Brazil’s national team manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has once again expressed his strong backing for Barcelona’s Raphinha. This renewed support comes in the wake of intensified criticism directed at the winger.
Raphinha started in Brazil’s recent World Cup opener against Morocco, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. During the game, the former Leeds United player, along with several of his teammates, found it challenging to make a significant impact.
This performance led to calls for Raphinha to be benched for Brazil’s upcoming match against Haiti.
When questioned by the media on Friday, Carlo Ancelotti was asked about the under-fire winger. Brazil’s manager seized the opportunity to reaffirm his complete confidence in Raphinha’s skills, stating:
“For me, Rapha is one of the best players in the world.”
The 29-year-old winger is anticipated to keep his position in Brazil’s starting lineup for their early Saturday morning fixture in Philadelphia.
