Raphinha, like Robert Lewandowski, took advantage of the change of the coach in FC Barcelona. During the term of Xavi, the Brazilian was not always a player of the first squad and recorded at most average statistics. For two seasons he scored 20 goals and had 25 assists. In turn, after the arrival of Hansi Flick, only in one and the ongoing season he has 31 goals and 25 assists and is mentioned among the favorites to win a golden ball. It is no wonder that she did not like the previous coach.
Raphinhi will be loud about these words. “They didn't trust me”
He expressed this in an interview with Brazilian journalist Isabela Pagliari on her YouTube channel. First of all, he blamed Xavi that he did not guarantee his place in the first composition. – When there was nobody else, I played 90 minutes. And I gave my best, I won matches. But when there was someone else who could play in my position, he staged him without thinking, “Raphinha complained.
He blamed the trainer and his assistants for this state of affairs. – I felt that Xavi and his training staff did not trust me enough. Sometimes I did everything I could, and in the 60th minute he changed me. I tried to fix my situation, talked to him a lot, but nothing has changed. He had his own way of thinking – he said.
Raphinha couldn't forgive Xavi. He reminded one match. “I couldn't believe it”
The footballer also recalled a memorable situation when he could not stand one of such changes and hit the seat with anger. The scene quickly spread on social media. – It was in a match with Manchester United, in which I did very well, scored a goal and scored an assist. We had a 2: 2 result and he took me off. I also created a very good opportunity. I felt comfortable and played very well. And the first change was me. When I saw this, I couldn't believe it – he recalled.
