Raphinha: I had a great time with Bielsa, and almost all of my current achievements are thanks to him

Previously, Suarez had publicly criticized Uruguay national team coach Bielsa, and some Uruguayan players expressed their agreement. In response, Raphinha also shared his thoughts. Bielsa and Raphinha had worked together at Leeds United.

Raphinha said, "I’m not sure what exactly happened with the Uruguay national team, but I can share my experience of working with Bielsa at Leeds United. Almost all of my achievements today are thanks to him."  

"During our time together, we had great moments and also went through some tough times, just like in a big family. When many people live under the same roof, conflicts are inevitable. Sometimes things go smoothly, and sometimes there are unpleasant moments. It's not always perfect."  

"I believe the situation is similar, whether in a football club or a national team. Sometimes things go well, and sometimes they don't. Bielsa and I also had disagreements and arguments, but I’m almost entirely grateful for where I am today because of him."
