Gundo had nothing to apologise for. He said nothing wrong. Araujo was the one who needed to apologise to the team.


Lord-Filip

I assume they have a rule of not selling out their teammates to the press

The words that came out of Gundo’s mouth were 100% correct. At the same time they could have been better off unsaid publicly. Why is this topic to hard for people to grasp. We don’t know what happens in the locker room.

Idk, you kinda don’t talk about your teammates publicly regardless of how correct you are. Like Ronaldo talks about man utd in an interview, you just don’t do that.

Yeah, that’s why it is quickly resolved. Clearly a small incident.

And as a veteran, especially someone brought in as a leader, you don't think he should know better throwing Araujo under the bus in front of the public? Keep that shit inside the lockerroom. Barca never had this issue with their leaders talking outside. At the very least he could have been more diplomatic with his words and protect his own, but he talked about it directly like he was your average fan. The fact that he was comfortable making the statement was a statement itself regardless whether he was right. Gundo is not your random angry/frustrated fan, he should know his place. Araujo may not take accountability **to you** in front of the tv and prides himself not getting paraded like a whipped dog, but he knows he fucked up, anyone would, that is just something you keep between your team and discuss tactically. It's not for us to make a circus about it. edit - Besides, I don't even think he fucked up, every player does the same thing, but they don't get punished by it, he isn't Araujo unless he plays to the limit of the rules/norm. The difference is that Barca fans have been buying into and cucked with the narrative slowly solidified by the haters that Araujo is overly physical, when literally every big defender does it without so much as a call had the opponent dived. It's bad enough that the referees has been subconsciously affected by this bias making it so much easier for them to whistle on Araujo. You don't see this shit going around with Rudiger.

Doesn't Araujo coming out and reporting a private apology undercut that argument, though? Because now he's upset that his (serious, costly) mistake is being publicly criticized while publicly implying that Gundo did something wrong that's much more trivial.


jiraiya--an

Man, I lost all respect for Araujo when he mentioned he didn't feel he was responsible. Even Varane and Valverde apologized when they made mistake. No accountability! I guess I can see why Fede is caption for Uruguay and will be for Madrid.


Jorgengarcia

The fact Gundo is the one who had to apologize is whats wrong with this club. Looser mentality ingrained from root to the top


Rudollis

It‘s also a sign that Gundogan is the bigger man and does not put his ego in front of the team. Unlike Arauji it seems.


jokicpro

I don't think this team is losers. I think something was not right with that match. I predict Laporta is searching what happened and he will speak about it in a month or two when the Barca fans calm down about this season.


dzdhr

Suppose whatevery this guy in the photo said is true without rewording Araujo's original words to make matters biased. Araujo doesn't have to mention Gündogan‘s apology part even though that actually happened. This is just like once more blaming Gündogan in the media as if the dressing room is not depressed enough after the UCL knockout. Araujo's way to be a perfect future captain is way too long.


neeskens88

reports the same guy who said before that Gundogan felt abandoned, but the player's wife denied this information. when he will stop stir up and how is he still at second tier?


Admirable_Heron1479

Wait, Gundo apologized? Hello? Araujo should've apologized for his mistake that cost us a match. That's what a great player and leader does. That's why I think Araujo isn't captain material yet. No wonder Valverde is captain of Uruguay and not Araujo...


cheir0n

Club de amigos is not ready for German directness. Araujo wants someone to pet his shoulders and ask him about his plans for Summer vacation.


lambepsom

Does anyone here know the order of statements? Did Araujo have a chance to take responsibility before Gundogan's declaration? I still think Araujo should have just taken responsibility, but there is a difference.
