Frick scored stones into gold, the Golden Ball Winger is about to renew his contract! 56 goals were created in 54 games, Barcelona executives are happy

Barcelona this season finally saw the shadow of the "Cosmic Team". Under the training of German famous coach Frick, the Red and Blue Army gradually regained the former "overlord momentum" of La Liga. The four consecutive decisive rivals Real Madrid made Barcelona fans so happy. They first won the Spanish Super League Cup, then defeated Real Madrid and won the King's Cup. Now they are 7 points ahead of Real Madrid in the league, just one step away from the La Liga championship. They coached Barcelona for the first time and are about to get the championship. The record is still quite domineering. The only imperfection is that they lost to Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals and missed the opportunity to compete for the Big Ear Cup. This result also made the competition for the Golden Globes this year's Golden Globe Awards suspense.

Rafinia, the number one scorer in the Champions League this season, once dominated the list in the Golden Balls competition, but was eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals and fell directly to third place, ranking behind Dembele in Paris Grande and the genius Yamal. However, the performance of the Brazilian winger this season has reached the peak of his career, which has also made Barcelona's senior management very moved. He originally planned to sell it, but now he has sent him a contract extension early. According to Spanish media World Sports, the two sides have basically reached an agreement on the issue of renewal. The 29-year-old Brazilian will receive an annual salary of about 15 million euros (basic annual salary + bonus). The contract period is until June 2029, the annual salary of the old contract will be 12 million euros. After a slight increase in salary, it will become the third highest salary in the team after Lewandowski and De Jong. When the contract expires, Rafinia will be nearly 33 years old. He will leave the best time of his career at Camp Nou.

Rafinia's journey in Barcelona was not smooth. She once became the team's "marginal person for sale". Now she is "an unshakable left-wing killer". Head coach Frick has keen eyes and has "exploded" her, and only after she has achieved her current achievements. In the summer of 2022, the Brazilian winger joined Barcelona from Leeds United for a high price of 58 million euros, and he was highly expected at that time. However, his performance in the first two seasons can only be considered on the verge of passing. He played as the right winger and played in a total of 87 games for the team, scoring 20 goals and 23 assists. He is not the core player of the team. Due to the team's financial pressure, Barcelona senior executives plan to sell it to Saudi Arabia or Premier League teams at a high price.

But with Frick's arrival, everything changed. The German coach directly changed Rafinia, who played the right winger, into a left winger, forming a new "trident" with Lewandowski and Yamal. The three people have a clear division of labor: Lewandowski is in the middle, Yamal attacks the right side, and Rafinia is cruising on the left, waiting for opportunities to cut in, grab points, and shoot long shots, and fight omnipotently. This explosive change instantly opened up the Brazilian Ren and Du meridians.

So far this season, Rafinia has played 54 games and started 50 times in various competitions, hitting 34 goals and 22 assists, directly creating 56 goals, with amazing efficiency! What is even more surprising is that the style he showed in the left winger position seemed to have a bit of the shadow of Ronaldo's "virtual left and true" at that time.

It is precisely because of Frick's "turning stones into gold" that his value is now evaluated by the German website at 80 million euros, which also makes Rafinia one of the popular candidates in the Golden Globe Awards (for the first time in his career), standing side by side with Yamal, Salah, Dembele and others. Whether he can win the Golden Ball Award in the end, he still has to hope to eliminate his Inter Milan and win the Champions League. In this way, Rafinia will have a higher chance of laughing to the end.
