The FC Barcelona is building his new project with the help of Joan Laporta, Mateu Alemany and Xavi Hernández. After difficult years, both due to poor performance and bad decisions by previous managers, the Blaugrana team seems ready to once again be considered one of the best teams in the world, both in the short and long term. And one of the reasons for their return to the top is the pair of central defenders they have managed to put together: Jules Koundé and Ronald Araujo.
The French and the Uruguayan are two of the best young centre-backs in the world. Their individual characteristics and impact on their teams have placed them at the level of the best, despite their young age. They are players with impressive physical conditions, despite being different, and who fit perfectly within a team that seeks to dominate games with the ball.
Koundé and Araujo, a defense to dominate the next decade
FC Barcelona has managed to put together one of the best pairs of central defenders in the world, both for today and for the next decade. A project that thinks about winning again next season, but that is also preparing for the future. Koundé joined a list of young Blaugrana talents who are on their way to being among the best in the world at their position, with several making an impact at the top level today: Pedri, Gavi, Sergiño Dest, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres and Ronald Araújo himself.
With the signing of the Frenchman, Joan Laporta has not only added a footballer to the squad with the condition to dominate today, he has also put together a couple that is capable of being the best in the world for a long time and being the cornerstone of a project he aims to win all the major titles in the coming years.
