Cabo Verde World Cup hero, Vozinha, admits his life has completely changed VERY NEGATIVELY and he prefers the life he had before he became famous:
“I have LOST my peace and tranquillity. I don’t have privacy anymore, or at least much less than before.”
“Now when I go out or go to a restaurant, there is always someone asking for a photo or an autograph. Or even worse, someone FILMING me.”
“During the World Cup, there were many companies and brands that wanted to work with me. But while we were competing, I only did ONE promotional collaboration, with UFL Mobile.”
“For now, I don’t want to work with tobacco, alcohol or BETTING brands.”
“A lot of people want to be famous and have a public profile, but they only see the positive side of that reality. To be honest, if I were offered the life I have today or the life I had before, I’d choose the one I had before.”
