The Cape Verde defender was very close to realizing his dreams.
"The summer break is always much shorter than the winter one. Sadly we have a few days extra to rest after we did not qualify for the Europa league. Several of my team mates have already said and I can only add my name to the fact that we are very disappointed. We have to learn from this unsuccessful season. I will spend the summer quietly, spending it with my family and those friends that I have not seen for a long time. I will also be paying attention to the football World Cup. This is a tournament that all players would love to participate in. This is the biggest dream for any footballer. Our national side was very close to qualifying for the World cup in Brazil. However, due to an administrative error, we ended up missing out. (The Tunisia - Cape Verde match ended in a 0-2 result, but the Cape Verde side fielded a player that was banned, so FIFA awarded the match to Tunisia with a 3-0 scoreline. - editor) I am not really supporting any team, as I do not really have a favourite. The main thing is that there should be as many exciting games as possible for us to watch - commented Stopira to vidi.hu.
