Ronald Araujo makes honest admission: I don’t like playing at right-back

Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo has made it pretty clear he really does not want to play at right-back but says he will sacrifice himself for the team whenever needed.

Right-back has been a problem position at Barcelona for a while, with Xavi using Araujo and Jules Kounde in the position at times.

Araujo has always done a great job, particularly when he’s come up against Vinicius Junior, but says it’s not a job he wants on a regular basis.

“The truth is, I don’t like playing as a right-back, that’s the reality, but I always say, wherever the coach and the team ask me, I’m going to play and give my best, but obviously I feel very comfortable playing as a center back because it’s my natural position and it is where I can give 100%,” he told beIN Sport.
