With six goals and eight assists in 12 games, Raphinha is one of the players who stands out the most in Flick’s Barça. The Brazilian, who was sought out for competition in the summer trying to sign Nico Williams, has vindicated himself as a footballer. Montages were even made with the Brazilian’s shirt and the name of the Athletic Club forward. “That was a joke in bad taste, a lack of respect. But it has helped me improve,” acknowledged the Brazilian who, after the entire series, saw how his teammates elected him captain. one two
The trust that the coach and my teammates have given me is very important.”
Along with Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, he will be one of the pillars in tomorrow’s match against the almighty Bayern on the day he will celebrate 100 games with the Barcelona shirt. “The number is important. I will celebrate it I hope with a victory. The team is not looking to take revenge against Bayern, but rather to play and take the three points,” said the Brazilian, who looked very comfortable in the press room. He already understands Catalan but still doesn’t dare to talk. Everything will come. Just as its best version has arrived.
To achieve this, Raphinha said he had done “mental and tactical work. The trust that the coach and my teammates have given me is very important. After three years at the club I am always willing to learn and the mentality with which I started this season was a little different. I knew I had to adapt to other positions,” explained the Brazilian.
Raphinha is one of those players who doesn’t want to be compared to anyone. Not even with his Brazilian idols. He focused on Neymar, a footballer who recognizes that he has marked him. “But now I seek to write my own story”, A story that I now rewrite wearing the captain’s armband.
“But being captain is not just that. You have to be inside, help the team, the veterans, and the young people. Listen to them, see if they are okay or not. I try to help them as much as I can. I am at your disposal and the truth is that I am excited and happy to be one of the captains. It means a lot. There are players who have made history with that bracelet and I want to follow in their footsteps,” he noted proudly.
One of his dreams is to win the Champions League. “I left the game against PSG quite sad because I saw that we were quite close to reaching a final. But what happened happened, this result was a shame. Now we are in a new season and the objectives are renewed. To play in a club like this you have to have in mind winning the maximum possible titles, life is like that,” he diagnosed.
Finally, asked about the classic, Raphinha pointed out that “football is a sport for which we have to be prepared for all three results. I assure you that the group is working 100% to emerge victorious in everything,” he stated.
