      @@hendramanaf240 Yes. Raphina also did that to protect lamine from the crowd. From the start of the match, there were some Madrid fans (not all) from that particular side were doing racist chants against lamine -telling him to go clean shoes (bcz some African immigrants do that for living in Spain). When lamine scored he made sure to went there to that section and told them to calm down and showed them his name at the back of the jersey and to make of them he showed them his braces. Doing racist chants against anyone is despicable but doing it to a 17 year old boy is a new low utterly shameful.

      Since august the captains from the voting are from top to bottom: Marc-André ter Stegen (1), Ronald Araujo (2), Frenkie de Jong (3), Raphinha (4) and Pedri (5). So as seen, 3 players had to get injured so Raphinha could wear the captain bracelet as it happened, and he's the newcomer from the list, so they must really respect him inside doors. Also, I think, not sure, if none of those players are on the pitch, the bracelet goes to the most veteran player (in the club), for example, the 5 captains are out, Lewa is there but also Gavi, then the captain would be Gavi (the most veteran in the first team that is).

    I’ll be honest I was one of those raphina haters. I didn’t like him being on the RW because I preferred Yamal there. He started convincing me once Xavi moved him to the left and he had that spectacular game against PSG. Coming into the summer I didn’t care if Nico signed or not, now I’m really glad he didn’t. Raphina is in the form of his life and I’m happy for him. Giving everything for the club and deserving of all the praise he’s getting

      Raphinha was doing the same stuff in his first season when Xavi had him on the left and in the middle with Dembele on the right. They'd often switch sides too. Sadly people only recognize a Brazlian's talent when he does skill moves and samba dancing.

    I started paying attention to him when he joined Barca and was definitely underwhelmed with his play as I'm sure most of us were. But knowing his background now, how he came from such a rough upbringing without an academy to polish his skills and just clinging on to any hope to make it, it's really inspiring and epic to see him finally hit his stride! He just needed more time to level up, something he probably wasn't able to really start tapping into until he was 19 or so.

    I love when players like him finally 'come good' (not that he was ever bad). You can see from his teammates that he is a complete team player. You can see from his performances that he is a pressing coaches dream. You can see from his finishes and passes that he is very much as gifted and intelligent as anyone else on the pitch. Raphinha finding his groove rightly gives everyone else hope; "If I could only play as I was meant to play, I think it would work out" we can all tell ourselves, because in his case, it's clearly true.

    The lesson to be learnt here is to pay more attention and respect the players you can see put in the work, have tremendous passion and dedication. In Raphinha's case you could see that very clearly in all the clubs you went to. In cases like his, where there's all this but only flashes of brilliance, or perhaps brilliance but very inconsistently, it can be just a matter of time of external factors for the player to EXPLODE.
    I believed in him even when the hate was all he got, and even got a Barça shirt with his name on it.

    I love this guy...it's the braids, it's like a Sampson thing. All jokes aside, everyone loves a comeback story...but he's moving past the comeback story and into something much more fun and exciting to watch. His IQ, ability, and leadership on the pitch is fun to see. I've loved Barça most of my adult life, as I had no way of watching the games as a kid...and this is an exciting time to watch the club. Flick has done a great job unleashing this guy to become a true club legend...I wish him all the very best on his journey this year, at this rate, he should win the Balon d'Or...provided Brazil doesn't collapse in the qualifiers

    I liked when Barca signed Raphinha it was a sign that Xavi wanted a player with a high work rate who could press and work well up and down the wing defensively. Yes what let him down was is offense output as he wasnt a good 1v1 dribbler and Xavi's 4-3-3 positional footbal always wanted him his wingers wide to touch line to be able to attack the half spaces this led to reduced chances, vs Hansi Flick 4-2-3-1 has allowed more central and inside forward position which has helped unlock his runs in behind on a lot of his goals and more positional freedom. He has also been great from free kicks/inswinging corners with his left foot. Raphinha is such a key player in Flick's Barcelona it's great to see Raphinha get the praise he deserves for all the effort he gives on the field for Barca!

    Ever since he arrived here in Barcelona, he’s quickly risen to be my favorite player at this club. Even when fans thought he was expendable for funds, and wanted to sell him, I always defended him and wanted him to stay. He’s a fighter just like Puyol. His mentality is second to none, and learning about his background, it’s no surprise why he tries harder than anyone. I hope he stays for many more seasons because he’s just a joy to watch and lead this team.

    • @LiftandCoa
      @LiftandCoa 18 днів тому

    • @rieder282
      @rieder282 18 днів тому

      ​@LiftandCoa Obviously would not say he is THE best in the world period, because he needs to hold this level over a few years to be in that tier. But this season there is no other player in the top 5 leagues who had more offensive impact than him, so i would say he had the best season of any offensive player so far. I believe kane is the only one with more g/a, but he is doing it for bayern...
      Everybody is talking about raphinha and gyökeres and rightfully so but marmoush is doing atleast as good if not even better than them and nobody cares.

    For me the 2key things: he always had competition at his position, Dembele at the time was better and then Yamal, but he always has the intensity; the second thing is the confidence as really per minute contributions he has always been good but I think the PSG game playing on the other wing scoring 2 calls and then being chosen as captain after they tried to sell you really boosted his confidence

    I never HATED raphinha, just that he was super mid before. I actually respected his goal contributions, quite good overall. What i must say is that i did NOT expect him to go super saiyan this year. Immense stuff!
    And Yamal... what else can i say, this kid simultaneously makes me happy as a spain and barca fan and makes me feel a crisis cus he's soo young and doing soo much lol. Incredible stuff. May this season come with a treble!!!

    While in Madrid Vini(even after spending 5 years at Madrid), Mbappe fighting for LW now Jude added too, Raphinha came as RW and played as LW got criticism so much adapted and now he has no fixed position in attack he can play anywhere upfront in opposition half.

  • @kelvinkam3406

    also balde on the left side helping raphinha a lot, balde could drible 1v1 also great at defense, could overlap to give raphinha options. Moreover, dani almo playing as a 10 but could also play as lw help rapha a lot bcs they can switch position depending on circumstances

    Raphinha grew on me, i used to put him on the same shelf as Antony, it was fun to watch him fail... until i noticed how hard he was trying to achieve results, i realised how much he was missed during his injury last season, and i was thriled when he finally stated to get recognition after the 1st leg vs psg.
    Brazilians and myself had a really bad impression of Raphinha, his perfomance during world cup 2022 was underwhelmingn he didn't stay long enough for us to see him play and we don't usually watch laliga or premier league games in Brazil, so it was hard to see his value. Glad to see that he is proving everyone wrong.
