The Barcelona striker and the Brazilian team also praised the performance of the Brazilian teams in the new FIFA tournament.
Raphinha, the striker of Barcelona and the Brazilian team, praised the performances of the Brazilian teams at the Club World Cup. In a commercial event on Friday (27), in San Paolo, the player gave an interview and declared that he had seen a lot of potential in the teams, but also the European defense, who had to give up the holidays due to the tournament.
– Honestly, I think that Brazilian teams have very potential and a lot of quality. The merit is to advance in this club cup. If they are coming so far and winning difficult games, or even drawing, it is because of a good job that has been done, “he said.
While the South American are halfway through their national and continental seasons, the Europeans are at the end of the season, which has become a complaint of some athletes and coaches. Although Barcelona did not qualify, Raphinha supported his companions who had to give up the holidays to play the new FIFA tournament.
– In particular speaking, like someone who plays in a European team, they would be on vacation, right? Marquinhos and Beraldo do PSG, for example, they played the champions’ final, so they performed in the Brazilian team and are now competing in this tournament. They didn’t stop. Many say it is an excuse, but giving up the holidays for the obligation is very complicated. He is a right player. Having to give up the holidays to play something you are forced, it is very bad.
