“It would be tremendous to win LaLiga because they gave us up for dead”

BARCELONA, 6 Apr. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The FC Barcelona player Ronald Araújo has assured that it would be “tremendous” to be able to win LaLiga Santander this season, something that has been in his hands since Monday, after they were “for dead” some time ago.

“I hope we can win what we have left, the Cup and the League, which would be something tremendous to be able to win it because they left us for dead. It would be good for the good of all to win the double,” he said in an interview on the program ‘Què t ‘hi you play!’ of the SER collected by Europa Press.

Araújo, close to recovering and returning to the team, believes that the group is “very well.” “We knew that together we could move this forward. We got closer together, we had talks with the referents and the captains, we knew that good results were going to come together. It is bearing fruit and I hope it continues like this and to be able to win,” he predicted.

“I’m fine with the ankle. It cost a bit because we hurried, me too. The desire to help the team made me resent it. Now I’m better,” he explained about his injury.

On his arrival at Barça, he highlighted the shock that it was for him to see that the ball “was going at 200 per hour”. “But I didn’t get depressed or it took away my illusion, I got used to the philosophy and now I understand the position game, knowing that there is much to learn,” he said.

“It was something tremendous, unexpected. I came from a team like Boston River and going straight to Barcelona is very difficult, you usually go to a big Uruguayan before going to Europe. It was a tremendous step, from bottom to top and without scale. thank you for that, “he commented on his signing.

“I came without knowing I was coming to Barça. They told me I was coming to Europe but they didn’t tell me which team. I was already excited about crossing the pond. And when they told me it was Barça, it was a tremendous joy and I didn’t know how react, “he added in this regard.

Now, he wants to succeed and, among others, has as a reference to Carles Puyol. “Many people perhaps compare our stories, something about football. For me it is a pride, because he is an idol and a reference in the club. But I know that I have to make my career, hopefully I can do a little of what ‘Puyi’ did. in the club, “he was honest.

He is also clear that he wants Ronald Koeman and Leo Messi to continue. “I hope Messi stays, he is an excellent person and a great captain. He is a benchmark, and it is difficult to see Messi with another shirt. Messi is Barça. I believe and I want him to stay with us,” he said.

“Koeman is doing a great job, he knows how to be in command of Barça and if he is there for another year, even more,” concluded the Uruguayan center-back, who arrived at Barça B in 2018 and is already established, this season, in the first team .
