Raphinha on his comments against Argentina: Perhaps I didn't choose the best words
Brazilian star Raphinha spoke for the first time about his controversial comments before his country's match, which they lost to their Argentine rivals in the World Cup qualifiers "1-4".
Raphinha, who has been shining with Barcelona this season, said about the matter: "Perhaps my previous words were not the most appropriate."
He continued: "But when I wear the national team jersey, everything is clear in my mind. It's about defending my country's jersey and defending my homeland."
He added: "What matters to me is defending myself, whether I'm playing for the national team or at Barcelona. And if I have to fight... I will never hesitate."
