Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa was name-checked by Brazil coach Tite after they qualified for the World Cup last night.
Victory over Colombia, with Raphinha starting, secured qualification for Qatar.
Raphinha was pictured front and centre in the Brazil changing room following last night's match, celebrating qualification and the chance to go on and win a record sixth World Cup.
Speaking after the match, manager Tite was probed on the potential selection issues he will face heading into next year's tournament.
"I'm sixty years old, [I have] forty years in football, from 16 years of age as an athlete to 27, and now I am a coach, I have experience, which shows me some things," Tite told Super Rádio Brasil post-match.
"We have to build athletes up. It serves Raphinha, Antony, Cunha, Vini and all of the young players. I think it was [Marcelo] Bielsa who said that launching an athlete is easy, launching when he is ready is the big challenge."
