The past Monday, November 7th, the Brazilian National Team announced its list of 26 players called up for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. As in any list, there are always surprises and absentees that generate an immediate reaction from the press and fans, so a footballer has not gone unnoticed after Tite's press conference.
YOU CAN SEE: With Neymar and Vinicius, Brazil confirmed its list of 26 players called up for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The curious thing about this player is that he suffered relegation from Avaí FC alongside Paolo Guerrero. The Peruvian forward was part of the team that failed to achieve the goal of staying in the top division, so the now World Cup player regretted this situation of the team that shaped him to reach a World Cup.
This is the current forward of Barcelona, Raphinha, who developed in the base of Avaí FC and then moved abroad to reach a big club like Barcelona.
Through Avaí's social media, they proudly commented on Raphinha's call-up to the Brazilian National Team, making it clear that they are proud to have one of their youth players in a World Cup.
"To the World Cup! The forward Raphinha, raised by Avaí's youth academy, has been called up to represent Brazil in Qatar. We wish him and the entire team the best of luck in their pursuit of Hexa," wrote Avaí.
What is the value of Paolo Guerrero?
According to the "Transfermarkt" portal, Paolo Guerrero has a value of 250,000 euros at 38 years of age.
