Patrick Sequeira convinced everyone: from the Copa America organizers to the spectators in the United States

In the telecast of the match done by the channel TUDN In America, from the chain UnivisionThey chose the player of the tournament and the nominee was the Costa Rica goalkeeper.

“The big figure is goalkeeper Patrick Sequeira,” said match commentator Jose Luis Lopez Salido.

The organization of the Copa America agreed with the audience TUDN of Univisión, because Seguera was considered the man of the match, the MVP (most valuable of the match), as he is commonly called in the United States.

It seems strange that Seguera had to wait until the Copa America to rate. The 25-year-old goalkeeper was the star of the tie's first two games, but St Kitts and Nevis and Granada made little or no demands on him.

From an early age, Patrick moved to Spain to pursue a career in football, and little is known about his circumstances. For this reason, in the Copa America and especially against Brazil, he found the best thermometer he could measure.

“Thank you to the people who are always there, my family, my friends, my girlfriend and the people I'm happy with. You always have to have a little bit of luck in this, and I was lucky the ball went the other way on the deflection,” Patrick Sequeira said. TUDN, There he noted Lucas Paqueta's shot hitting the upright.

Patrick added that the goalless draw against Brazil was crucial for the team's confidence. “We played a great game against a great opponent and we lived up to it. Now continue to do the same or better things. I dreamed about this and thank God it came true,” said Patrick Sequeira.

Patrick had decisive moments against Brazil, namely in the 6th and 24th minutes, when he came off to face Rabinha; On the second of those, he covered his chest shot.

In the 62nd minute, Lucas Paqueta struck the ball with a left-hand upright. In the 71st minute, he saved a goal, or could have been an own goal by Haxel Queiroz, who headed it into the frame, but Sequeira, who followed up, was able to deflect it. Corner kick.

For many, the challenge of being the national team's starting goalkeeper is too much for Patrick Sequeira as he has to fill the shoes of Keylor Navas. 'Halcon' ended his career with a hat-trick and national team coach Gustavo Alfaro gave Seguera confidence and ownership.

Patrick needs to write his own story and put his chest in the air at the Copa America, as he demonstrated in a big way against Brazil. For now, Patrick has gained confidence and shown that there is a goalkeeper in the national team.

The goalkeeper added just his sixth international cap; He made his debut in September 2022, where he started two friendlies, his only action until 2024 when he played against Uruguay, St. Kitts and Nevis, Granada and now Brazil.
