The forward of Catalonia’s "Barcelona" Rafinha spoke about his relationship with former "blaugranas" coach Xavi Hernandez.
Rafinha— I felt that neither Xavi nor his coaching staff trusted me. I was the last option for him. I gave my all, we won matches, however, when other players returned from injury, they played instead of me.
There is a telling video in which I explode when I approach the substitutes’ bench and kick the ball. It seems that it was a game against "Manchester United," in which I played very well, scored a goal, and made an assist. It seems the score was 2:2 and he replaced me. I felt comfortable, played very well. And I was the first to be substituted. I had several conversations with Xavi, but this did not affect the situation in any way. He thought in his own way, — said Rafinha.
Additionally, in the current season Rafinha has played 52 matches, in which he scored 31 goals.
