Leeds winger Raphinha delighted playing for Tite and Bielsa

Leeds United winger Raphinha is delighted playing for Brazil coach Tite.

Raphinha has helped Brazil reach the 2022 World Cup after a late call-up to their qualifying campaign.

He told AS: "Tite is a great person. An exemplary professional with a lot of wisdom. He asks me to do what I'm doing at Leeds. Adding some other detail. He gives us the freedom to feel comfortable playing with our style."

Raphinha also said of Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa: "From my first days at the club, I already saw how special Bielsa was.

"He is a guy who works a lot, who knows a lot about football. He is the typical professional who dedicates 100% of his time to the institution he represents and we are very lucky that he is our coach. He knows how to get the most out of each one of us. This makes us raise our level."
