Raphinha came into play during the last half hour of play, Brazil bowing to the Andean national team. After the meeting, Raphinha intervened to claim changes, believing that the Bolivian team had an unjust advantage due to altitude, to which Bolivian players are used to and where other national teams often have trouble running.
Raphinha still gets angry
“From the moment a team makes you play at an altitude of 4,000 meters to win a match, I think it's very harmful to other teams”, he commented, relayed by sport. “” And then, in a balanced match like the one we played, the referee conceded a penalty. I think it makes our match even more difficult. »»
