Playing Style Profiles
Araújo is a classic defensive contradiction: a ground-level titan who dominates 1-on-1 physical battles while remaining curiously passive in the collective defensive phase. His 72.7% duel win rate puts him in the league’s top 5%, marking him as an elite stopper once engaged, yet his bottom-decile press intensity suggests a player who prefers to drop and react rather than hunt.
A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a regular goalscorer (0.22 goals/90), active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), draws fouls effectively (2.4/90) and active off the ball (2.7 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
