New Liverpool signing Ronald Araujo has said that he is motivated to make an impact at the club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Highlighting Virgil van Dijk as a central figure of inspiration, Araujo revealed that he expects the veteran centre-back to be an ideal mentor for his upcoming transition to the EPL.
The Uruguayan added that his new Dutch teammate has long been a figure he has looked up to from afar.
His words, “We all know what a great player Virgil is. He’s a real reference point for the team and he’s a kind of role model and reference for me personally as well. I’m looking forward to lining up alongside him hopefully and spending time with him both on the field and off it as well.
I am excited to have that opportunity and enjoy learning from him, playing alongside him. With hard work, I think we can achieve good things together as a partnership and as a defence.
It happened really, really quickly, to be honest with you. It’s a huge thanks to Liverpool for making that process so quick and for getting in touch and for their interest. I had a conversation with the sporting director and also the coach. I had no doubts for a second about coming here.
It’s a great club, a great institution and it’s a great opportunity for me to enjoy my football here. I can’t wait to get out on the field and start enjoying myself.
No doubt at all. I think my attributes will suit this league down to the ground. I think the style of play in the English league should be perfect for my qualities as a player. It’s a league I’ve wanted to play in for a long time. It’s very, very competitive and some say – and why not? – it’s the best league in the world. So, I’m full of excitement, I’m full of hope, really wanting to get started, for sure.”
