Rafinha Alcantara

[xXKonan]

Rafinha made the final 23 man Squad list for the Copa América.

He will most likely play in the Olympics as well. Busy summer for him and I hope he doesn't get any injuries.

 

[Barcaman]

Good to hear. Doubt he'll play much if at all in remaining matches so playing for Brazil would benefit him.

 

[Jamie Cal]

Surprised he made the Copa squad, surely they're stacked in that position? It's better for us the more minutes he gets anyway.

NT experience are always good for development of young players

He's been out the whole season, so these summer tournaments should do him good...

NT experience are always good for development of young players

at the current age of football i'm not sure if 23 is seen as Young

Messi being on the podium of the ballon or as a winner and runner up a couple times at that age

topic : i'm sure playing both tournaments will do him all the good

 

[Leovicky]

A player who was sidelines for six month ...the two tournament wil help him get rhythm back

Best way to help him grow back his confidence

Incredible gol

Happy for Rafinha.

Also happy to see that cu** Pau f*** up.

I feel really positive about Rafinha. Provided he stays fit I think he can be a starter for us some time in the future. I know some doubt his credentials, however.

 

[Barcaman]

He was looking really good before that idiot Neingollum injured him.

It seems rafi missed tonight
He really pushed sevila players well and did lucho's orders perfectly.

It was a shame Neymar didn't pass it to him for an easy tap-in. It would've been a nice gesture to him after his injury. Then again, Neymar had a good angle to shoot from, and iirc there was a defender nearby to intercept a potential pass.
