Raphinha returned from the international break exhausted and furious after being forced to play in Brazil's 1-0 loss to Bolivia at 4,100 meters altitude. The winger criticised both the conditions and a dubious penalty decision. Despite Brazil already being qualified, Ancelotti gave him 108 minutes across the two matches, while Real Madrid's stars stayed home.

Pretty clear what happened here.

Reckon Uncle Flo gave him a nice little cheque for this.

I'm sure Raphinha enjoys playing for his country. He hasn't been injured and is now on a break until Sunday, so I don't see a big problem here. Vini wasn't called up because of the suspension, and Rodrygo isn't green enough at the moment.

Why play Raphinha at all? Put some nobodies on the pitch. I don't think this game mattered to Brazil.

I understand why he's annoyed, but it's not his place to question whether he is selected for a game or not, even a dead rubber. His job is to do as he's told by the coach. This guy is getting too big for his boots after one class season. There's been quite a few incidents in the last several months that make you wonder if he thinks he's a superstar.

Or maybe he's just a typical favela crackpot.

This guy is now late at trainings? One top season and that's it? Someone better talk some sense in his thick head. If his workrate and intensity go away, he's an average player.
