If in the Holy Land Raphaelov is vaguely ignored by the team and its coach, Willy Rotensteiner, in Belgium he receives great love from the media.
'HLN' dedicated the flattering headline to him: "Heal in Wonderland" and wrote: "He had a great week. Jose Mourinho - do you already know him?", Ahead of Thursday's game against Tottenham.
The midfielder himself also referred to the meeting with the Londoners and said: "We need to be realistic about Thursday. The game starts at 0-0 and we will try to take at least one point. Hopefully we will find a way to stop them and maybe play on outbursts. A position, with an excellent coach, it will be a very nice challenge for all of us. "
On the derby victory against Beershot he added: "We knew how important this game was and I am very happy we won. Too bad we did not continue and won the third and fourth in the first half because we had the territories to do it. It is a good time for the club, The difficulties of the corona, it is very gratifying. "
