[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=3) Because I don't understand how— I mean, given who he is at Barça and given that, to me, he's the Brazilian right now, uh, he should be Brazil's figurehead, you know.

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=13) I mean— He's the best striker in the world right now.

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=15) Ah, I mean, he doesn't have, he doesn't have, he doesn't have the nerve to tell Ancelotti: "Listen, Ancelotti, don't call me up here. End of story."

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=20) But wait a moment, because I wanted, wanted to talk about Lamine and, uh, the Spanish national team, the team, the Spanish federation, or even De la Fuente have backed down.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=30) And I like that they've backed down. I mean, in front of Lamine and Barça.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=34) Right? I mean, to me, that's backing down.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=36) I mean, in the same way that we've complained at other times: “Damn, no, no, no, I shouldn't have gone.”

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=42) We even saw Lamine Yamal come limping back through the airport.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=46) It wasn't that long ago, huh, maybe a couple of years ago.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=49) And now, well, Lamine, the complete opposite of what is happening with Raphinha, says, “Hey, I'll go whenever I want.”

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CtJOzArurGaH/en/raphinha-and-lamine-yamal-debate-over-brazil-and-spain-call-ups?t=54) Why? Because he's at his best.
