Brazilian striker Hafinha (28, Barcelona) expressed his discomfort when he saw the name of the player who is rumored to be transferred on his uniform.

Hafinha held a press conference on the 23rd ahead of the third round of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League (UCL) phase against Bayern Munich (Germany) at Estadio Olimpico in Barcelona, Spain, at 4 a.m. on the 24th (Korea time).

At the meeting, Hafinha was asked a question related to Nico Williams (aged 22, Athletic Bilbao) of Spain, who has strong connection with Barcelona. Williams is the winger that Barcelona wants. He also needs to compete with Hafinha.

Williams was widely rumored to be transferred to Barcelona this summer. A content creator posted on his social media a uniform with Hafinya's number 11 and Williams' name on it.

After seeing this, Hafinha posted several forced smile emojis on his SNS account, expressing his discomfort. In fact, Barcelona put Hafinha on the list to get Williams.

"When it came to Niko Williams uniforms, it was a joke without dignity," Hafinha said. "We have to respect the players of the club. It was a lack of respect for my job. But people do what they want."
"It wasn't something special that made my start of the season better," Hafinya said. "I've come to face this season with a different mentality. I've learned that you need to play in various positions to play for this club," he said. "If I used to make 100% effort, now I'm making 200% effort."

Hafinha joined Barcelona from Leeds United in 2020. It is Hafinha, who has been considered a transfer target despite his not bad performance since then.

Regarding facing Bayern Munich, where Kim Min-jae plays, Hafinha said, "We are trying to improve every day, every game. This is a very important week and a special week," vowing, "If we want to play like Barcelona, we have to be ready."

Hafinha, who reiterated the match against Bayern Munich as "a very important and special game," added, "We are not thinking of revenge, but we want three points."

Hafinya has been performing at its best early this season. He has had six goals and eight assists in a total of 12 matches, including five goals and seven assists in 10 league matches, and is thus exerting tremendous influence on his team's performance.

He is about to play in his 100th match in Barcelona. "The trust I receive from coaches and teammates is very important to me," he said. "I am always ready to learn."

Hafinya, who was included in this season's four captain's group, said, "It makes me feel very proud to wear the captain's armband not only in the stadium, but also outside the stadium and in the dressing room," adding, "It is my role to listen to everyone and help everyone as much as possible."

"I'm always ready for my teammates, and being a captain is a happy and touching thing," he added, expressing pride in himself as the core of the team. 먹튀검증
