Difference is that Araujo is Right CB and right footed while Inigo is Left CB and left footed. Hansi prefer his CBs to be one right footed and another left footed.
His wage is crazy tho for him to just be a “supersub” and he is also is too good for that imo. I think we should off load him next summer and buy a cheaper alternative who can be that supersub
If fdj plays pedri is forced to play upfront more like cam, just like in Spain and that takes away his best ability as midfielder. If I'd to choose I prefer playing pedri in deeper role rather than fdj there. Some might argue that fdj is necessary to control and slow down the game, but so far gavi in his cameos also can do that, with higher defensive intensity
I cant belive how some guys has doubt on Araujo , and can say that Inigo can take his place. When offside trap does not get well, where of Cubarsi or Inigo has the pace to recover the ball ? ( when we have to deal with Vini, Erling or Lautaro)
Cubarsi have indeed,as he shown his quality against Mbappe and Vini already. On the other side Araujo also not necessarily as great when it comes to deal with critical situation.
@@barcagelfalse in 1v1 araujo is far superior than cubarsi and inigo combined specially if you have to sprint back, no wonder if the offside trap is beaten almost every through ball has been a certain goal, therefore people are now struggling to see any defaults in defence as the offside trap is working just fine, once the opponents get used to it going to be real hard for cubarsi and inigo with all due respect as they aren’t as physical as Araujo that’s why flick appreciates araujo way more than any player in his defense
@ at the moment we don’t know how much he appreciates Araujo,since he did not recovered yet,and because of this he didn’t played a single minute under Flick. So saying he is appreciated more than anyone else ,is nothing more than speculation. What is clear ,is the fact that,Flick likes players whose are able to stick to the tactic,and on the top of it they could offer something extra. Araujo could deal with situations when pure physical power is necessary,while Cubarsi could deal with situations where a defensive intelligence needed. Tactically Cubarsi reached Araujo’s level. Since he is just 17 he easily could reach Araujo’s physical level as well. When it comes to speed Araujo’s top speed is 34,5km/ h while Cubarsi’s is 31,7 km/ h . That’s what they ever reached as fastest for a very short time. The difference is not as much as anyone is expecting. And in a short distance ,with a better reaction time and better positioning could annulling this difference easily. Also don’t forget ,Cubarsi is not at his peak,he is still developing ,his stats will still improving,while Araujo is around 25 (26 in March) ,which means he is at his peak,at his best ever form. And the top of it he would be back from a serious injury,which could effect his speed significantly! So please stop coming up with guessing and speculating,how much more important Araujo is than anyone else. We don’t even know if Araujo could deal with Flick strategy. To being the part of it,he have to have a very high awareness,also he have to be in a perfect sync with his CB pair and the rest of the defensive line as well. First let’s see if Araujo could match with those requirements. We have seen Cubarsi and Inigo to deliver matches with hardly any faults ( I mean any major faults which could create danger if penalties or cause problems because of the yellow/red cards. Cubarsi played 17 games and he have 1 (!!!!!!!!!!) yellow card in total ! One single yellow card after 17 matches ! That’s nearly a half season in the league (19 matches) ,with one single card as a CB. Araujo had 37 games last season he had a single yellow in 8 matches,double yellow in one match and 1 straight red,that’s 11 cards in 37 games ! It’s almost 1 card per 3 games ! Cubarsi and Inigo together played 33 games and they have 5 yellow combined ! Araujo alone had more than double ! And the team wasn’t playing such a risky defensive style! . So as I said ,Araujo will have a lot to learn from Cubarsi. You can be the fastest player on the planet,it still wouldn’t help for your team if you couldn’t play because of your cards. If your timing is not spot on,your positioning is not spot on ,you still can lose the race against a slower opponent,while if those are on the spot ,you can beat faster ones . It’s not a marathon,or 400 meters. Usually you run less than 50 meters.
Don't let Araujo's athleticism take away from his intelligence. We need the depth, and that's the role he'll initially have. Would he usurp Inigo or Cubarsi? Remains to be seen.
