Sporting CP's Chase for the Portuguese Title: Maxi Araújo and Viktor Gyökeres Shine
In a recent sit-down with Sport890, Uruguayan sensation Maxi Araújo opened up about Sporting CP's title run against Vitória SC. The left-winger spoke about the constant chatter amongst supporters about the upcoming match and their hopes for victory.
"We gotta stay sharp and focused. We've got the fire burning inside. The fans' passion and unity this week have been off the charts. I hope we can seal the deal and make history for this club," Araújo stated.
"We're prepping our butts off this week, knowing we're our only obstacle. Playing at home, where our fans are our twelfth man, could pave the way for a legendary day for Sporting," he added.
Araújo also heaped praise on his teammate, the Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres, referring to him as "a fierce beast, a relentless animal on the pitch."
"The minute I stepped foot in the locker room, Gyökeres caught my attention. He's like a competitive wildcat in training sessions. If he grabs three goals, he'll still be chasing the fourth one. He's got that Luis Suárez hunger. Always on the hunt, always hounding the ball. In crucial moments, especially when the team's not performing at its best, he pulls a rabbit out of the hat. He's our X-factor," Araújo concluded.
