Rafinia: Bayern must respect flamenco because they also have the best players in South America

Recently, former Bayern and Flamenco player Rafina accepted an interview with Bayern's official website, and he conducted an in-depth analysis of the upcoming 8th-finals of the Club World Cup between the two sides.

The 39-year-old Brazilian player won six championships for Flamenco between 2019 and 2020, including the Liberators Copa 2. He lives in Rio de Janeiro and remains in close contact with Bayern's teammates.

Rafinia played for Bayern for eight and a half years. He contacted friends such as Mueller and Neuer almost every day. Rafinia said on the phone: "These two clubs have special status in my heart, and I am very much looking forward to this game. But I have played for Bayern for a longer time. I have good friends on both teams, and Neuer and I are best friends."

In terms of flamenco, Rafinia specifically mentioned coach Felipe Luis, who also played side by side in 2019. Rafinia believes that Bayern needs to pay special attention to Flamenco's offensive player Gerson and top scorer Alasketa, and he also mentioned left-wing Bruno Enrique and central defender Rio Pereira.

Speaking of flamenco's style of play, Rafinia said: "Framengo knows what they will face, and Bayern must respect flamenco because they can be dangerous. Bayern has better individual players, but flamenco also has some of the best players in South America. I don't think Flamengo is without chance, but Bayern is another level of opponent and I'm looking forward to how they deal with it."

Rafinia believes that although Bayern is a clear hot spot, flamenco has nothing to lose in the game and they may bring surprises. He said: "Bayern has a 60% chance of winning, but they also need to overcome the high temperature at 4 pm local time in Miami. If they play properly, they will continue to move forward."

Finally, Rafina was confident in Bayern: "Bayern is a big favorite to win the championship, they have an incredible lineup and an excellent coach, and Kompany has done a very good job."
