A Raphinha He has not sat at all well as the Barcelona He could not play the Club World Cup. The Brazilian player has loaded against this tournament, minimizing and even ensuring that it is better to be on vacation than disputing the official competition for the FIFA. “It is very bad to have to give up your vacation for playing something you are forced,” said Raphinha.
«At no time were they asked To the players about nothing (of the Club World Cup), ”explains the Brazilian footballer. To him, like all his teammates in Barcelona, it was difficult for him to ask him something because they failed to qualify for this tournament. It should be remembered that if Barça is not in the United States, it is because He was unable to meet the requirementsHe did not have enough ranking to be in the tournament and surpassed him to Atlético de Madrid, which has now been eliminated in the first round.
«One has to go and point, because We follow orderswe have to be there playing. And, as a player of a European club, Giving up my vacation to play a new tournament is very complicated», Added Raphinha in his allegation against the Club World Cup. The criticism, totally respectable and that focuses on the calendar and the lack of vacation, is carried out by a player whose team is not in the tournament.
To give strength to his argument, Raphinha gave the examples of his compatriots Marquinhos y Lucas BeraldoChampions Champions with the PSG that they have barely had rest, because after that they have had international matches with Brazil and now this club World Cup. However, there could also refer Raphinha to the selections matches, and not to the Club World Cup.
«Giving up our vacation by obligation is very complicated because It is our right; Everyone agrees and everyone deserves at least a month of vacation, three weeks, even. And many of those who are playing the World Cup will not have a month, ”Raphinha continued in an advertising act in Brazil.
The criticism, which opens the debate of the necessary vacations of the players, is understood by a footballer who has made a great season with Barcelona, but is not competing in the Club World Cup. If the cikes had managed to qualify, perhaps Raphinha's analysis would have been another.
