To paraphrase The Sopranos: "This is our captain now."
This is becoming a comedy. I feel for Ronald, but his request is unprofessional. Football is just a sport that pay extremely well, it's not like the death of a relative. And the best way to overcome the misery is to keep going, not hide in a hole.
Captains should radiate confidence and Ronald's aura has completely evaporated. Raphinha is the true captain, Frenkie is confident and if wasn't for his age Lamine would be my first pick. The kid at 18 has it all - confidence, skills and leadership mentality.
