Rafinha, who should play in the 2nd leg as Kimmich is suspended, has been gobbing off about Niko Kovac today
Some quotes:
"Lately, the coach hasn't been fair with me. No idea why. I perform in training. It's hard for me to motivate myself. I train well, but I don't play any role. He doesn't rely on me"
" I don't know what he is thinking. I played for Heynckes, Ancelotti, Guardiola. I have no idea what the reason is. The coach knows that I will go at the end of the season. Maybe that's the reason."
"I'm sad because I was not allowed to play the fourth game in a row. I'm a good player, but I can not show it. If you do not get a minute, it's hard to be there (in the second leg against Liverpool). I hope I get minutes in the next 2 weeks. I just want to play"
Kovac does not do rotation! It'd make sense if he actually would play Rafinha at least the game before the 2nd leg, as he has played only 80 minutes of football since coming back from the winter break.
