In quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic, the right-wing Rafinha was the guest of “Papo Virtual” this Wednesday, on Flamengo’s official YouTube channel. The 13th jersey, which has entered the club’s history with the Libertadores and Brasileirão titles last season, spoke about the red-black crowd, saying he was surprised by the support coming from the stands.
– I was surprised by the strength of Flamengo fans. I have never been a storyteller. Flamengo fans are very different, it makes a difference in games. The team is bad and the crowd sings, cheers us on. Inside the field, I change when I listen – said the winger with spells in German football and the Brazilian team.
Hired in June 2019, Rafinha quickly became one of the leaders of Jorge Jesús’ team, on and off the four lines. One of the most experienced, the 13 shirt is also one of the group’s biggest winners, and has already won five titles with the Flamengo shirt: Brazilian Championship and Libertadores, in 2019, and Recopa Sul-Americana, Supercopa do Brasil and Copa Guanabara , in 2020, before the closure of football due to Covid-19.
Adapted to the club and his new teammates, Rafinha says he is happy with the life change he took when he left Europe after 14 seasons.
– It was a special year. Marcos and Bruno went to Germany to talk to me. I wanted to continue my soccer. And it was good, because I found a giant club, a passionate crowd … for me it was a wonderful change: I evaluated number 13 in the interview with FlaTV, this Wednesday.
