Nonetheless, the coach is believed to have advocated for the retention of the 29-year-old, asserting that losing him would majorly impact Barcelona\u2019s attacking setup.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Ezoic - wp_under_first_paragraph - under_first_paragraph --><!-- End Ezoic - wp_under_first_paragraph - under_first_paragraph --><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since his arrival, Flick has significantly enhanced Raphinha&#8217;s role within the team.
