In Liverpool's Premier League Round 6 match, Liverpool lost to Manchester City 3-0 at home. After the match, Liverpool defender Ronald Araujo spoke with Telemundo about the impact of the red card, the difficulties caused by the absence of key forwards, and his feelings about playing for Liverpool, as well as advice he received from Suárez.

Telemundo viewers, we're still here at Anfield, Liverpool's home. With us now is one of the key figures from today's match, Ronald Araujo. It was a difficult match, especially considering the opponent and all the controversy surrounding the match. This was a match we had to win, but unfortunately, we were unable to achieve that. Why weren't we able to win here today?

R. Araujo: I think overall we played well. The red card had a huge impact on the match. After that, we had to sit deeper. They controlled the ball more and scored goals.

But I think before that, we played better; in the first half, we were dominant. We also created many scoring chances, but their goalkeeper saved them. However, in the end, we lost 3-0 at home, which is very painful. It hurts because we wanted to win and get the points. We worked hard for that, but this time we couldn't get the result we wanted at home.

You just mentioned the red card. I don't know if you saw the incident, and opinions from outside are divided. Are the players and coach certain that it was deserving of a second yellow card?

R. Araujo: I didn't see it, I didn't see it. When it happened, I was still on the ground. I don't know if he was trying to get the ball or not. However, these things can happen to any player. I think, in any case, we need to be stronger and more resilient.

I think we are a very solid defensive team and we can try to concede fewer goals, but this time we couldn't do that. After that, the match changed, they scored, and they won the match.

How did the absence of some strikers affect the team? After all, they are the ones who can change the match in the attacking third. Ëkitiké, Isaac, and Gakpo are all very important players for you. I'm not denying the performance of the players who played today; they played well. But in reality, many players with strong goal-scoring ability were unable to play.

R. Araujo: Yes, absolutely, absolutely. The players who played today fought with all their hearts and did their best. However, these three players are basically starters, and in a match like this, the absence of three starting players is really very difficult, isn't it? As you saw, when they made a substitution, they could bring another player in, and these substitutions allowed them to change the match. However, these are not excuses. We have to keep working hard and bring joy to our fans.

One last question. How does it feel to wear the Liverpool badge here now? There's still a whole season ahead, and you will have to make some decisions. I can see you're very happy, and the coach also speaks highly of you. What do you think about the decisions that will surely have to be made at the end of the season?

R. Araujo: I'm very calm, very calm. I live each day, enjoying every day. To be honest, I'm very, very happy and comfortable here. Since I arrived, my teammates, the coach, everyone has been very good to me. I can play with confidence, and it feels great. Actually, I think the yellow card I received early in today's match had a big impact on me.

This is something I need to correct because I've received many yellow cards for protesting decisions. This way, I can't challenge the way I want to because with a yellow card, my actions are limited. So I think this is something that needs to be corrected in the future. But overall, everything is very good. I'm fine, and I'm happy, getting the playing time I need, and it feels great.

Our program is for American audiences, and Luis Suárez is in Miami. He must have watched your match on Telemundo. Did you speak with him before you came here? Luis is a legend of this club, of Anfield. Do you have a few words for him?

R. Araujo: Actually, I've always stayed in touch with Luis. However, I only spoke with him after confirming that I would be coming here...

Did you speak with him?

R. Araujo: Yes, yes, yes.

So what did he say?

R. Araujo: Not much, not much. He told me to enjoy it, that I was coming to a great club, a big club like Barcelona. He also told me I had to work hard. Luis is always like that; we always stay in touch.

He always talks to me and sends me messages, from the first day I joined Barcelona's first team until now. So I'm also sending him a tight hug.
