If I promise to only do it once, maybe you will forgive me to steal a song from the sound of music and ask, “How do you solve such a problem Ronald AraujoIntersection
On the weekend, Valencia defeated Valencia 7-1 to rest or protect him on Wednesday with difficult tests on Atlanta on Wednesday, and Araújo was not discarded: he was discarded two key reasons.
First of all, even before some ridiculous decisions wojciech szczesny When Barcelona won 5-4 in the European Champions League last week, with 5-4, but Araújo was the first place in his team to be vulnerable so far. He broke the offside line (repeatedly and repeatedly). His defense disappears either to avoid risks, or it is easy to be oppressed. His location choice is often completely wrong, and he scores a stupid goal. Benfica looked at him like a wolf and looked at the sheep: watching him enthusiastically.
Given that Barcelona’s behavior is a 25 -year -old contract, the second reason needs to be understood, especially because he decides to add Juventus in this transfer market to the second time in two seasons. public. Greater European competitors. (Bayern Munich is last year.) But Iñigomartínez In injury and a key game, Juve intends to inspire Barça to ensure that he does not insist on exporting.
They may be correct: very good. However, once the club’s business is completed, the team manager Hansi Flick immediately reminds that Araújo should not imagine that the new contract automatically means that he is occupying the “power seat” as he is. This is a shot cross the bow: said: “We want to keep in touch with you, you include JUVE’s interests into a better contract, and the board of the club moves at the speed of electricity to keep your reservation, but don’t imagine that this means that you are the surrounding boss. Don’t want Think you “my only choice … don’t imagine you can be the coast! “
This is an ideal idea of German coaches, reminding you that Flick is not satisfied with the level of competitions, decisions or concentrations of the mid -defenders.
Araújo comes from a family who is obsessed with football. His grandmother and his mother have been committed to organized football in Brazil and Uruguay. Since today, he has been living and breathing competitive movements. Barcelona, Bayern, and Juventus have been fighting for most of the past 12 months.
Araújo’s trouble is that although he is the real “power” in the club’s weapon library, it is one of the “pounds” advantages-this adjective has a star number. He is a great athlete. He is very competitive; his air ability is more important than his height. He was a fierce shovelist. Soon, in view of his childhood, he was a useful threat at the offensive end of the court.
But technology has never been his business. The ideology of “kicking from behind” in Barcelona is not the positive factor in his scout report.
In the first season of Luis Enrique responsible for LUIS Enrique, in the first season of Paris Saint-Germain, I produced him in the documentary “I Express Production” on the wall. He shared his tactical preparations Work to prepare to be his team in Montjuic’s 4-1 champion league finals in Montjuic. Luis Enrique tells us: “There is no doubt. ‘If we press them [Barça]They will play for a long time. On the right, we let Araújo come out with the ball. Whenever he does this, we will be isolated, and then we press him. “
Then, at the preliminary tactical video conference, he told PSG players: “This gentleman is Araújo. There is no doubt that this is a top football player. Close his route and press him.”
Unavoidable, as you have already guessed, Paris follows the instructions of their coaches, Bradley Barcola (Bradley Barcola) Araújo, the defender, kicked out of all rights. When the PSG broke out to a direct anti -attack, only Uruguay could commit the “last person” foul and was sent away. In general, it is 4-2. This is the end of Barcelona’s game. They defeated the game with 4-1 in the evening and defeated the game with a total of 6-4.
Last week, in Lisbon, the situation of Araújo became more difficult due to the responsibility of Flick. Their high risk, occasional high -level, very advanced defensive lines (average 50 meters away from their target lines) need to be applied ruthlessly. No defender and guardian can make mistakes, and the decline in the division of concentrated energy can make you a target, fine, red card, or indeed disaster failure.
He expressed sympathy for this whole -hearted 25 -year -old, because the request made by Flick also scared Araújo’s teammates’ life (when he was injured). The new German coach announced them for the first time in the club’s US tour last summer. But they all have time to learn, practice and absorb huge new challenges. At the same time, Araújo is undergoing a long recovery process and counterattacking fitness.
It turns out that Araújo is not a person who can watch, understand and then apply very complicated systems, without having to conduct many practical “games” trial and correction. When this poor child looks confused, at a loss and hard work to understand the chaos around him, his mistake is to Benfica.
When I interviewed Araújo last time, I was from Barcelona for a long time before this offside trap system. Way of operationHe explained his general view.
He said: “Barcelona’s philosophy is very different from the philosophy of everyone else.” “Even if I try to understand, this is like the coming of nearly 200 km/h for me!” I tried to control it … I will fail, I will be, I will I feel frustrated, I think “I don’t know if I don’t know that I can’t control the ball, I should be here!” But I will tell myself, “What I need to do is learning!”
Araújo did learn the balance of his importance. It is worthy of his tilt. For the time being, he even became a special weapon. classicHuman label Viníciusjúnior Previously, at the appropriate time, it became part of the Captain of the Barcelona.
At present, when Araújo has drilled the basic knowledge for a long time on the coaching team and research videos for a long time, he will have to accept Flick pacubarsí-Martínez’s partnership, he occasionally accepts representatives Juleskoundé In the right-back, he must get used to it again that it is like novice-this is likely to be tested by Atlanta’s cleverness and uninterrupted passing style in Wednesday’s European Champions League.
With the towering of Barcelona’s highly committed to signing Bayer Leverkusen, the upcoming contract, the right foot halftime Jonathan Tah (Jonathan Tah)I think no one can determine that Araújo may not move to Juventus or Bayern at the end of the season at the end of the season. At the same time, it returned to Araújo’s classroom: high betting, high concentration, high defense line. Whenever he looks at the leader, please pay attention to his nervous expression on his face. From now to May, his arm hopes to shout “offside” in the air.
