Brazil coach Dorival Jr has confirmed that Barcelona forward Raphinha has been handed penalty-taking duties for the national team.
Raphinha, who scored a brilliant free-kick in a 1-1 draw against Venezuela last time out, has been handed the responsibility after Vinicius Jr missed from the spot during that game.
Here’s what Dorival Jr had to say at his pre-match press conference.
“Raphinha and Vini were prepared for the penalties. It ended up happening that he (Vini) took the penalty, and if there is a penalty tomorrow, Raphinha will be the one taking it.
