From the volcanic archipelago of Cape Verde, a young midfielder named Vozinha carried his nation's hopes onto football's grandest stage and emerged transformed. His World Cup performances drew the gaze of clubs across continents, and now Colo Colo — Chile's most decorated club — has claimed him as their own. It is a story as old as sport itself: a small nation produces an extraordinary individual, and the wider world takes notice.
