Enrique Araujo disappeared from the Benfica first team squad (he hasn’t played since August 30, when he defeated Pacos de Ferreira 3-2 in the league), and the perception that the young winger was only 20 began to form immediately. years. old, lost the race in the preferences of Roger Schmidt, but the reality is different (see related news).
Two former Benfica players appreciated the striker and what else he can bring to the team.
Joao Alves:
“Enrique Araujo has a lot of talent and is at the age where he needs to reach his full potential. If you are playing, you are already halfway there; without playing, it naturally becomes more difficult. The big problem is that they can only play 11 and when there are others with great abilities in the team… Judging from what I saw about him, he got into situations where it was necessary to decide games, and he did well, he did it. do not blame responsibility. It will depend on how the team wants to play, but given their talent, I think they use one or two striker tactics. He needs to play to explode, but in the future he will be one of our great strikers.”
Cesar Brito:
“Enrique Araujo is a very good player, a very good striker. I saw the game he was playing now when he came with the under-21 team here in Covilhã. [particular, frente à Geórgia e que Portugal venceu por 4-1], I didn’t play a great game, however, but I still scored one of the goals. Enrique has great potential, I really like him. I spoke to Pauleta, who told me something; it has something of him! From Paula. He plays a lot in the delimitation, in the offside limit. This one won’t let you down, it will be an ace! Naturally, he needs to play longer, but I think that when they decide to throw him more often, it will do the trick.
