11 - Raphinha

[Porque]

This type of responsibility can’t be taught and you are lucky if you have it. Means you go out on pitch with little effort to constantly give your all and not doing something when you could be doing something does not make sense to you.

Raphinha has strong values regarding respect and duty.

I am the same when play footy with friends.
I hate standing still.

I thought it was interesting how he arrived same window as "Old Man" Lewy, yet is our captain by players. Obv Frenkie ahead on hierarchy but we see the difference between the twos leadership.

Shows his mentality. The most Brazilian German ever. Flick loves him.

 

[Barcaman]

One of the few players that are worthy of the shirt. I'd be pissed at my teammates if I was him

 

[FCBfan22]

His effort in the 2nd half was great, despite a quite bad game for his standard.

 

[Skalman]

At least he is earning his pay, not something you can say about his teammates today

my captain

 

[serghei]

Managed to score two very nice goals vs both Celta and Las Palmas, hit the post 2 times in both games. Only player that delivered in the last games. Been trying to save us, but the other players around him were just too poor to help him.

Raphinha: “We’ve been doing poorly. We're lowering the level of what we were doing. We have to keep working. There are many things we are doing wrong. We have to turn things around on Tuesday. I’m angry, I don’t care much about my goal”

This guy will keep us afloat with his mentality. Great goal and great game btw.

 

[serghei]

I wouldn't say he had a great game overall, it was obvious that he is tired, but he is a warrior that still found ways to produce the goods despite struggling himself. That's the difference in mentality, in a bad day he is likely to still be decisive while others will produce nothing of note.

Raphinha: "I don't care about my goal, I'm very angry. We have to look at what we're doing wrong. We've lowered our level and matches are becoming more complicated."

Raphinha: "There are lots of things we're doing wrong and we have to change."

100% and that is a good testament on how much he's improved that even on an off day he produces moments.

 

[serghei]

As a side note, he was still captain when De Jong was on the field. He should be permanent captain.

Key player in almost all matches.
