Ronald Araújo opens step in the juvenile power of the Barcelona

The Uruguayan youngster Ronald Araújo, of 21 years age, has turned into one of the most visible bets of the FC Barcelona of Ronald Koeman, the one who follows resorting to he for suplir a drop more than important: the one of Gerard Hammered, the one who suffered a sprain of degree 3 in the internal lateral ligament and partial injury of the ligament crossed previous of the right knee, during the party of League against the Athletic of Madrid, contested in November.

The altibajos in the performance of Lenglet and the increasingly incógnita that it represents Umtiti by his long periods of inactivity, have forced to the technician of the Catalan club to look for alternatives, that has found by obligation in Araújo and Óscar Mingueza, although the performance of the first has been more than remarkable in the central saga, to the point that already they situate it like one of the future members of the Barcelona elite.

They are many the voices that already certify it like a big promise to little to be reality, that only would need to a big companion of experience and faithful guarantee as I Hammered -or if it was possible a partner of the calibrate of Sergio Bouquets- to develop and deploy his skills to plenary. His good performance, in his performances in what it goes of League, saw certified in the duel in front of the Athletic Club, in Saint Mamés, where did not leave neither breathe to one of the attackers more punzantes of the championship: Raúl García.

Koeman Seems to smile since it arrived to the city condal, where has not had a good time in a club struck by the elimination in front of the Bayern in the Champions by 2-8, the radical decision to go out of Luis Suárez, the uncertainty on the future of Leo Messi, the fault of gunpowder of the French Antoine Griezmann, the injuries like consequence of the tightened calendar by the pandemia, the bad defence, the fault of game and goal.

However, Pedri seems to be had beside Messi to understand to bring of turn the game DNA of the Barça, Ansu Fati to add goals and Araújo to leave the skin to offer security backwards, and avoid worse whiles to the German Marc-André ter Stegen, the one who has fit until 17 so many in the present season only by League; that is to say, one by each one of the same 17 games that has contested the Barcelona.

Araújo, personality of iron

In addition to his talent, Araújo showed personality of iron when it assumed "the responsibility of the error" that committed in the goal of the Eibar, in a party that celebrated in the Camp Nou and that finished 1-1. This day, Kike García stole the ball to the Uruguayan, to the 57', when east was the last player of the team, and advanced to the visitors after surpassing to ter Stegen.

"The goal was a 'crapped' in a played very fast (...). We play very up and lose these balls is very dangerous. We committed errors by a subject of concentration", expressed after that party. But this day did not mean the sinking of the defender and, as we already know, in The Cathedral deployed security and added points in front of Koeman.
