Claudio Bravo criticizes Vozinha’s performance: “He lacks technique and coordination”

Claudio Bravo offered a blunt assessment of Vozinha, Colo Colo’s Cape Verdean goalkeeper, saying the player “lacks technique and coordination.” The former Chile international discussed the goalkeeper’s performance while working as a television analyst for ESPN.

Bravo said criticism of his comments often leads people to suggest that he might be acting out of envy. He rejected that idea, arguing that he evaluates Vozinha from the expertise he gained during his own career.

“Every time I have spoken about Vozinha, I receive some criticism suggesting there could be a certain amount of envy on my part, which does not exist at all,” Bravo said. “One comments on these things based on the expertise one has gained along the way.”

He said Vozinha’s matches can be difficult to assess because goalkeepers at a big club often face only occasional interventions. But Bravo pointed to one play involving an offside decision that, in his view, exposed the goalkeeper’s shortcomings.

“There is a lack of coordination on his part, timing that does not exist, and an incorrect take of the ball,” Bravo said. The former goalkeeper of FC Barcelona and Manchester City used the sequence to explain why he considers Vozinha’s technique and coordination deficient.
