Araujo explains why he clashed with Vinicius in heated Copa Clasico
The Barcelona defender spoke about his coming together with the Real Madrid man
"If he focused exclusively on playing, he would be an even better footballer."
Ronald Araujo, always respectful, explained in the mixed zone why he clashed with Vinicius in the second half of the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which saw the former progress to the final 4-1 on aggregate.
The Uruguayan centre-back justified his anger with the Brazilian, although he also praised a winger against whom he has spectacular duels in every clash between Barça and Madrid.
"I got a little bit heated. He's a great player, but he should focus on playing football. If he did that, he would be an even better player. Today he was talking and fighting with all my teammates and I got heated. It's football stuff," said Araujo.
The Barça defender played down the importance of his clash with Vinicius, who was once again more focused on disputes than on the game.
On the elimination from the Copa del Rey, Ronald assured that "losing against Real Madrid always hurts," but he also pointed out that "LaLiga is our main objective and we have to go for it. From tomorrow, we have to change our mindset and think about Girona,."
