Basking Ridge, New Jersey: Brazil star Raphinha intends to repay the faith shown in him by new coach Carlo Ancelotti at the World Cup after frequently proving to be the nemesis of the Italian during past encounters at club level.
“What he has achieved in football is admirable, not just to those who worked with him but also his opponents,” Raphinha told reporters Wednesday at the Brazil team´s World Cup base in New Jersey. “It was always very difficult coming up against him, but I was lucky to come out smiling a lot of the time. “Now I hope to do for him all the things I did against him. To help get good results for him and for the team, because they really deserve it.”
