Raphinha, a winger for Barcelona, describes how Juventus defender Danilo supported him on his debut in Brazil last year.
The former Leeds winger earned his senior international debut in October 2021, and he is currently expected to be selected for the 2022 World Cup squad.
Raphinha discussed how Juventus defender Danilo assisted him in making his international debut with the Brazilian YouTuber Fui Clear.
“When you get the ball, go ahead and try to dribble them, I’ll be here to protect you. If you lose the ball, I’ll recover it and give it to you, so you can try again.”
Brazil were 1-0 down against Venezuela at the break but eventually managed a 3-1 win with Raphinha delivering two assists in the second half.
The 25-year-old has an Italian passport and was also considered by the FIGC in the past, but he only wanted to play for his country. Raphinha has three goals in nine appearances with his national team.
Danilo, 31, made his senior Brazil debut in 2011 and has scored one goal in 45 appearances.
