After his arrival to the FC Barcelona, Raphinha has turned into an important piece for the attack of Xavi Hernandez, although it is conscious of his margin of improvement in front of the high competition to do with one of the offensive squares. The forward also has been one of the favourites of Tite for the Brazilian forward and already prepares for his first Glass of the World.
Recently, the attacker has offered an interview for the 'Chain BE' in which it has detailed part of his actuality in the Barcelona team and his challenges in the project of Xavi, warning that it feels more comfortable when it occupies the right band of the field: "it likes Me the competition with players of big quality, but would like me compete in my place, where am more comfortable and where can contribute to the team".
However, this demarcation usually is occupied by Ousmane Dembélé, the one who according to the Brazilian has the confidence of the trainer and of his mates, including to himself same, but signalling that his current square limits him: "The Barça has an equipazo, with players of a lot of quality. Play the one who play goes to do the possible to help. In the left can not contribute a lot".
The Brazilian has indicated that along the season 2022/23 the performance of the Barça has depended a lot of the appearance anímico that can show the staff to the moment to jump to the field, what has translated in the results: "When have the confidence in a high point is easier, the things go out better and when we do not have it so up, is a bit difficult, but go to try kick more".
His opinion on Xavi and Lewandowski
The international with the 'Canarinha' sustains that the míster has made a good work from the Barcelona bench, although still there is a lot for improving: "it Was a big footballer and today see it like a big trainer. Obviously that all the world looks for to improve a bit and think that, like trainer, has a lot that grow, but is contributing a lot of to the Barça".
Regarding the Polish forward, affirms that it understands very well with him in the field, since his skills facilitate him a lot the work to the moment to hurt in the contrary area, standing out that only it is question to execute the passes with precision: "Put him centres is very easy, only have to put the balloon. It asks me some balloons where likes him more and I try to put them".
The best player of the world for Raphinha
The extreme also has 'wetted' with regard to his comparisons with Ángel Gave María in front of the similarities in the game deployed. Neither it has lost the occasion to do some pranks on the 'Noodle': "it Is truth, almost all say it to me. Obviously that I am more good-looking that he, but be compared with big names is an honour, loves me as it plays".
For Raphinha, the best player of the world in the actuality is his big fellow and mate of selection, Neymar Jr., to the one who will be accompanying during the next Glass of the World in the attack: "Always I go with the Brazilians, but no only by this: I think that it is the best by what does in the field, by more than a lot of people go on speaking badly of him, but is a big footballer and a big person".
What would say Raphinha if it calls him the Madrid?
Possibly motivated to his comparisons with Ángel Gave María, the Brazilian has been interrogated on the possibility to form part of the staff of the Real Madrid. However, faithful to his commitment with the Barcelona, has answered that it would not do it by no means: "Of course, it would say him that no to the Real Madrid".
