Raphinha

Raphinha is the kind of winger who makes me lean forward. Born in Porto Alegre, the 177 cm Brazilian tears up the flanks for Barcelona and the national team with pace, vision, work rate, and a real finish, a genuinely complete attacker. Carrying a one-word name in the great Brazilian tradition suits him. What wins me over isn't only the flair; it's the unglamorous willingness to run harder than anyone on the pitch. Plenty of skillful players coast, but he tracks back and grafts, and that engine is what makes him the heartbeat of a side. I rate him highly.
