However, the technician has given him a vote of confidence to Raphinha during the commitment in front of the Betis and has answered to perfection. The Brazilian situated in the band in replacement of 'Dembouz' and was one of the footballers that more initiative had during the 80' minutes that contested. In fact, it went the author of the first so much of the culés that opened the tin in Benito Villamarín.
The first part of the meeting was very worked but the Barça kept the control of the spherical at all times, desahogándose with the ex Leeds United by the right and with Gavi and Alejandro Balde by the left. Nevertheless, the first feelings of the complement were not of the all good for the 'canarinho', since it lost a lot of balloons and did not have the capacity of desbordar to his rivals with the same efficiency that Dembélé.
In spite of this, Xavi kept firm his bet in him and surrendered fruits to the 65' minutes of the second half, when a centre raso of Balde would arrive to his feet for alone have to push it and annotate the first target of the party. Although Raphinha needs to win more duels and have greater clarity in the vision of game, the true is that it did not go down the arms in any moment and the reward was worthwhile, so much for the as for all the technical body.
