21. RAFAEL

Birthdate: 09 Jul 1990
Birthplace: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Position: Right back
Appearances: 28
Goals: 1
Joined United: 01 Jul 2008
United Debut: 17 Aug 2008 v Newcastle (H)
International: Brazil

Rafael was born in Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro, and is very much a modern full-back; he loves to bombard down the right flank - but he's not all just Brazilian flair, he's made of tough stuff.

Rafael, who like his twin brother Fabio is a Brazilian youth international, was a somewhat surprise inclusion in the Reds' starting line-up at Peterborough on 4 August 2008 in Barry Fry's testimonial match. Talk about taking your chance when it comes. Sir Alex described the 18-year-old's performance as "a sensation".

Finally, it was the end of one long journey from his former Brazilian club
Fluminense, and the start of a new one with United.

What made Rafael's debut all the more startling was that he hadn't played for over a year. The Reds had been waiting for international clearance on the pair's transfer from Brazil, so they had been unable to play for United during that time and, in fact, didn't play any regular competitive football.

You would never have guessed it. Rafael was tearing up and down the right touchline - perhaps exerting 12 months of frustration - throwing himself into tackles and getting forward to aid United's attacks in equal measure.
"It was a real eye opener for us," said a beaming Sir Alex. "He hadn't played for a year but he's played a full 90 minutes today. You know what football is like. Sometimes it turns up some star, a little nugget maybe. On the evidence of tonight I think we've got a good player here."

Both brothers were spotted by Les Kershaw, then Academy Manager, in the summer of 2005 while playing for Fluminense in a Hong Kong youth tournament.

The patience shown to wait for this chance with United suggests that Rafael will be undaunted by the challenges ahead, and his ten-minute cameo on his competitive debut
against Newcastle appeared to back up that claim, as did his first goal in a red shirt - a stunning last-minute volley in the defeat at Arsenal in November 2008.

He quickly began stringing together top-level performances, displacing fit-again club captain Gary Neville and England international Wes Brown at various stages of the campaign. Rafael has coped with high pressure matches with a calm which belies his tender years, indicating that a very bright future awaits this young man.

Sir Alex Ferguson clearly sees the Brazilian as a big part of his future plans, and he handed Rafael a two-year contract extension before the defender had even completed his first season in England. “Everyone at the club has been very impressed and excited by his first year as a professional," said the United manager, before adding: "His enthusiasm and the adventurous way he plays is typical of a Manchester United player."

Rafael ended his debut season with a nomination for the PFA Young Player of the Year award, and a place on the bench in the Champions League final, just a year after watching from the stands in Moscow.

ane bner2 suka neh pemain bro.... semangat tempurnya luar biasa, duel ma lawan yg lebih mentereng namanya ga keder sedikitpun, blm umpan2 crossingnya yg yahud..TOP DAH!!

Aku juga suka nih sama Da Silva bersaudara. khusus untuk Rafael aku yakin doi bakalan jadi the next cafu di brazil. dan klo nggak sering-sering cedera bisa nggusur O'shea, Neville, dan Brown secara permanen disisi kanan pertahanan MU.

Klo masalah naluri dan kemampuan menyerang jelas nggak ada yang ngeraguin kemampuan dan bakatnya, tapi untuk naluri bertahan musti ditingkatkan lagi...

Ini ada tulisan di beberapa media tentang pendapat Eric Harisson (mantan pelatih junior MU yang memoles Giggs, Beckham, dkk pas junior) tentang Rafael.

Former Manchester United Youth Coach Considers Rafael da Silva A Right-Sided Giggs

Eric Harrison believes Ferguson is right to have faith in his youth...
5 Aug 2009 15:15:23 - Goal.com



Former Manchester United youth coach Eric Harrison has spoken out regarding some of the club's top young talent, including Rafael da Silva, who he believes could become a right-sided version of Ryan Giggs.

Promising Manchester United youths such as Federico Macheda, Fabio da Silva and Rafael, are on the cusp of further first-team treatment next term, and Harrison believes Sir Alex Ferguson is right to maintain the faith in the fledglings coming through.

Harrison has earmarked Macheda as a player capable of making a big impact, while Rafael, he feels, should be groomed to be a right-sided winger.

Harrison explained to The Manchester Evening News, "Federico Macheda will make a big impact. You only have to look at him to see that he has got bags of bottle.

"He'll take to the Premier League like a duck to water. And when I look at Rafael de Silva I see a young Ryan Giggs. He's so graceful when he's running with the ball at his feet.

"I see him more one day in the Aaron Lennon role rather than an orthodox full-back because he's almost unstoppable when he starts running at defenders."

Gimana menurut pendapat temen-temen? klo menurutku sih Rafael lebih baik jadi bek sayap coz dia punya kemampuan bertahan (meski blom bagus-bagus amat) dan naluri menyerang yang bagus. Ya seperti Maicon dan Dani Alves dah... Tinggal moles kemampuan bertahannya aja ntar MU bakalan punya bek sayap terbaik di dunia,he...

[elwandi]

Masih seumuran ue tu.. hahah

[K3nny_11]

kalo pendapat gwe, RAFAEL sama skali ga masalah tuk diposisikan sebagai winger... abis, doi punya pace yang super dashyat, meski bertubuh imut.... bisa jadi saingan Messi di near future neyyy.......

Rafael yang Salah, Fabio yang Dikartu

Manchester - Rafael Da Silva dan Fabio Da Silva punya sosok bak pinang dibelah dua. Saking miripnya mereka satu sama lain, wasit bahkan bisa sampai salah memberi kartu.

Rafael dan Fabio adalah sepasang saudara kembar identik yang sama-sama beroperasi di sektor pertahanan Manchester United. Nah, Chris Foy yang menjadi pengadil lapangan laga Barnsley kontra MU rupanya juga sulit membedakan mereka.

Alhasil, dalam sebuah kesempatan di dalam pertandingan, Rabu (28/10/2009) WIB, Foy salah memberikan kartu kuning. Atas pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh Rafael, si wasit justru mengacungkan kartu untuk Fabio.

Kejadian tersebut terjadi di sepuluh menit terakhir pertandingan, ketika Rafael yang mengenakan kaos nomor 21 dan Fabio yang berbalut kostum nomor 20 sama-sama menekel pemain lawan, Jamal Campbell-Ryce. Pelanggaran lantas terlihat dilakukan oleh Rafael dan bukannya Fabio.

Atas kesalahan Foy tersebut, 'Setan Merah' kini sedang berupaya agar hukuman kartu tersebut bisa dialihkan FA kepada Rafael yang memang melakukan pelanggaran.

"Kami sedang berdiskusi dengan FA dan kami sudah menegaskan bahwa kami pikir ofisial sudah membuat kesalahan," kata juru bicara MU Phil Townsend di Daily Star.
