Brazilian Winger Raphinha Disagrees with Ronaldinho's Copa America Stance
Brazilian winger, Raphinha, has expressed his disagreement with Ronaldinho's recent statement regarding the country's national team. Ronaldinho, a legendary figure in Brazilian football, had previously vowed not to watch his country compete in the 2024 Copa America.
Raphinha, currently playing for Barcelona, responded to Ronaldinho's comments in an interview with Fabrizio Romano. "Ronaldinho's statement? I don't know if that was an ad or not, but... a few days ago, I'm told he asked Vini Jr for tickets to come see our games (laughs). In any case, I was surprised and I don't agree with his statement."
Ronaldinho, a two-time FIFA World Player of the Year, had an illustrious career with Brazil, scoring 33 goals in 97 appearances. He played a key role in Brazil's 2002 World Cup victory and was also a member of the team that won the 1999 Copa America. Despite his impressive credentials, Raphinha has chosen to distance himself from Ronaldinho's controversial statement.
Raphinha's response highlights the differing opinions within the Brazilian football community regarding the national team's current state. While Ronaldinho has expressed his disillusionment, Raphinha remains committed to the team's success. As Brazil prepares for the 2024 Copa America, Raphinha's comments serve as a reminder of the team's resilience and determination to excel in the tournament.
