To be honest, Rafinha is quite balanced in all aspects, with good technique, typical Brazilian pace and shaking, good movement and shooting, and his defensive contribution is also quite high. In terms of dribbling posture, he looks like a weakened version of Dee Maria.
However, his turnover rate in Leeds United is still a bit high. He has good awareness of slanting the ball from his ribs and is very capable, but it is also a style of play that has both benefits and risks. His ability to pass people is indeed good, but his skills with his feet are very poor. Ba, I personally feel that he is not a pure explosive player. His speed with the ball is not that exaggerated, but his speed without the ball is very fast.
In his first season at Leeds United, Raphinha contributed 6 goals and 9 assists. 21/22 season. Raphinha played 35 league games on behalf of Leeds United, including 34 starts, contributing 11 goals and 3 assists.
At the national team level, Rafinha has so far represented Brazil in 9 games, scoring 3 goals and 2 assists.
Generally speaking, it is still necessary for Barcelona to buy Rafinha. Barcelona currently has Dembele as a hot spot. If Dembele's condition is unstable, who can he turn to when the situation cannot be opened? Moreover, Harvey's tactical system particularly needs explosive points, so buying Rafinha is a good choice.
