Some fans say Raphinha has been poor for Brazil at World Cup – stats strongly disagree
After playing four games at the World Cup without scoring or registering an assist, there are some fans who argue that Raphinha has not been good enough for Brazil.
Danny7Gallagher: "Raphinha has continued to look out of sorts for Brazil here, after a poor season so far. They've got so many forwards in a similar mould.. can't believe they didn't take Firmino for that something different."
Raphinha has been so poor for Brazil. Antony needs to be subbed on

Raphinha is not good enough for this Brazil team

Regardless of what those fans say, Tite considers Raphinha a key player and regular starter in his Brazil side because of what he brings to the table besides goals.
Stats have shown that Raphinha tops all Brazil players in seven key stats:
Chances Created - 8.
Successful Dribbles - 4.
Big Chances Created - 3.
Tackles - 8.
Duels Won - 14.
Shots Attempted - 7.
Shots on Target - 6.
It goes to show that Raphinha is easily Brazil's best forward so far in the tournament except for goals contributed.
