The controversy between Raphinha and Carlo Ancelotti not only warmed the newspapers, but also dragged the mixed reactions of the experts. Many former soccer players and commentators have spoken, creating an lively discussion about the authenticity in Raphinha’s statement. Some people think that he was right when he pointed out the controversy regarding arbitration decisions in the past, especially in the main matches of Real Madrid in the Champions League. However, others think that Raphinha accusations lack of specific evidence, only a trick to get attention and weaken the opponent’s reputation.
Meanwhile, Ancelotti’s reaction is considered a wise movement. Instead of falling into a long controversy, he decided to respond briefly, showing confidence and not let himself take to the emotional line. However, the fact that he mentioned the possibility of Raphinha of the Brazilian team has caused a lot of debate. Some people think that this is a lack of base, because Ancelotti has no direct right to choose a player for Seleç. This caused many people to ask if he was deliberately using his influence to press the young player.
On the Raphinha side, it is rumored that his nine words are a direct, personal but acute challenge for Ancelotti to be silent. Although the specific content has not been public, the way in which the star of Barcelona handles the situation shows that it does not fear the big names. This strengthens Raphinha’s image as a not only talented player in the field but also strong on the way to face external pressure.
This incident also raises the question of the role of social networks in modern football. Only an online statement can fly a long argument, calling millions of fans worldwide. It also establishes a challenge for players and coaches in the control of personal images. With Raphinha, his speech could be a double -edged blade: he only helped him score points with Barcelona fans, but he could also get his relationship with the main soccer organizations. Meanwhile, Ancelotti, with a dense experience, seems to maintain the necessary composure not to leave the case too far. Whether this war ends or continues to increase, only time can respond.
