4 - Ronald Araújo

[soul24rage]

Araujo started the documentation of getting a Spanish passport so he won't take a non-EU spot.

Very good.

Good to hear. How long is it going to take?

 

[soul24rage]

^ No idea, but hopefully very soon

He had one moment at the end of the match where he started behind the attacker and showed really good pace again.

Good to see.

We're in no hurry really. With Arthur and possibly Vidal leaving we'll have two open non-EU spots even if Araujo won't get his Spanish passport before the next season starts.

 

[JamDav1982]

It was reported earlier this year that Barca expected Araujo to get his passport around October.

 

[Andresito]

Looked really passionate during the shootout, and hit a very good pen as well. Nice to see some heart.

 

[xXKonan]

Feels like he's at least 10 tiers above the likes of Mingueza, Cuenca and Chumi despite being around the same age as these guys.

Far more composed in defending and not willing to back down while Mingueza and Cuenca are soft as fuck in that regard.

He's going to be very useful vs counter attacks

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Yeah that's good but the most important thing is your agility and acceleration. Pique has great top speed too but he turns like a boat and takes long time to get up to speed. His weaknesses. It's easy to go around him while running top speed.

Araujo looks pretty agile and has very good acceleration too. Exactly what we need for this team. Most of the attacks are counters.

 

[Hardy]

he must have a nice acceleration as well since clip is 9 seconds and he closed to that striker at 0.4, so he hit 34 in a few seconds

look here also

Yeah not bad! Not to mention he bullied the attacker for the ball. Awesome. Physical horse. bBZ must be dreaming of him.

SPORT:

Ronald Araujo, in the footsteps of Varane.

Both measure 1.91m, barely exceed 90kg and have similarities such as anticipation, intelligence and speed which allows them to challenge the fastest attackers.

Everything indicates that Barca has a defender for many years.

Let us not get ahead of ourselves Sport.

That was the fastest speed clocked in La Liga by any player this season. We have the fastest player this season in La Liga and he’s a CB....... this seems weird for Barca

 

[MTL_Barca]

Top speed doesn't really matter most of the time but it looks like he has good acceleration as well so that should be helpful considering how slow the other CBs are.
