The Cape Verde national football team is having a surprising campaign in the World Cup, and coach Pedro Bubista is celebrating the team's resilience. According to him, the country, a newcomer to the World Cup, has proven that small nations with less financial capacity can compete against world champions. Bubista was asked if Cape Verde is now a favorite to win the spot, given that they will face South Africa, the last-placed team in the group. The coach also praised the work of Marcelo Bielsa, who is an inspiration to him and to many Cape Verdean and African coaches. The Cape Verde team is showing that a country can be small, can have financial difficulties, but if it has resilience, the ability to suffer and work with organization, it can also compete against big teams. Bubista highlighted that the team is the identity of the Cape Verdean people and that they want to show the country to the world, not just in terms of football, but also culture, music, and fans. The match against South Africa will be crucial for Cape Verde's qualification, and Bubista is confident in the team's ability to win the spot. The coach also emphasized the importance of respecting opponents and not underestimating anyone. With the surprising campaign, Cape Verde is becoming a team to watch in the World Cup, and Bubista is proud of what the team has achieved so far. The team's performance is a testament to the country's passion for football, and Bubista is grateful for the support of the fans. As the tournament progresses, Cape Verde will face new challenges, but with their resilience and determination, they are ready to take on any opponent.
