"When rumors come out that the club wants to sell you, the fans say all the bad things. It's impossible for it not to cross your mind to leave and not be a problem for the club. I'm a person who's not going to be where they don't want me," confessed Raphinha. However, the Brazilian assured that he always had confidence in his ability to win over the new coach, Hansi Flick. "I was sure that with a week of working with Flick, he would fall in love with me," he affirmed.

The importance of the relationship with the coach

The relationship between player and coach is fundamental to the performance of any footballer. In Raphinha's case, it seems that this connection with Flick has been key to his adaptation to Barcelona's new project. The Brazilian winger has shown his commitment to the team and has displayed a high level of play since the German coach's arrival.

Raphinha's future at Barça

Despite the rumors last summer, Raphinha seems to have found his place at Barcelona. The Brazilian has shown his desire to continue at the club and contribute to the team's success. However, football is a dynamic sport and anything can happen.

The Lamine Yamal factor

Another topic that has stood out in Raphinha's interview is his relationship with young Barcelona talent, Lamine Yamal. The Brazilian has shown great admiration for the Barça youth player, whom he considers one of the greatest talents in world football. "He's my boy, I have a very special affection for him. He's one of the best in the world and he's going to be one of the best in the world," said Raphinha.

The connection between Raphinha and Yamal is evident on and off the pitch. Both players have shown great chemistry and have generated great excitement among Barça fans.
