ISL: 5 best players in Chennaiyin FC club's history

#4 Raphael Augusto:

Conceivably the detested man in Chennai currently, Raphael Augusto’s talent and contributions cannot be written off straightforwardly because of a transfer to the fierce rivals Bengaluru FC.

The Brazilian played an integral part in the title victories under Marco Materazzi and John Gregory. The attacking midfielder was suspended was 2015 final, but came stronger two seasons later with a goal to seal the victory against Bengaluru FC in Kanteerava Stadium.

During his four-year stint with the club, Raphael Augusto made 64 appearances, while finding the back of the net on 8 occasions. With a samba spice in his game, the Brazilian won the hearts of thousands of Chennaiyin fans, before eventually shattering them.

The 28-year-old’s ability to carry the ball from the midfield to attack made him one of the feared midfielders in the league. Additionally, the strikers and wingers benefit through his sublime through balls.