Are y’all forgetting how OP our BACK line of Balde, Christensen, Araujo and Kounde were? Would love to see a match with all of them fully fit. Obviously it would take some time for them to get used to the high line and understand Flicks system, but once they do I think this back line will thrive.
That was under Xavi who didn't use the offside trap. Flick loves to use the high-line so much,so it's difficult to imagine a centre back duo of Araujo and Christensen.
We need him in pacy games like yesterday, he’s strong, fast and good in aerial duals, basically best cb in the Barcelona squad, hope he recovers soon, we are missing him❤️💙
In an all over comparison,he is not necessarily better than Cubarsi. Especially in a type of team like Barca ,when the defenders have crucial role to bring the ball out against other high pressing teams. He is horrible when it comes to passing,especially under pressure. He is one of the ( if not THE) weakest link when it comes to passing in the whole Barca defence. If he could significantly improve that part of his play ,he could be an absolute beast.
What many people says about Peña is a bit misleading. I understand when it comes to judging a keeper,the first thing what everyone is going to check ,is the number of goals he conceded. But it’s not giving a real picture about THIS Barca team. Inigo conceded goals every single game ( or almost ever single game) . It wasn’t because of him,countless of them been disallowed. The offside trap saved him to conceding double digit of goals just in 3-4 matches ! Crvena,Madrid,Bayern and the game before ,he could end up conceding around 10 goals if not the perfect offside trap. That is not what makes the defensive line stressless. It’s putting even more pressure on them. Also the guy leaves the box often,which is great . Normally great… many times he leave the box when the defender clearly could reach the ball easily with no pressure by the opponent. And also many times he took the ball away from the defender and kick it away ( mostly out of the pitch) ,which means he gives the ball away! While if he stays inside his box ,the defender could get the ball passing to him and Barca would keep the ball,and could start to build an attack. I can’t see him to keep the starting position for long. The number of balls been giving away by him is a luxury against mid table ( or better ) teams . The team have 4 difficult games left in the UCL ,at least 3 of them are against teams which could punish us instantly after a mistake like this. It could be crucial to see what is Szcesny level at the moment . It should be crucial for the coach as well. The hard work during the training not necessarily will give the right answer . He should show himself during an official match to see is it worth to rely on him if anything happened with Inaki or not. He have high reputation,but it would be him and not his reputation who have to step up if something happens.
@@barcagel that cant be taught. its an intelligence thing to be able to pass, dribble, and make good decisions under pressure. araujo just doesnt have that unfortunately.
@@barcagel the only thing Cubarsi has over Arajuo is his passing. Apart from that he's nowhere close to being as good as Araujo. Will he become better? He has the potential to, but as of now Araujo is still the best defender in Barca (minus the passing)
Yesterday starting Fermin not Fati or Gavi on left clearly shows Flick still hasn't got the complete profile of the bench players, until this thing get sorted out we may see dropping points if regular starting 11 get slightly change especially against low block teams.
y'all really need to chill lmao. Flick is probably the best tactical manager out there, he knows every players profile he played fermin because against a midblock side like real sociedad we have to take shots from outside the box so fermin was the best option although he played bad. And wdym were gonna struglle vs lowblock sides lmao flick knows how to break down low block sides thats why we always score 4+ goals vs sides like them in the recent matches . Sh*t happens and teams loose so chill bro
@@seemasiddiqa3482 yeah but you cant play fermin with frenkie and pedri, pedri and frenkie are both controllers, fermin i'd argue is at his best on counter attacks but he isn't a winger at all, his dribbling is okay but he doesn't have the right mindset as a winger, he is more suited to play striker than winger, he needs attacking minded players around him because he excels at team plays in the final third as he has good positioning, neither frenkie or pedri are suited for that, especially frenkie who is very possession minded
Araujo will fit in perfectly and he will be a starter by the beginning of the year and thrive. It’s clear that we lack that center back with Araujo’s profile. We lack a bit of speed and physicality in the back line. Now what’s interesting is to see how it’s going to play out between Iñigo and Cubarsí. But as far as Araujo, he’s good for sure.
