side by side, right, as players, you're saying Vini is a better player than Rafinha, skill-wise, his skill set.
he has more to his game in terms of the skill set than say, for example, Rafinha.
And think about the trajectory of the careers of both of these players, where Rafinha was on his way out of Barcelona, was not wanted.
They were looking for somebody else.
So he has every reason to be upset about the Barcelona board, coaches, whoever was making decisions, fans that were pushing him out.
And yet he has been able to take all of that and turn it into a positive to where he is now the leader of the team, team captain, surrounding himself with players that support him and he supports the player, leading the team by example, going and pressing the ball, chasing players and chasing Vinny Jr.
as he did in the Supercopa de EspaΓ±a.
And so you see that and then contrast it to
the other player, in this case, Vinny, and you kind of go, he's not better than him, and yet he is getting so much more out of what he has available than this guy is.
And a lot of it has to do with attitude, with mindset, with heart, with soul, with the fact that the guys around you want to be around you.
They want to build a stage from where you can perform.
Whereas this guy over here is like, well, it's either my stage or it's nobody else's stage.
And so, and again, those are things that we can see right in front of us.
And you can see positive influence and negative influence.
I don't know if that's the way that it plays out in the locker room, but it's certainly the way that we perceive it from the outside.
And I don't know what... The other thing that they have going against them is that the other teams are not standing still.
