Xavi wants that Araújo was the indisputable leader of the defence of the Barça

Lionel Messi did estragos in all the defences and goalkeepers that had by in front; Xavi and Iniesta broke all the prognoses that predicted that two midfield players of his profile could not play together and to Sergio appointed him better half centre of the world. The FC Barcelona of Pep Guardiola turned into the more laureado and more admired by his game of attack. Without the possession of the balloon Leo did short efforts and Xavi and Iniesta stole balloons with careers of hardly ten metres. And the of Busquets, anyway, a show.

Likewise, the pressure post-loss of the Barcelona also happened to the history of the football. However, it is important to highlight that all this entramado tactical was possible thanks to the existence of Carles Puyol, imperial head office, admirable defence and, as we will see, the first of the attackers of one of the best teams of the history.

An extraordinary defence

Puyol Defended always proudly his job celebrating his feats like the forwards enjoy with his goals. It did it with concentration, expecting or anticipating but, almost always, without fail. His speed cancelled the one of the forwards and his courage gave him chevrons in the aerial game. Now, with 22 years, Ronald Araújo aims ways. His metre and 88 centimetres impress, even more than the 1'79 of Puyol.

The central Uruguayan also is aggressive and fast, almost infranqueable in the one against one. In Villarreal bored to Arnaut Danjumá, leading Dutch of 24 years, electrical, very fast and that goes through to live a good moment of game. Araujo Won eight duels -minutes 10, 11, 17, 25, 35, 58, 61 and 74- and only lost one -89'-, by up and by down. Also it surpassed those that had with Pedraza -32' and 36-, Estupiñán -95'- and even Capoué -11'-, very hard rival in the body to body. Besides, it completed the party without doing neither an alone fault.

A 'diamond by pulir'

However, Araújo contabiliza an error, precisely in the goal of the Villarreal. A bad service of band of Eric intercepted by Estupiñán allowed a first pass of Trigueros and a second, of Danjumá, that left only in front of the goalkeeper of the Barça to Samu, that empató the party. The grave error of the Uruguayan corresponds to the offensive surveillances of which so much speech Xavi. The team has to mark to the rival forwards to avoid that when these recover the balloon, suceda something like what saw in this minute 77. It was the tie to one. In his download, the bad service of band of his mate that left nude to all the team.

The exit of the balloon

Araújo Is used to to scare in front of the pressure, and to avoid problems, clears without more. Therefore, it is vital his progression in this sense as to Xavi Hernández likes him go out from backwards with the balloon, fact that did not achieve in the party of the Saturday. The Barcelona agrounded from backwards and was uncomfortable during all the party, perhaps the most move# away to the idea of what pretends his trainer of the three that already has directed. Now in front of the Betis, will be vital that leave to joint so much with Ter Stegen, but with his mates in the saga. It has to look to in front and connect with Sergio, Frenkie and Nico… there is not doubt of the interest of the egarense, in addition to that costs with a good specialist like Gerard Hammered to help him to occupy of the question. Araujo Is a top head office that can mark a period in can Barça. Only it has 22 years. It will depend then of Xavi, lover of the tecnificación individual, able to convince and educate to Araujo so that it step advance.