We need another player with a similar profile to Araujo so that he can get a bit of competition in the squad, the other cbs are mainly ball playing whereas Araujo is mostly a puyol type player. A player like Romero or a similar profile would help barca
I believe we shouldn't overthink about Araujo. He probably won't be coming back until the last 3rd of the season so its better to not think about these things. Furthermore, next season, fingers crossed if we win everything, I feel Inigo will be used from the bench or transferred out if Araujo returns...
Swithching Araujo with Inigo is not at all a bad idea considering the high line and his ball recovery .He may not be as good of a ball player as inigo has been this season but the decrease in the recovery runs that cubarsi will have to do can make up for it.I think arujo and cubarsi will be my starting pair
Lewa and gundugan said they did it too last year to bring players together more and bc xavi was about to get sacked so they might still be doing that to keep teammates close and bonding together
anyone that questions the team's need for araujo to come back probably thinks they are players in a video game lmfao. "inigo and cubarsi have been perfect so far" ok but one is 17 and the other is 33, how much more are they going to play without being rested? not to mention that if the offside trap fails somehow, araujo is the type of player that you want to track back and save the day and i dont really get the correlation to wojtek, the two situations are so so different
No, we don't. There were more 7 YT Barca channels plus ESPN plus many other channels already. Countless negative comments have been made and "supporters" who previously said Hansi Flick was the best thing that happened to Barcelona were quick to demolish him and the team they claimed they support. Sh*t happens to any team in a season, even more than once. It doesn't mean anything, it doesn't subtract anything from the extraordinary achievements we already had this season. Sh*t happens, life goes on. Don't dwell on one negative.
@@kcfues62Pedri also had a bad injury history and so far he hasn’t missed a single match. Olmo also has a very bad injury history yet every fan still loves him.
@@yo_seb5195 Good point:-) In any case, it's impossible to know who will be injured/for how long in the future. We had been VERY lucky with Lamine until now.
I think that he will be coming off the bench this half of the season. But after the Christmas break, things will be different. Araujo has had time to adapt to the team style, and that combined with his physicality makes him better than any of the other CBs in the team. I think another factor will be how Flick will choose to approach certain games. Araujo's recovery from a strikers run is unrivalled, so perhaps teams that dribble around CBs will require a player Araujo's profile.
I hope Flick talks with him and is clear about what we need from him, we don’t need him to make huge sprints and last minute tackles for the majority of games he just had to be in sync with the test of the teams pressing and movement he can’t be stubborn
Whooaa there, cowboy ! While I do see your point, you can't put Araujo and Szczesny on the same level. Their situations are totally different. Szeczesny is old, he's an outsider, unfamiliar with the club, doesn't have any bearing on the other players. Araujo is young, in his prime, he's familiar with the club, he's a leader and captain. There's no chance they will be treated in the same way.
Idk why theres so much talk about araujo and his approaching integration into this team when in past season hes almost always been our first choice CB, i think he could struggle a bit, but hes been out for a while we can only wait and see how flick works with him
Also, Cubarsi is 17. As brilliant as he's been, we still need to remember. Throw schedules into all that and I'm sure Araujo is gonna get alot of chances. With Flick, one thing is just the case. He gives no one guarantees so u can stay competitive and prove your placein the team. I believe that's gonna be the case with Araujo too. Proving himself
Cubarsi and Inigo might be better than him at build-up, but he's the strongest player in the squad. Inigo and Cubarsi have similar profiles, and Araujo is different, we need different profiles for tactical options
Aroujo is not the best passer but he knows that. Unlike some CB's he doesn't rush playing the ball when not being preesed but tends to run into space left infront of him making the pass that used to be hard easier because he is closer to them.And if you press him he will pass it to the keeper or Cubarsi.
