Raphinha Calls Out ‘Disrespectful’ Barcelona Fans
Barcelona’s winger Raphinha has been upset with some of the team’s supporters after they seemed eager for Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao to take his place during the summer transfer window. Despite Raphinha’s ongoing efforts for the team, the Brazilian criticized the disrespect he experienced when supporters printed Williams’ name and squad number on Barcelona shirts.
Raphinha’s Reaction to the Mishap
When Raphinha addressed the contempt displayed by certain supporters in an interview with reporters, she did not mince words. “Yes, I did see a photo on social media of someone printing my number and Nico Williams’s name on a Barcelona shirt. I thought the post was insulting, so I left a comment.” Raphinha stated. Players like himself are totally committed to the team and should be respected for their efforts, he underlined.
“People need to keep their respect to the players from the club who try to do their best for the shirt.”
The Transfer of Nico Williams That Didn’t Happen
Williams, 22, had a €55 million (£48 million/$63 million) release clause, and Barcelona was allegedly interested in signing him during the summer. Nevertheless, the transfer fell through, and Raphinha was left to remain a vital winger for Barcelona. Raphinha has reacted resolutely to the rumors, declaring that he is currently working at “200 percent” under new manager Hansi Flick.
