The battle for Barcelona captain is in full swing! Rafinia openly takes the team, and the game between the locker room and the senior management is escalating

August 2, the battle for Barcelona's captain's armband has been completely in full swing in the past two days! Rafinia showed up directly in the latest interview, supporting Ter Stegen to continue to be the captain, but she left a living voice inside and outside the words, "The decision is in the hands of the coach and the chairman." This sounds like respecting the club, but anyone with a discerning eye understands that this is putting pressure on the senior management: the locker room has already taken the team, so you can do it!

In fact, this is not the first time that the Barcelona locker room has spoken out in a collective voice. Core players such as De Jong, Garvey, and Ferran Torres have long been openly supporting the "Little Lion", which clearly wants to compete with the senior management. Why? Because there have been reports recently that Barcelona management wants to use the captain's armband as bargaining chips to force Ter Stegen to leave the team. After all, his decision to "injure back for three months" last season made the club very unhappy, and 88% of fans even voted to remove his captain position. But the players did not buy it. Rafinia's stand-up this time was equivalent to completely making the contradictions public.

Rafinia quacked Frick in the interview, saying that last season was his "best career" and also revealed that "Frick asked me to stay in the team with just one call." This is not a casual statement, but a profound meaning. After Frick took office, he directly gave Rafinia the identity of the fourth captain (selected by the players), which clearly means supporting the new generation of leaders and weakening the influence of veteran players like Ter Stegen. Rafinia now supports the "little lion", but at the same time emphasizes that "the coach has the final say", and this operation is simply a tightrope walking!

As for his defense of Yamal, it was more like a part of locker room politics. Rafinia has always regarded herself as the "big brother of young players", and young players such as Valde and Ferming are close to him. Now he is publicly protecting Yamal, just to consolidate his position among the new generation of players and send a signal to the senior management: Don’t touch the unity in the locker room!

Vivi Observation Brief Comment:

The problem now is that Frick holds the new rule of "three times the voting weight", and he is more likely to choose Gundogan or Garvey as the captain, one has a high tactical adaptation and the other has strong local symbolism. But the locker room is obviously more favorable to Ter Stegen. This secret battle of "traditional qualifications vs coach authority" has reached its final showdown. After the Ganber Cup, the captain’s candidate will be announced. Will the locker room win or will the senior management have the final say with Frick? Let's wait and see the show!