Re: Inaki Pena, we forget that Flick watches the players in training, which probably is a lot of input from which to make these decisions. Probably he saw that Pena was killing it. It's probably why Fati doesn't get much time. It's really about how Araujo does with Flick's system in training. I think he is really great at the high line offside trap, but really, the proof is in the pudding...
Lets be real even if he was to play like that ucl game he'd still play regularly cause he still passes dominguez by far plus they were just a few dumbass mistakes and man is still class and he is still probably our fastest defend after balde if you put him into the mix
You can’t compare defenders rotation to gk. Araujo comes after an injury he will get his minutes, but slowly. Flick will probably sub him for the last 30mins of the game, so he will be engaged and could accustom to the new system. You can’t do that with a goalie
We will need araujo, inigo is doing good “currently” he aint a long term signing he was signed as a backup yes he is in form this season but we will need araujo anyhow
From some reason you avoid the fact that Roland is very weak on the ball. ⚽️ He doesn’t have the technique to be in a high defensive line because he don’t know how to move the ball forward. He is offensive liability It’s a problem 😢other than that 😊he is the best in the world. 🌎 🎉
If our team it’s exposed because our high line . Araujo is much more needed . In socidad game araujo will cover much more space and maul the forwards in front of him .
Itis not a problem,. Tucking Fermin in and not having width is a problem. Useless Fati as a sub when Pablo Torre who contributes is a problem. Not having a good CD to let Cubarsi mend is a problem
Here is the thing, I like Inigo he’s done great filling in but many times this season we’ve been reminded of why we NEED Araujo back, Inigo is 33, not old but not young either, similarly Inigo isn’t fast and at times he gets beat with pace same with Chbarsi Araujo is a physical machine who has that pace and strength we need to allow Cubarsi to push up more if needed and not feel exposed
There is not question to me about Araujo's importance to the team, when we face players Haaland or even Vini/Mbappé on a good form, few CBs like Araujo can stop them, his speed, reactivity on the dribbles and physicality are such critical points our defense lacks, we're just putting everything on the off-side trap, if we start facing more counter-pressing teams like Sociedad yesterday, we won't do much without a player of Araujo's caliber in the defense.
Araujo is the contingency plan for when the high line fails because when it does neither Inigo nor Cubarsi have the speed or athleticism to catch up to pacy strikers
Sell Christensen, Ferran and play more pablo torre as a 8 to give him more confidence and give pedri some more rest. Get a an amazing one on one creative winger who can create and score like nico or leao. Arajo is great one on one defender will be amazing when we play against a more evolved mbappe and vini. Cubarasi is playing exceptionally well and inigo has been a great mentor to him, he but also needs to take a breather take slow steps to evolve (work on his header game and become a goal threat in set pieces with inigo). Casado and cubarasi have taken up a lot of creative responsibility. We also need to manage injuries better do we need more squad rotation. I think the Sociedad game was crucial for flick to take step back and get creative with the line ups.
I wouldn’t have araujo play regularly either. Let him ease into it. Gavi is doing that. He’s going to be an everyday player eventually but don’t break something that is not broken for now
Highly doubt they all eat together EVERY day so a lunch orchestrated by him must really be to build a bond after being injured that long. Let’s not look for excuses to target Araujo for personal Agenda & Content Crave. We need him to come back + He’s still young with potential to learn our New Offside way of play.
I think cubarsi should recover of his injury and flick should give time to aurajo and let's see if he performs well If he performans well, then the formation could change hard The best position would be: 4-2-2-2 Then Pau victor could get more time too So for me it's a good thing that araujo is playing after the international break ❤
i won’t let injuries or 1 mistake change my mind on him araujo is the best cb in the world and our captain and when he returns under flick we’re gonna reach a new level also let’s not forget araujo is only 25 years old i know compared to cubarsi or yamal it’s not considered young😭 but he is our future still.
the inigo hype needs to calm down. Araujo is easily better than him and when he is fit he is top 4 in the starting eleven. Like, are you kidding me? how could anyone doubt him, after hes been fantastic anytime hes been on the pitch
This isn't even a topic or debate to be had. Inigo is doing well atm but he isn't going to be there for very long, meaning his age. Araujo may not come in right away for obvious reasons. No injured player would just walk back into a team immediately unless the coach is desperate. That back lines future is Balde Cubarsi Araujo and Kounde.
