Raphinha on Ballon d’Or: I try to put it aside to focus on personal objectives in my career

Brazilian winger Raphinha has been making waves with his impressive performances this season on the pitch.

However, despite the growing attention and accolades, Raphinha remains focused on his personal objectives, refusing to get distracted by the prospect of winning the Ballon d’Or award.

Raphinha opened up about his approach to the game, revealing that he tries to put the Ballon d’Or out of his mind in order to concentrate on his individual goals.

“I try to put it aside to focus on personal objectives in my career,” he explained.

Raphinha’s approach is not to ignore the Ballon d’Or altogether, but rather to focus on the things that he can control.

He believes that if he can win all the titles available to him, the possibility of winning an individual award like the Ballon d’Or will naturally increase.

“At the end of the season, if I win all titles, the possibility of winning an individual award will be greater,” he noted.

Despite the temptation to get caught up in the hype surrounding the Ballon d’Or, Raphinha is resolute in his commitment to staying focused.

“But I don’t focus on the Ballon d’Or. No distractions,” the Barcelona star emphasised.

This tunnel vision is a key factor in Raphinha’s success, allowing him to maintain a high level of performance and achieve his goals.

As the season unfolds, Raphinha will undoubtedly continue to face scrutiny and attention from fans and pundits.

However, with his eyes fixed firmly on the prize, he will be well-equipped to handle the pressure and make a strong case for himself as one of the world’s top players.
