Rafinia talks about old club Bayern vs. Flamenco: Now I have a heart divided

Bayern and Flamenco will meet in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup next time. Rafinia, who has played for both teams, was interviewed today and said she was very confused.

Rafinia told Global Sports: "Bayern gave me a difficult problem (laughs). This is a dream showdown. I didn't want it to happen so early. I have a deep relationship with both teams. I am lucky to have played for both sides and know them very well. The winner will be fans, and they will enjoy great performances, but I don't want to see this showdown be staged in the round of 16. Now every game is a tough battle. If you want to win the championship, you must defeat the strongest opponent. This will be a classic battle, and both sides are well prepared."

Rafinia has played for Bayern for more than eight years and won many championships, including the Champions League and the Club World Cup. In 2019, he also wrote a brilliant story in Flamenco, and the team won the double championships in the Brazil League and the Liberators Copa 1. Now his old teammate Felipe Luis has become the team's head coach, and Rafinia believes that the team is expected to advance to the quarterfinals under the leadership of this young coach.

Rafinia said: "Of course there is a chance, and it's a good chance of winning. Flamenco has a very strong lineup, which has proved this for many years. They have the strength and qualities to defeat Bayern. Although they are facing one of the world's top teams, Bayern also faces challenges. Felipe is my close friend. We often contact each other. We have been against each other in the European arena and also fight side by side with Flamenco in the youth team. He has outstanding abilities and is practicing many innovative ideas. I have known for his success in coaching. I hope he can maintain this momentum and believe he will soon be in the European coaching giants. Bayern has top players, and they are very strong in the defense, midfielder and forward line. But Felipe will definitely prepare for Flamenco in the best way."

Since the match between Flamenco and Bayern was confirmed, Rafinia's mobile information has not stopped. He is likely to receive a call from his old friend of Bayern in the next few days. After losing to Benfica, Mueller said that he would inquire about his opponent's intelligence from the Brazilian friend.

Rafinia said: "I'm having a hard time now (laughs). I plan to do this: turn off the phone directly so that there is no need to worry about who to reply. Bayern's teammates are very nice to me, and I spent more than eight years there. They know that I'm very happy in Flamenco, won the championship and won countless honors. There will definitely be phone calls, but it's really difficult at this time. Both sides are my friends."

"Muller is my old friend. We talk almost every week and have established a deep friendship at Bayern. I will consider how to deal with it, but I will definitely communicate with both sides, whether it's Bayern or Flamenco. In fact, they have professional teams to provide opponent analysis. I'd better keep silent. At this moment, my heart is divided into two halves."
