Part 5/7:

Selection and Strategy at the National Level

The broader context reveals enduring challenges within the Brazilian national football team. Inconsistent performances and issues of morale often overshadow tactical discussions. While Rafinha thrives in his club role, his contributions at the national level have not reflected the consistency displayed in Barcelona colors.

The critique extends to the management and strategy adopted by the team. For Brazil to extract the best out of each player, including Rafinha, a coherent and effective team strategy must be established which can facilitate a collective form that brings out individual brilliance.
