Michel Araujo consolidates as Ceni’s new “wild card” in his debut and should dig a vacancy among the owners of San Paolo

The midfielder on loan from Fluminense played as a winger and received praise from the manager

The first impression is the one that lasts, says an old and well-known popular saying. Well, if the rhetoric is correct, Michel Araujo has “arrived” in São Paulo. And he shouldn’t lose his status as a regular on the team any time soon.

The Uruguayan brought on loan from Fluminense made his first game in the tricolor shirt in the starting eleven. It’s over the 2-0 victory against the TigerThursday (6), edited by South American Cupas one of the highlights.

Also improvised on the left wing, Araujo showed a vertical kick, dribbling, passing and always carrying the ball forward. Super concentration for the debut, the coach Rogério Ceni guarantees the no.

– It’s not a surprise for me, but I think he did very well for a debut match, with little training – said Ceni.

In all, in the 90 minutes, Araujo was the second player of the team with more torque on the ball [71], made 35 passes and gave a decisive pass, as well as selling six of seven duels and completing two dribbles. Overall there were 16 defensive actions.

– Michel Araujo is a player I faced when I was at Flamengo and Fortaleza. He is a player I have been watching for a long time and we were happy to be able to deal with Fluminense. It’s not his original position, but he’s played that role a few times. Since Beraldo covers the spaces very well, he is able to advance a lot. Not ideal. Due to Welington’s injury, we were looking for a left-back, but unfortunately we lost Jamerson, who was a player we were interested in, completed the San Paolo coach.

Regarding his training as a winger, Ceni praised the character of the player and underlined where he sees the new reinforcement most effective.

– We are trying to balance the team. We played with an original right-back and a player who easily enters the centre, which is Michel. He is a player who plays in all positions. The forte of him are the tripod tips or even the right side, even, carrying it in with the left leg. But he is a boy who has a clean face, good will and wants to help in every way.