You left out his renewal as an issue. Araujo has not agreed to renew, and hasn’t even responded to the offer. If he looks like he will run out his contract and leave for free, he will ride the bench.
Leporta will not sacrifice future for one or 2 seasons. Martinez will not be at barca for long. Even he himself know that and he will be willing to remain back up. So arajuo will start after his return after he get 100 fit
Fermin has been useless for the past few matches, he doesn't attempt to press after losing the ball, he just whines on the pitch ... At this rate he will join ferran's level of hate
We need Araujo. I dont believe that Inigo and Pau will be able to keep the focus and fitness for the entire season. We need depth that can compete for starting spot
man what are you on about inigo has shown none deffensive abilities that come even close to araujo you are realy saying 3rd CB backup CB like cmon friend the dude is a fear to any attacker in the world.inigo has the experience and the mental side of the game thats all.
this video means nothing,If Araujo comes back more strong and if he can adapt to the Offside trap then this is the most useless video ever (no hate tho just told what i think and love your videos ;o)
doubting araujo is crazy.he is 10x better then inigo.araujo in a high line he has the pace to even recover.inigo and cubarsi aint that fast.cubarsi and aruajo that wud be my perfect defenders
I mean nobody expected Inigo to be as good as he is currently. One thing about the flickinator is that he brings the best out of the players.

@@Its_Your_bhai-You're joking right 😂
I hope he comes back rreally strong
Inigo is 33, Arujo is the future he isn't going anywhere. Almost everyone improved under Flickinator so will Arujo
I believe we shouldn't overthink about Araujo. He probably won't be coming back until the last 3rd of the season so its better to not think about these things. Furthermore, next season, fingers crossed if we win everything, I feel Inigo will be used from the bench or transferred out if Araujo returns...
Fdj is a big game player he brings calmness which is crucial in physical and fast matches
Inigo is older and Araujo could obviously improve just like Inigo and Kounde did.
Swithching Araujo with Inigo is not at all a bad idea considering the high line and his ball recovery .He may not be as good of a ball player as inigo has been this season but the decrease in the recovery runs that cubarsi will have to do can make up for it.I think arujo and cubarsi will be my starting pair
Naw, Inigo and Araujo all the way
Against Sociedad Peña was pretty good, came off his line well ans made big saves to keep it at 1-0
Lewa and gundugan said they did it too last year to bring players together more and bc xavi was about to get sacked so they might still be doing that to keep teammates close and bonding together
Robby Lou I really like your video it inspires me and like you I’ve been a Barca fan since 2023
The starting 11 has to be tired with the style of play under Flick so we really need the squad depth which isn't available right now
Inigo is 33. Os i dont think there needs to be an argument over whether we still need Araujo or not.
anyone that questions the team's need for araujo to come back probably thinks they are players in a video game lmfao. "inigo and cubarsi have been perfect so far" ok but one is 17 and the other is 33, how much more are they going to play without being rested? not to mention that if the offside trap fails somehow, araujo is the type of player that you want to track back and save the day
and i dont really get the correlation to wojtek, the two situations are so so different
No we need to talk about the trainwreck of a match yesterday
No, we don't. There were more 7 YT Barca channels plus ESPN plus many other channels already. Countless negative comments have been made and "supporters" who previously said Hansi Flick was the best thing that happened to Barcelona were quick to demolish him and the team they claimed they support. Sh*t happens to any team in a season, even more than once. It doesn't mean anything, it doesn't subtract anything from the extraordinary achievements we already had this season. Sh*t happens, life goes on. Don't dwell on one negative.
