Raphinha has opened up about the support she received from Juventus star Danilo on her debut for the national team.
The Barcelona star is part of a new generation of Brazilian talent and made his debut while still playing for Leeds United.
Considering the talents they have all over the world, playing for Brazil is a big deal and the dream of every player in that country.
When you get the chance to wear that yellow and green jersey, you want to make a good impression.
Raphinha made her debut in a match against Venezuela last October and had a good game, after providing two assists in a 3-1 victory.
Now he has revealed how Danilo supported him to show his class in the match.
He said through Football Italia:
“When you have the ball, go ahead and try to dribble them, I will be here to protect you. If you lose the ball, I’ll get it back and give it to you, so you can try again.”
Juve FC says
Danilo is one of the most supportive teammates you can have, and that’s one of the reasons he continues to be successful.
He’s versatile and wants to help his teammates in whatever capacity they need him to, and it’s no surprise that Raphinha made this revelation.
