Maxi Araújo: "We knew the goal would come"

"What the coach asked is what he always asks us, they had one less player and we had to be patient. We knew the goal would come and it came when it had to because we looked for it. They played more on the counter-attack, because they had one less, but we went in search of 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' expressed satisfaction with the performance: "I always give my best because I train and play at my best. I always give my best because that's how 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 it's recognized, because you work hard for this and I believe today both I and the team did very well and fought until the end."

"For me, it's a pride, because since I arrived, I've been received incredibly, both by my teammates and the club. I came to a very giant club and this club demands that you always win, to give everything in every game, I believe I've always done that since I arrived and I will do so until the day I'm no longer here," concluded the Uruguayan.
