Players Tribune really underrated
Great read, raph comes across really well.
Looks a really good player...maybe at liverpool in a year ir 2
Excellent article.
It is hard to visualise these toughened and gun-ridden communities from which so many of our talented footballers in the English game who have come from various nations throughout Latin American, but sadly these communities and their related social issues such as those Raphinha describes are so real and widespread.
It takes time, but once you build trust it is a privilege to be involved working with those from within these communities, and seeking to give further opportunities for better education, as well as more platforms to showcase their skills and abilities, and not just those in football.
So pleased for Raphinha that he was one who has made it to the echelon of football. Proud that he is Leeds!
An amazing read that will be overlooked by most Leeds fans. Loved it very second of that. Like many Brazilians, Africans and the like. He came from such brutal and raw surroundings.
The way of life he had was very harsh and on the cusp of death or criminality.
Glad we have him.
He's a great player, and from what I can gather from the interview, a great bloke too. Thanks for posting this. What an amazing story he has to tell. We can't even begin to imagine what growing up in a Brazilian favela must have been like. Sounds like he has a great family too.
A great read indeed. Thanks for sharing. From humble beginnings and you can tell he appreciates where he has got to now.
