中文介绍拉斐尔出生于里约热内卢，他是一名现代后卫；他很喜欢在右路上前参与进攻，但是他不但有巴西人的技术，他还有凶狠的防守作风。

有些球迷曾把拉斐尔和的兄弟称为“巴西内维尔”，但是直到2008年8月4日，曼联球迷才可以看到他们的演出。

拉斐尔是一名巴西青年队国脚，在谈到这位年轻球员的处子秀时，弗格森把这位18岁的小将的演出形容为“令人震惊”。

更令人感到惊讶的是，拉斐尔已经一年没有踢过比赛了。因为他们未满18岁，所以曼联必须等到他们过了18岁生日才可以让他们参加比赛，而实际上，他们已经一年没有

踢过任何正式比赛。

你也许会从来没有想到，拉斐尔在能在右路进退自如，攻守兼备的他使得曼联的右路变得更强大。

“这真的给我们大开眼界。”在拉斐尔完成处子秀后，弗格森说道：“他一年没有比赛，但是他今天踢满了90分钟。你知道足球是怎样的。有时候你会发现一些球星，天然的天才。今天我觉得我们找到了一名这样的球员。”

拉斐尔两兄弟在2005年曾代表弗卢米嫩塞到香港参加青年锦标赛。

耐心的等待使得拉斐尔终于获得机会。在2008年8月17日，他迎来了曼联正式比赛的初次上阵机会，他有望在2008/09赛季成为一名一线队常规成员。拉斐尔在曼联于11月8日作客1-2不敌阿森纳的赛事中取得个人首个英超入球.

拉斐尔作为实况足球（PES2009）中的妖人球星，有着非凡的技术，前途无量。

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

For some time fans have been aware of the "Brazilian Nevilles" as some have dubbed them, but it wasn't until 4 August 2008 that United supporters could experience the shining potential that these boys possess.

Rafael, who like his twin brother is a Brazilian youth international, was a somewhat surprise inclusion in the Reds' starting line-up against Peterborough in Barry Fry's testimonial

match at Posh's London Road ground. 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 on 17 August 2008 against Newcastle appeared to back up that claim. He looks set to be a squad regular during the 2008/09 campaign
