Dinho revealed a few days ago that he would not watch Brazil in the Copa América. The Barcelona striker replies: “I don’t agree that there is no determination or desire and that the players are mediocre.”
Raphinha, striker of the Brazilian national team, took the trouble to speak about the controversial statements of Ronaldinho, who had said not to watch Brazil’s matches in the Copa América.
Raphinha replies to Ronaldinho

Dinho spoke, among other things, about the lack of leadership of the Selection: “It was a surprise not only for me, but for the whole group… He had never made a statement like that in his life. On the contrary, he always showed his support for the national team. It was a surprise for many people. I consider him an idol, a reference: everyone who is in the national team, not just the players, but everyone who works here sees him as a reference”, underlined Raphinha.
“We are even more surprised considering that Ronaldinho asked Vinicius for tickets a few days ago,” added the 27-year-old Barcelona player.
“It was a shock for us. Obviously we don’t agree, I don’t agree. I’m in my third year and I see commitment, desire, pride in wearing the shirt. I don’t agree with what was said, I don’t see any lack of determination, desire, having multimedia players wearing the national team shirt. I absolutely disagree, they all have qualities and merits.”
