Just watched him get subbed off.
I don't know what to say honestly, last 2 games I can't even say it's disappointing because it's not.
Most of Brazil's game is focused on Vini's side so Vini can dribble, cut in and get in the box, Raphinha however looks very clueless, and it's sad because I'm a Barcelona fan.
Barcelona’s system under Hansi Flick allows Raphinha to roam and act as a playmaker but Brazil’s setup forces him into the same role as vini which he is not that good at and that role kills his creativity.
Also, Brazil’s midfield often lacks the verticality to support the right flank, Raphinha is forced into 1v2 situations against defenders, every single time. He ends up looking "clueless" because he is constantly outnumbered and starved of support, it's saddening to see.
Raphinha
I agree, but fyi he got subbed off because he is not feeling very well this week

Does Martinelli ever play on the right for Brazil? if I’m not tweaking Arteta would sub him on the right occasionally. I’m just tryna see more Martinelli ball at the wc
First time reading allat anyway what's actually frying me is that he literally got fucked by Raphinha so badly multiple times that he got sacked so not knowing how to use him is crazy

I think you are right
But nah he only enters subbing Vini iirc

rejoice, it looks like martinelli will get subbed in
raphinha never really plays as well on brasil as he plays on barcelona. 100% a system player
