President of Emmen FC on Miguel Araujo's situation: “I would love for him to stay”

Last Tuesday, the match between Peru vs. Paraguay for the last date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, where the score was favorable 2-0 in favor of the bicolor, had a luxury guest.

This is Ronald Lubbers, president of Emmen FC, team of the Peruvian national team defender, Miguel Araujo, who came to Peru for Peru's duel against Paraguay. After the qualification of the bicolor to play the repechage against Australia or the United Arab Emirates, for a spot at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the boss of the Dutch cast talked with Pulso Sports Peru about the present and future of the white-red footballer.

“Miguel Araujo ends his contract in summer. We have to wait a bit because I said it in the first week of May, not before. So we have to wait what kind of things restrict what they are doing and at this time we are already talking about how we can do it after the summer,” Ronald Lubbers told Pulso Sports Peru.

“Of course, Miguel is no longer 20 years old, so we have to think about everything, about him, financially. That's pretty normal, I think, so it's a mix. The feeling is good for him and Emmen, we are together at the table and we are together at the table and talking to Carlos about it too, so, there should be a solution for everyone, this feels good. So it could be that Miguel Araujo stays. Maybe it's better for him not to do, but we're talking about how things are going and we'll see,” added the boss of the Dutch cast,

For, Ronald Lubbers, president of Emmen FC, believes that it would not be beneficial for the Peruvian national team's defense, if he decides to change teams before the 2022 Qatar World Cup. “I also think that when we have a promotion again (return to Primera), I think we will achieve it and then we would have the position of profit also because we have the World Cup in the middle of the season, so it is quite risky perhaps to move to another club. Yes, they are only short periods,” he told Pulso Sports Peru

At the same time, Lubbers believes that Miguel Araujo is very important to his team. “It will be a strange season with the World Cup in the middle of the season. We'll see. Yes, but what it means as a person, I would love for him to stay in Emmen because he is a great person,” he added.

Finally, the president of Emmen FC, told about the importance of Miguel Araujo in his team. “And you see sometimes Miguel has a motivational speech for the other players in the locker room and it starts in English, but when the real emotions come, then he switches to Spanish. Now, not all players understand Spanish, but it is not necessary to understand it, because the emotion it brings, it brings so much, that you know exactly what it means. And what is really nice is that you can count on him, he is always there, you see that even with the rivals that in the league that we are now in there is a certain respect from the players, because he is fair, he can be tough and he is a very perfect defender for us,” said Ronald Lubbers.