@@edy3569 Yeah it just wasn't Barca's day. I'm sure Hansi and the players will learn from this and move on.

@@mabdullahmalik4943 Yes... So he's (almost always) great when he's not injured, but...
@@kcfues62Pedri also had a bad injury history and so far he hasn’t missed a single match. Olmo also has a very bad injury history yet every fan still loves him.
@@yo_seb5195 Good point:-) In any case, it's impossible to know who will be injured/for how long in the future. We had been VERY lucky with Lamine until now.
Yes him and Christesen is fit, but they have conflict going on with Barca board regarding contract extention and salary. That's why
I think that he will be coming off the bench this half of the season. But after the Christmas break, things will be different. Araujo has had time to adapt to the team style, and that combined with his physicality makes him better than any of the other CBs in the team. I think another factor will be how Flick will choose to approach certain games. Araujo's recovery from a strikers run is unrivalled, so perhaps teams that dribble around CBs will require a player Araujo's profile.
I hope Flick talks with him and is clear about what we need from him, we don’t need him to make huge sprints and last minute tackles for the majority of games he just had to be in sync with the test of the teams pressing and movement he can’t be stubborn
Inaiki earned his spot, he has been brilliant not just GOOD , miles better than the main goalie
Whooaa there, cowboy !
While I do see your point, you can't put Araujo and Szczesny on the same level. Their situations are totally different.
Szeczesny is old, he's an outsider, unfamiliar with the club, doesn't have any bearing on the other players.
Araujo is young, in his prime, he's familiar with the club, he's a leader and captain.
There's no chance they will be treated in the same way.
Shoutout to Robby for pronouncing the ú in Araújo correctly every dang time
Idk why theres so much talk about araujo and his approaching integration into this team when in past season hes almost always been our first choice CB, i think he could struggle a bit, but hes been out for a while we can only wait and see how flick works with him
Also, Cubarsi is 17. As brilliant as he's been, we still need to remember. Throw schedules into all that and I'm sure Araujo is gonna get alot of chances. With Flick, one thing is just the case. He gives no one guarantees so u can stay competitive and prove your placein the team. I believe that's gonna be the case with Araujo too. Proving himself
Cubarsi and Inigo might be better than him at build-up, but he's the strongest player in the squad. Inigo and Cubarsi have similar profiles, and Araujo is different, we need different profiles for tactical options
Aroujo is not the best passer but he knows that. Unlike some CB's he doesn't rush playing the ball when not being preesed but tends to run into space left infront of him making the pass that used to be hard easier because he is closer to them.And if you press him he will pass it to the keeper or Cubarsi.
Re: Inaki Pena, we forget that Flick watches the players in training, which probably is a lot of input from which to make these decisions. Probably he saw that Pena was killing it. It's probably why Fati doesn't get much time. It's really about how Araujo does with Flick's system in training. I think he is really great at the high line offside trap, but really, the proof is in the pudding...
Lets be real even if he was to play like that ucl game he'd still play regularly cause he still passes dominguez by far plus they were just a few dumbass mistakes and man is still class and he is still probably our fastest defend after balde if you put him into the mix
You can’t compare defenders rotation to gk. Araujo comes after an injury he will get his minutes, but slowly. Flick will probably sub him for the last 30mins of the game, so he will be engaged and could accustom to the new system. You can’t do that with a goalie
We will need araujo, inigo is doing good “currently” he aint a long term signing he was signed as a backup yes he is in form this season but we will need araujo anyhow
In any case, there is no way that he would accept anything less than a guaranteed starting role every week IF (when...?) he is not injured.
From some reason you avoid the fact that Roland is very weak on the ball. ⚽️ He doesn’t have the technique to be in a high defensive line because he don’t know how to move the ball forward. He is offensive liability It’s a problem 😢other than that 😊he is the best in the world. 🌎 🎉
He's actually not that bad. He MASSIVELY improved on the ball. Under Xavi, he put a lot of accurate long balls from the back. Not as good as Inigo tho
If our team it’s exposed because our high line . Araujo is much more needed .
