11 - Raphinha

[KingLeo10]

Flick knows he's the most important player on the team (along with Pedri), for our CL ambitions.

Best to keep him fresh.

 

[serghei]

He was making subs at 1-1 and Raph was not one of them..maybe later.

Even then.. to rest Yamal earlier.

Yamal doesn't need that much rest as people believe. He is usually the one in our team that does the fewest sprints off the ball as he is used primarly for his talent and ability on the ball.

Off the ball workhorses like Raphinha need more rest than Lamine.

Flick is punching him for talking that crazy talk

Yet that has not been way Flick has been treating Pedri or Raphinha this season or Yamal..who is as key as those two.

 

[serghei]

As said, I put that on the profile differences between Raphinha and Yamal. Raphinha's game is built entirely on his intensity almost. If that goes due to tiredness... he instantly becomes half the player.

 

[Barcaman]

Raphinha is a fitness beast. No way in hell he sits out entire game. Jamdav is right, something must have happened to displease Flick.

Raphinha takes his moments off ball also.

He doesn run like a red arsed fly for 90 mins. He at times will hang up park waiting for break to provide option in behind.

No one claims he has to go on and press like a machine anywya.

 

[serghei]

Yeah, makes no sense. When it happened before, with Pena, Kounde left out, it was leaked or even directly confirmed by Flick. Any news for this to believe that was the case?

Flick knows he needs him if they're to be successful. He will be back in soon.

 

[JamDav1982]

Yamal was pressing a lot today... he won ball 4/5 times doing just that.

Strange for Raphinha not to play at all in circumstances.

But if just reasting him at expense of likes of Yamal then maybe thats all it is.

Flick is an Argentina fan

Yamal, played full match no? Even at 3-1. It's obvious Flick doesn't think Yamal needs rest.

That is the whole point being discussed.

 

[serghei]

That is the whole point being discussed.

And it is discussed in raphinha's thread... because? yamal and raphinha are not related at all. Completely independent decisions from one to another.

 

[JamDav1982]

And it is discussed in raphinha's thread... because?

Clear why.
