Maxi Araújo reveals the ‘duty’ he feels at Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Marseille 2-1 on the night of last Wednesday, October 22. At the end of the match, Maxi Araújo commented on the Lions’ performance, highlighting the team’s attitude and what he considers to be his ‘duty’ in service of the Alvalade club.

“I think it was a great game from the whole team, we fought until the end and that was reflected in the result. Congratulations to those who came on because they were the ones who decided the game, and this is Sporting, fighting until the end alongside our people. We have to give everything for this shirt,” he began, speaking to Sport TV.

“What the coach asked is what he always asks of us, they had one player less and we had to be patient. We knew the goal would come and it came when it had to because we went after it. They played more on the counterattack because they had one less, but we went after the goal from the first minute of the second half and fought until the end to achieve our objective,” said Maxi Araújo.

Furthermore, Sporting’s number 20 was pleased with his performance: “I always give my all because I train and play at my maximum. I always give my all because that’s who I am, I’m a player who likes to give everything for the club, for my teammates, for myself, and I think it’s beautiful when people recognize that, because you work hard for this and I think today both I and the team did very well and fought until the end.”

“For me it’s a source of pride, because since I arrived I’ve been welcomed incredibly, both by my teammates and the club. I arrived at a huge club and this club obliges you to always win, to give everything in every game, I think I’ve always done that since I arrived and I’ll do it until the day I’m no longer here,” concluded the Uruguayan.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Maxi Araújo – valued at 17 million euros – has played nine matches. Over the 609 minutes in which he has been used by Rui Borges, the Uruguayan international has yet to score, but he has already provided one assist.
