Edmundo: Goalkeeper for a Day! (and he managed to cry…)

With a career full of highlights (not only for the good football), Edmundo does not cease to make into the headlines. At the age of 37, the forward is back after playing as a goalkeeper for Vasco. In the match, his club lost 3-1 at home for Cruzeiro, who moved to the second spot in the league. Cruzeiro was leading 2-1 (Guilherme and Ramirez had scored for the visitors) when goalie Tiago was ejected after making a penalty. Because Vasco had made the 3 subs, Edmundo went for the most under appreaciated position of football. Even losing, the fans were very supportive, but the Animal could not stop Guilherme, who scored the final goal of the match. After that, Edmundo made two good saves, giving the only moments celebration for the fans.

Emotional as usual, the forward cried after the match and said that refs keep stealing his club and that Cruzeiro players kept saying humilliating things throughout the match. Don’t cry Edmundo. We promise you won’t be the goalie in the next round.
