Pressure for Raphinha after returning from vacation

The season 2023/2024 of Raphinha in the FC Barcelona is being much more discreet of the expected. The Brazilian, the one who came to convert 10 annotations and 12 passes to goal in the past course, expected that it took a step forward after the course of Ousmane Dembélé to the PSG. Nevertheless, between injuries, sanctions and some irregularity in his game, his level has left more doubts that certainties in the Barcelona cast.

To these heights, the ex of the Leeds accumulates already three so many, a quota goleadora quite low if it compares with, for example, Sergi Roberto, the one who has the same quantity of goals turned into a lot of minutes less (814' of the Brazilian against 390' of the of Reus) and exerting in a more retarded role, like midfield player.

Raphinha Will have to give a 'step at the front' this 2024

From this, the called of attention is for a Raphinha that, in spite of having the absolute confidence of Xavi Hernández, the one who whenever it can ranges it like titling (10 of 17 commitments), also has to be conscious that, because of his particular loss of puntería of face to the arch, in spite of being a source of constant danger, has not been hit in the last third of the field to concretise all what generates, and can be losing his place. In this sense, behind him has to a very impetuous Ferran Torres, that whenever ingresa generates a lot of disequilibrium, or even a Lamine Yamal, that, to base of quality, already knew to remove him the place in the right extreme in the past.

The Brazilian, by his part, is convinced that it can contribute much more to level goleador, a register that has seen impoverished in the last time, no like this the one of assistances, where the one of Carry Cheerful is one of the leaders in the club with seven passes to goal. However, when being a forward of the Barcelona, the requirement goes further of the appreciated register asistidor, especially when they know the provision of a Raphinha that, in his best form, is a piece that can be extremely incisive and essential for the approach of the technician egarense.

At least, in the actuality seems that it goes in way of this. Against the Almería, broke a series of 14 consecutive parties without marking, after the target that marked on 26 September in front of the Mallorca. An annotation that served to free tensions and that it can serve like stimulus to mark the backstitch of the Brazilian in his registers goleadores, something extremely necessary valuing that it comes an important stretch of the campaign for the club culé, doing special upsetting in the crossing of Champions against the Napoli, competition in which, fits to stand out, Raphinha still has not been able to do his première goleador official with the elastic Barcelona.