In socidad game araujo will cover much more space and maul the forwards in front of him .
Itis not a problem,. Tucking Fermin in and not having width is a problem. Useless Fati as a sub when Pablo Torre who contributes is a problem. Not having a good CD to let Cubarsi mend is a problem
I was watching the video… voice sounded familiar. 😮Didn’t realize it was you! Automatically followed cuh
Here is the thing, I like Inigo he’s done great filling in but many times this season we’ve been reminded of why we NEED Araujo back, Inigo is 33, not old but not young either, similarly Inigo isn’t fast and at times he gets beat with pace same with Chbarsi Araujo is a physical machine who has that pace and strength we need to allow Cubarsi to push up more if needed and not feel exposed
There is not question to me about Araujo's importance to the team, when we face players Haaland or even Vini/Mbappé on a good form, few CBs like Araujo can stop them, his speed, reactivity on the dribbles and physicality are such critical points our defense lacks, we're just putting everything on the off-side trap, if we start facing more counter-pressing teams like Sociedad yesterday, we won't do much without a player of Araujo's caliber in the defense.
Araujo is the contingency plan for when the high line fails because when it does neither Inigo nor Cubarsi have the speed or athleticism to catch up to pacy strikers
Sell Christensen, Ferran and play more pablo torre as a 8 to give him more confidence and give pedri some more rest. Get a an amazing one on one creative winger who can create and score like nico or leao. Arajo is great one on one defender will be amazing when we play against a more evolved mbappe and vini. Cubarasi is playing exceptionally well and inigo has been a great mentor to him, he but also needs to take a breather take slow steps to evolve (work on his header game and become a goal threat in set pieces with inigo). Casado and cubarasi have taken up a lot of creative responsibility. We also need to manage injuries better do we need more squad rotation. I think the Sociedad game was crucial for flick to take step back and get creative with the line ups.
I don't think Araujo is smart when it comes to offside trap anyway let's see how he will do i hope he proves me wrong
All i know is when Araujo returns he'll be the best defender in the world
I don't want him to leave at all
Hear me out. Inigo and Araujo as our cb pairing and Cubarsi at dm🤷🏻♂️
I wouldn’t have araujo play regularly either. Let him ease into it. Gavi is doing that. He’s going to be an everyday player eventually but don’t break something that is not broken for now
Highly doubt they all eat together EVERY day so a lunch orchestrated by him must really be to build a bond after being injured that long. Let’s not look for excuses to target Araujo for personal Agenda & Content Crave. We need him to come back + He’s still young with potential to learn our New Offside way of play.
we need to talk about frenkie
We need a backup winger and next striker after Lewa
I think cubarsi should recover of his injury and flick should give time to aurajo and let's see if he performs well
If he performans well, then the formation could change hard
The best position would be: 4-2-2-2
Then Pau victor could get more time too
So for me it's a good thing that araujo is playing after the international break ❤
Araujo walks straight in the XI after 2/3 games
i won’t let injuries or 1 mistake change my mind on him araujo is the best cb in the world and our captain and when he returns under flick we’re gonna reach a new level also let’s not forget araujo is only 25 years old i know compared to cubarsi or yamal it’s not considered young😭 but he is our future still.
the way you say Araujo is kinda funny, VISCA BARCA 💙❤️
Araujo should learn how to play with his mind not his power that's why he always get injured
He is our captain and still very young. And we will soon be moving on from Inigo.
Defensive intelligence over athleticism always
The only aruajo needs to improve is his ball-playing ability. Cause against psg last szn the were pressing him nd he ultimately cost us the game
But it looks like inigo is more mature than araújo. Since the beginning he never made mistake
Love your videos ❤ Unrelated, where do you get your jerseys?
