Raphinha hopes to emulate Mo Salah as he discusses Leeds' future and Jesse Marsch LUFC
as one of his biggest role models, but says that one Liverpool star is among those who inspires him to aim strive to reach his full potential.
Such has been the quality of the 25-year-old’s performances, interest in his services have not been in short supply withHaving scored 10 goals and contributed three assists this term, it’s no surprise to see Europe’s biggest clubs sniffing around the forward, but while admitting that he’s driven by his individual numbers, Raphinha says that it means nothing if his side aren’t winning.
He said: “I think that regardless of our situation in the Premier League, we need to take the positives from the season. Despite the adoration for the Argentine, Andrea Radrizzani made the difficult decision to relieve him of his duties and replaced him with Jesse Marsch, who Raphinha credits with restoring the confidence in the Leeds camp.
“I think we just need to give time for the coach, Jesse, to adapt to the club and for us players to adapt to him. I don’t think that changes are needed because we’ve got the same team as last season. Last season we had a great season and finished high in the league and got great results, but this season has been all about bad luck.
