'I don't think it's fair' - Joan Laporta blasts criticism of Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo
"He gives his all on the pitch, he's our captain, and now he needs to overcome this moment because he's a very emotional person with strong feelings. He's had a tough time, and from Andorra, I want to tell him that we're with him, that he needs to move on, because here we all win and we all lose, and no one person is solely responsible for the defeats or the victories."
""The team showed character despite playing with 10 men. Regarding the sending-off: the first card was very harsh, and then that play left us with 10. I want to, in a way, encourage and defend Araujo. He has been heavily criticized, and I don't think it's fair," he told reporters. "He gives his all on the pitch, he's our captain, and now he needs to overcome this moment because he's a very emotional person with strong feelings."
Araujo was sent off after a sequence in which the first card was judged very harsh and a subsequent play reduced the side to ten men. The team displayed character while playing a man down. The speaker defended Araujo against heavy criticism and urged encouragement and support. Araujo gives his all on the pitch and serves as captain. He is described as very emotional with strong feelings and has been going through a tough time. From Andorra the speaker expressed solidarity and reminded that wins and losses are collective, not the responsibility of a single player.
