Barça has accumulated 16 games this season in which they have left a clean sheet. A statistic that is explained by the great role, among others, of Ronald Araújo. The central is at a superlative level. Against Villarreal he was the team’s best defensive player. He completely dried up the local forwards, specifically Yeremi Pino. [Check the LaLiga table].
Regarding the magnificent defensive data, the Uruguayan defender assured that the team “is working very well in defence, it was something that we had to correct last year”, he assured, and also stressed that “we need to close the games before to have peace of mind, because if not, in the end we go back”.
“Very happy for the victory, it was important to win against a great rival. Personally, I’m happy to help the team in defense, also with a header up front. It is very important to keep adding and keep leaving a clean sheet, ”he explained.
The central continued his speech. “We’re working very well in defense, it was something we had to correct last year, I’m happy for those clean sheets, we’re all well behind, the midfield also works a lot and helps each other”, he confirmed.
In the debit, Araújo stressed that “we need to close the game when we have the opportunity to play the second to have more peace of mind. When you’re 1-0 they are one goal away and that’s why we go back in the last minutes so they don’t tie us. You have to go for the second goal before but I am happy with the victory, ”he repeated.
Lastly, the recipe for continuing to be leaders in the League is none other than “maintaining concentration and continuing to win. Make it our own, not look at what others do and continue on that path, ”he concluded.
