Vozinha told how he will try to stop Messi: He is the best football player in history

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vosignha shared his expectations for the 2026 World Cup round of 16 match against Argentina, where his team will face the reigning world champions. The goalkeeper singled out the Argentinian captain Lionel Messi and admitted that it will be extremely difficult to face the legendary attacker. "He is the best football player in history. When the team has to play against him, everyone feels the tension. For me, to be on the same field with Messi is a dream. Someday I will be proud to tell my children that I played against him. I understand that it is almost impossible to stop him, but I will do everything to prevent him from scoring," Vosignha said. The match between Argentina and Cape Verde will take place on July 4 as part of the first round of the 2026 World Cup playoffs. For the representative of Africa, this will be the debut entry into the knockout stage at the World Championships.
