"Saying goodbye to the best club in the world is always difficult"

"It's normal that when you are playing and feeling so good in the best club in the world, it is always difficult to say goodbye. The same thing happens when you feel so good, but you know that it is going to be difficult to get the opportunities you want. Feeling how I feel, the best thing I could do was to look for a new opportunity at another club," the midfielder explained.

The former Barca player said he can play "both in the middle and on the wing", although he clarified that it will be Fran Escribá who decides where he plays: "I am prepared to play on the wing, forward or left back."

He did not want to set Europe as his target because "Every game is going to be a war, La Liga is very difficult, as we have shown with Barcelona", although he assumes that with the talent that Celta have, they can do "big things".

We have to go slowly and then get more excited," Rafinha insisted, for whom the promising start of the Celta course - defeat against Real Madrid, victory against Valencia and a draw with Sevilla at home - was key for him to decide to return to Balaidos.

"I have seen all the games and it has been one of the reasons for wanting to come here, because of the way we are playing and the idea that the coach has. For me it is very nice to see how they play, how they want the ball, how to attack and defend. I really want to be on the pitch", he stated.
