Discussion on Raphinha's Performance
Here we go again. Hopefully, hopefully, every week they keep bringing me
up those famous tweets I wrote about Raphinha in his first two years,
when I realized, and I still think, that back then, as a right
winger, as a, player boxed into that wing,
playing on his
wrong foot, who had to beat his man and didn't
beat his man, who cut inside and
lost a lot of balls, he wasn't up to standard in those first two years.
What I don't see
are— are tweets from people who now throw
in my face what I
said, tweets from back then defending
Raphinha.
Back then, no one knew how to defend Raphinha,
no one came out to defend Raphinha.
Even when Barça wanted to sell him permanently, no one came out.
Or when he was in many predictions to be sold, and he himself even came close
when it came to leaving, no one came out to defend Raphinha.
They come out now.
They come out now when, uh, one thing has to be said, not even I, I think
no one, myself included, could have imagined that Raphinha would
put up these numbers
this season. And despite scoring
38 goals playing
in a different position two years ago, huh? But as a number nine, no one saw these goals coming.
And fortunately, he is here
and putting on a tremendous display. But I'll just say one thing and finish.
Uh,
the difficult thing, and what must also be done, is to give your opinion when
things happen. You can be wrong or you can be right.
Sometimes you're right, and sometimes you're wrong.
But you have to give your opinion when things happen.
Do you know what mediocre people do?
They give their opinion
when things have already happened.

Volvemos a lo de siempre. Ojalá, ojalá cada semana me vayan sacando los tuits famosos que yo hice de Raphinha en los dos primeros años, cuando entendí, y lo sigo pensando, que entonces, como extremo derecho, como, como futbolista encorsetado en esa banda, pierna
cambiada, que tenía que desequilibrar y no desequilibraba, que se iba por dentro y perdía muchos balones, no dio el nivel en esos dos primeros años. Lo que no veo es, son-- o son tuits de la gente que ahora me echa
en cara lo que yo dije, tuits en aquel momento defendiendo a Raphinha. En aquel momento nadie supo defender a Raphinha, nadie salía a defender a Raphinha.
Incluso cuando el Barça lo quería vender permanentemente, nadie salía. O cuando estaba en muchas quinielas para ser vendido, que incluso él estuvo a punto de decidir irse, nadie salía a defender a Raphinha. Salen ahora. Salen ahora cuando, ah, hay que decir una cosa, no yo, yo creo que
nadie, yo el primero, nadie podía imaginar que Raphinha iba a hacer estos números esta temporada. Y a pesar de que hace dos años metió treinta y ocho goles jugando en otra posición, ¿eh? Pero de nueve, estos goles, nadie lo vio venir.
Y afortunadamente está aquí y está dando una exhibición tremenda. Pero solo digo una cosa y termino. Eeeh, lo difícil y lo que hay que hacer, además, es opinar cuando las cosas suceden. Te puedes equivocar o puedes acertar.
A veces aciertas y a veces te equivocas. Pero hay que opinar cuando las cosas pasan. ¿Sabéis qué hacen los mediocres? Opinan cuando las cosas ya han pasado
