The extreme Raphinhaconcentrated with Brazil for the Cup America of state Joinedhe reminded this Saturday Kylian Mbappe who lost the Qatar 2022 final against Argentina, “a team from South America”after the Frenchman said that the Eurocup “It’s more difficult than the World Cup.”
“Unfortunately for him and happily for us, he lost a World Cup against a team from South America,” stated the Barcelona attacker in a press conference in Orlando (USA), where Canarinha prepares for its debut in the America Cup against Costa Rica on the 24th.
Raphinha also mentioned another controversial statement by the new Real Madrid player, when he pointed out a couple of years ago that the qualifying phase for a World Cup is more difficult in Europe than in South America, where in his opinion football “it wasn’t that advanced.”
Months later, Mbappé would lose the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar against Argentina Lionel Messi in the penalty shootout, after tying 3-3 at the end of extra time.
“I would like to see the European teams play the South American qualifiers on the fields we go to. There I would see if it is easy or difficult,” indicated the footballer from Porto Alegre.
Despite everything, the Brazilian international resigned because “Everyone says what they think.”
“It’s Mbappé’s opinion and I can’t change what he thinks,” he added.
Brazil will debut in the Copa América on the 24th against Costa Rica, in Los Angeles, and then will face Paraguay and Colombia, in Group D.
After a notable season with Barcelona, Raphinha aims to form the offensive trident of the ‘green-yellow’ team along with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.
