Raphinha says that the dream of the Cup was interrupted in an ‘unexpected and very painful’ way

Raphinha used her social media to talk about Brazil’s elimination from the World Cup. The player, who was used throughout the campaign and started four of the five games, said he is still sad and frustrated to have his dream cut short.

“The desire to conquer was very strong, very great, but it was interrupted unexpectedly and very painfully. It will still take some time to cool off and try to understand all the feelings of the last few weeks. frustration of having our goal interrupted, it still hurts, and it hurts a lot,” he wrote.

In numbers, Raphinha’s performance was below expectations. He went blank on goals and assists, although he produced important plays on the right side of the attack. Against Croatia, as in other matches, he was replaced by Antony. In the game against Cameroon, he was on the bench, but came on during the game.

The Brazilian team won three games, drew one (in which it was eliminated on penalties) and suffered a defeat.

Well, after a few days thinking about what I could write, I confess that I lack words right now.

Wearing and defending the heaviest shirt in world football is a gift. Representing the Brazilian national team and playing in a World Cup is a dream.

The desire for conquest was very strong, very great, but it was interrupted unexpectedly and very painfully. It will still take some time to cool off and try to understand all the feelings of the last few weeks. From the joy of fulfilling a boy’s dream to the frustration of having our goal interrupted, it still hurts, and it hurts a lot.

But the sadness will pass, it may take a while, but the gratitude for being part of this group will be eternal and unforgettable.

Thank you to everyone who was fully committed, worked tirelessly and was united in every victory and also when things didn’t work out.

Pride remains, as well as the goal of putting another star on our chest continues. Thank you so much to everyone who cheered for us and keep dreaming with us!
