Maxi Araújo deserves reward at Sporting, but work remains | OneFootball

After being one of the three players to score twice in the Sporting - AFS match, which the lions won 6-0 during the 14th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, Maxi Araújo was chosen by the Alvalade Club fans as the man of the match. At the end of the match, the Uruguayan international thanked the fans for their support and emphasized the lions' focus.

"I think the team played a great match and I am very happy because the team won. I can only say thank you to the fans because we always have a full stadium. We are aiming for the third consecutive championship and they are important in this goal," said the left-footed player in the latest 'Backstage Sporting'.

It is worth remembering that Maxi Araújo has been one of the standout players in Sporting's recent matches. Besides his performance against AFS, the 'number 20' had already been in the spotlight among the lions' fans after the derby against Benfica, during which he ended up being hit by some objects.

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Thursday, December 14, against Santa Clara, in a match related to the round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup. The match against the team led by Vasco Matos will be played at 18:45, at the opponent's ground, in the Azores.
