Rapinha’s trip from Porto Aleger to the Barcelona dressing room is the story of resistance, discipline and improvement. His conversion to high-level actors has nothing to do with talent. It is about thinking, sacrifice and tireless desire for success.
Rafina grew up in relentless and crushed poverty that was seen throughout the vast city that shows the scenes in and surroundings in the neighborhood of Restingh in Porto Allegri.
In a neighborhood where violence and drug trafficking are often a way of life, Rafael Dias Belly knew at an early age that football was not just a way out—that was the only way to escape.
He first played for an elite club like Barcelona.
coach Xavi saw more as a member of the squad at a debate-based lead player and even when he started playing normally in the squad, he rarely played.
Barcelona’s inability to buy without being sold because of financial problems has strongly led to the club’s biggest asset of the club’s play and the most likely player, especially last summer.
Focus was also somewhere else with Lamini Jamal, who was the center of everyone’s attention and in an effective and talented manner.
In two seasons, Rafinha has been used 11 times outside the bench, starting just 42 of their 76 appearances.
The message came out of Barcelona was simple. “We don’t want to lose you, but we think you have to go.” It seemed to be essential.
Rafinha had other ideas, although it was something close.
“There were moments, not just one of them (when I thought about leaving).
“There was a lot of suspicion. I have an ugly habit to criticize myself, if we say, so that pressure made me think about leaving.
Xavi’s expulsion changed in May and Hansey Flick’s appointment.
The German coach gave Rafina a bigger role and allowed him to play with confidence. He is now a player who is reborn again.
Flick’s work on the importance of smarter decision-making, Ky Dribal’s knowledge, when will it pass, and more direct styles fit him.
These days he loses the ball less and is more efficient and ready in front of the goal.
No one should debate his rights to be considered one of the world’s leading players.
