Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo: I know coaches here have improved me

Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo insists he's happy at the Nou Camp.

The club and Araujo's agents met in a restaurant in Barcelona to discuss it and there are just a few things left to settle.

At the same time, the player featured in a video posted online by Barcelona's social media team.

Araujo spoke about life at Barcelona, saying that “I feel blessed I can play for this club."

Araujo said: “Barcelona have a very different philosophy to everyone else, even the Spanish teams," he explained.

“When I arrived to understand the philosophy… the ball moves very fast. When I went to control it, it got away from me and I went home frustrated."

He told himself: “I can't be here and not be able to control the ball or play."

Things improved.

“With work and delivery day to day I said, 'I am here and I can play', I have the blessing to be at this club and that's why I worked so hard. And thanks to God, it's bearing fruit."
