Since his arrival at FC Barcelona, Raphinha has certainly produced the best season of his career. The first steps of Brazilian in Catalonia were however very complicated. Little decisive, the left -hander was very often cited in the Mercato sections, as his contribution to the Blaugranas was weak. But since last August, the 28 -year -old has been transformed. He embodies, alongside Lamine Yamal, the face of the attack on the Hansi Flick team, so much so that some see him as a potential Ballon d'Or. The main interested party has in any case returned to his complicated periods.
In an interview with Mundo DeportivoRaphinha has agreed to talk about her difficult times since arriving at Barça. And the former of Leeds seems to have suffered: ” Since my arrival, at each transfer window, there were rumors saying that I was leaving, that I was not up to this club. But I know my abilities. I'm not here thanks to someone's gift. I am here thanks to my work, what I have done in other clubs and with the selection. This is not a level problem. But I am at Barça, a big club, a demanding club, and if you do not give what people are waiting for, it is normal to be criticized: that it is better that it is better that you are leaving, that you do not have the level to wear this jersey … But I knew what I could bring to this club. I knew that if I worked and the results were coming, people's opinion would change. And that's what happened ». One thing is certain: these criticisms should not come back soon.
