The dressing room of FC Barcelona seems to be highly cohesive, seamless, and with a clear goal: to keep improving their performance day after day. This good chemistry gives the impression of being primarily fostered by the great locker room management of Hansi Flick, who, despite being known for being strict and disciplined like a 'sergeant,' has also shown himself to be approachable and communicative with his players.
However, the culé squad has not managed to create this harmonious atmosphere solely due to the impeccable management of the German coach, but also due to the players' willingness to do things right and even have gestures that further foster the unity of the group. In this case, the Barcelona player who made a gesture to strengthen the team's unity was one of the captains, Ronald Araújo, who, despite recovering from a physical setback (injury to the right hamstring tendon), wanted to show appreciation to his teammates.
The initiative proposed by Ronald Araújo to foster unity within the Barcelona squad
As reported by journalist Carlos Monfort through 'Jijantes,' Ronald Araújo has suggested the idea of organizing a meal after Wednesday's training session, which will mark the return of the Barcelona team to training after Hansi Flick granted two days off as a reward after a magnificent week, with convincing victories over Bayern Munich (4-1) on Wednesday (23/10) and Real Madrid (0-4) on Saturday (26/10), two strong rivals for Barcelona.
This lunch, according to the mentioned source, will take place outside the Joan Gamper Sports City, in a more informal and relaxed atmosphere. Additionally, it is unknown whether the members of the FC Barcelona coaching staff will end up attending, something that would not be surprising, as the culé team exudes only unity and good vibes, vital elements for the successful path that the sports project of the Barcelona team is taking.
This initiative stands out as a great gesture by Ronald Araújo, who, even though FC Barcelona is going through a notable defensive moment with Pau Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez forming a solid defensive pair, it is clear that the team eagerly awaits his return, as his inclusion would undoubtedly be a real relief to strengthen a defensive line with a player who, in full condition, is one of the best in the world.
However, his return will not be rushed, as he is in an advanced stage of his recovery, gradually conducting training sessions on the field at the Joan Gamper Sports City. It is expected that he will rejoin the group at the right time, possibly in mid-November, after the FIFA date, in the match against Celta de Vigo at Balaídos on November 23 in LaLiga EA Sports or in the UEFA Champions League match against Stade Brestois on November 26 in Montjuïc.
