Araújo As 'covered' of Óscar Hernández
It is important to remember that the Barça has not found a solid player in the position from the exit of Dani Alves, since so much Sergiño Dest like Héctor Bellerín, Julián Araujo and Sergi Roberto have not convinced to the technician in these last years. It is thus that the 'charrúa' began to work by the side in the commitments of greater difficulty.