We need a LW and ST asap
I think Deco was already looking into Gyokeres
@@IcySanZit's not realistic at all. Gyokeres is now wanted by a lot of big clubs. I don't think barca can give him a better offer than those clubs.
tbh we need a full back too cause after balde kounde and fort theres no one else other than that marcus alonso regen
@aaaaaaaaaa4459 The only way they get him if it's been a dream for him to play at Barca
Barca should break bank by buying gyokeres
I would like to see Inigo at left back.
Inigo Cubarsi Araujo Kounde
I don’t want Araujo to leave but if he’s gonna be a bench player he should go to another club and be the main CB
All this talking for Araujo to walk back into the starting XI.. Come back stronger mi captain 💙❤️
the inigo hype needs to calm down. Araujo is easily better than him and when he is fit he is top 4 in the starting eleven.
Like, are you kidding me? how could anyone doubt him, after hes been fantastic anytime hes been on the pitch
This isn't even a topic or debate to be had. Inigo is doing well atm but he isn't going to be there for very long, meaning his age. Araujo may not come in right away for obvious reasons. No injured player would just walk back into a team immediately unless the coach is desperate. That back lines future is Balde Cubarsi Araujo and Kounde.
You left out his renewal as an issue. Araujo has not agreed to renew, and hasn’t even responded to the offer. If he looks like he will run out his contract and leave for free, he will ride the bench.
Leporta will not sacrifice future for one or 2 seasons. Martinez will not be at barca for long. Even he himself know that and he will be willing to remain back up. So arajuo will start after his return after he get 100 fit
Fermin has been useless for the past few matches, he doesn't attempt to press after losing the ball, he just whines on the pitch ... At this rate he will join ferran's level of hate
Bro, not all year... It's all season, this season for the most part.
Very soon we'd have that conversation about FDJ
yeah. they need him
Why do English speakers feel the necessity to emphasize the U in Araujo’s name 🤔
Araujo is a better centre back than Inigo. The question is can he play a high line and pass the ball around like Inigo?
We need Araujo. I dont believe that Inigo and Pau will be able to keep the focus and fitness for the entire season. We need depth that can compete for starting spot
Lol i thought he was pronounced Arau-jo and not Ara-ujo. Apparently not
Some players labelled injured, because there are conflicts going behind the scene, it is politics kids won't be able to fathom
Politics and your pfp oh boy......
@@Zedro17 yessir
i thinks its because we werent able to register them with our ffp
Not Araújo tho. He was injured with Uruguay btw
unlike de jong, araujo is very important and passionate about the club
The tilde is not that strong. It's not "Ara-UUUUUUUUU-jo" its "araUjo", the U is just "louder". "are ow ho" is the englsihshifgivatrion of th word.
man what are you on about
inigo has shown none deffensive abilities that come even close to araujo
you are realy saying 3rd CB backup CB like cmon friend the dude is a fear to any attacker in the world.inigo has the experience and the mental side of the game thats all.
🔥 video
can araujo play as cb and cubarsi and casado as double pivot
why would cubarsi go up???
Wth . Do you watch football
Naaah!
Flick has alright disturbed this team’s rhythm with De Jong
araujo will bench both cubarsi AND inigo, will need only 2 games
1 center back formation
this video means nothing,If Araujo comes back more strong and if he can adapt to the Offside trap then this is the most useless video ever (no hate tho just told what i think and love your videos ;o)
Honestly he was the best cb in the world last season and because of 1 mistake vs psg people are switching up on him
doubting araujo is crazy.he is 10x better then inigo.araujo in a high line he has the pace to even recover.inigo and cubarsi aint that fast.cubarsi and aruajo that wud be my perfect defenders
Have you seen Cubarsi last night? That's where. The kid is amazing, but 17, can't play every game.
Imagine aurujo at Madrid 😂
He's good but he's still too reckless, his ball playing hasn't improved and hes injury prone. Barca may cash in on him
Gj pronouncing his name, bro
Bro you look like frenkie 🙂🙂🙂
Arrraaooohoe🤣
Arauuuuuho😂
This video would have only been 10 mins if you didn't keep trying to say Araujo authenticly 😂
