How he turned Flick into the most in-form player in Europe - he was considered a failure and a move away from Barcelona was considered

The arrival of Hansi Flick in the Barcelona dock brought very positive things for the Catalan giant, and apart from the fantastic results, what he did with the Brazilian striker Raphinha stands out.

Barcelona's phenomenal start to the season was capped off with convincing wins over Bayern Munich (4-1) and Real Madrid (4-0) in just a few days.

From a team that was experiencing decline, German expert Hansi Flick has created a powerful machine that claims all the trophies it competes in this season.

However, the most pronounced change is in Raphinhan. The Brazilian striker, who Barcelona paid dearly to Leeds, had solid statistical parameters over the last two seasons, but everyone saw him as a failure.

The club tried to remove him during the summer, even his number "11" on the shirt had to be transferred to Nico Williams, who did not end up at the "Camp Nou".

Instead, within a few months, Raphinha became the most in-form player in Europe.

Raphinha scored 10 goals and registered seven assists this season for Barcelona, ​​so it is already the third most successful season of his life, and it is only the beginning and it is clear that the time has come for him to adjust all his personal statistics.

The Brazilian winger appeared in an interview for the YouTube channel, "LoSimpleNoVale" with journalist Alberto Hernandez, and explained what has changed.

"When the rumors start circulating that the club wants to sell you, the fans say the worst about you. It is impossible not to leave the club in such a situation because you don't want to be a problem for the club. I am a person who will not be where they don't want me", declared Raphinha.

The Brazilian later revealed that at the first meeting with Hansi Flicka, it was clear that the collaboration would be successful.

"It was clear to me from the first day, after seven days of working together, that Hans would fall in love with me," declared the Brazilian.

This happened quickly. Flick gave Raphinha complete freedom in the game, but also in the dressing room.

The German coach made him one of the leaders of the dressing room and the key people of the team and gave him the captain's armband. It also gave him the role of mentoring young players.

"If last year we gave 100 percent, now with Flick we have to give 200 percent and this is the reason for the success", declared Raphinha. /Telegraph/
