see it with Joan GarcĂa.
- 12:52This award is no longer the Ballon d'Or
- 12:55, it is the Marketing d'Or. And then
- 12:57comes the final twist.
- 12:59After everything this week, President
- 13:01Moza was asked one simple thing.
- 13:04Will Bounou stay in 2027, and he replied
- 13:06that such a decision must be made by the
- 13:09coach. Not a yes, not an" of course he's
- 13:12staying. "Nothing.
- 13:14The sixth-best goalkeeper in the world
- 13:15according to France Football, and his
- 13:17president won't guarantee his continuity
- 13:19.
- 13:20And coach Fernando Ortiz also hasn't had
- 13:22his contract renewal confirmed.
- 13:25The decision on Bociña has to be made by
- 13:26someone who doesn't know if they'll
- 13:28still be in the job.
- 13:30For many fans, the trip was more of a
- 13:32showcase for the club than a reward for
- 13:34the player.
- 13:35And here the circle leads back to Miami
- 13:37. Messi told him that the offer would
- 13:40always be there. If Colo Colo doesn't
- 13:43secure his future, will the phone ring
- 13:46from Florida again?
- 13:48Messi already proved this week that he
- 13:50keeps his promises. He promised to be
- 13:52there and he was, even if it was behind
- 13:54the scenes.
- 13:55If someone in Santiago has doubts about
- 13:57a 40-year-old goalkeeper, maybe someone
- 13:59in Florida doesn't have as many.
- 14:01And look at the full picture of this
- 14:03story.
- 14:04Messi wasn't in London, but the boy
- 14:06Messi held as a baby in a 2007 charity
- 14:08photo was the one who stopped to hug
- 14:10Bociña inside the theater.
- 14:13Messi arranged the plane for him, and
- 14:15the boy from Messi's photo met him at
- 14:17the door. If a screenwriter wrote this,
- 14:20no one would believe it. Before going to
- 14:22sleep that night, Bociña did just one
- 14:25thing: call his mother.
- 14:27The same one who couldn't see him debut
- 14:29in the World Cup due to a visa issue.
- 14:31The same one who left him with his
- 14:33grandparents in Mindelo to go work, and
- 14:35the first thing he told her was," Mom, I
- 14:37was sitting next to the best in the
- 14:39world.
- 14:40"40 years to be able to say that phrase
- 14:43, from picking up trash in Cape Verde to
- 14:46the Ballon d'Or gala with his idol's jet
- 14:48, the photo of the boy, and the memory
- 14:51of every kid he signed an autograph for
- 14:54on the red carpet.
- 14:56It is never too late. That is what
- 14:59Bociña teaches us.
- 15:01And look at what he himself said when he
- 15:03returned to Santiago, that the most
- 15:04beautiful part of the night wasn't the
- 15:06red carpet or the photos with the stars
- 15:08.
- 15:08It was calling his mother from the
- 15:10London hotel, the same mother who
- 15:12couldn't see him debut in the World Cup
- 15:13.
- 15:14Now he can tell her that he was sitting
- 15:16next to the best in the world, and no
- 15:17one can take that away from him.
- 15:19Not the controversial escort, nor the
- 15:21photo of the president on the jet, nor
- 15:23the unresolved future. That is why this
- 15:26story deserved to be told in full.
