And so the season begins bielsa in the blue sky, where the blaugrana Ronald Araujo find its place.
Barring a big surprise, which is not expected, Araújo will be part of the first team to call bielsaand certainly refers to the 2026 World Cup.

In bielsa anything is possible, but a line of 3 seems more difficult in the absence of gimenez at the start of the Qualifiers. Araujo It will certainly be central, but only from the next 21 we will begin to reveal mysteries.
