At a function for his new book today, Araujo said: "I prefer to keep to myself what I think about the statements of Gndogan. I have codes and values that must be respected."
He also said: "Sad about elimination, like all culs. We had in our hands to qualify ourselves and there is sadness. The play is fortuitous, it is 50 and 50. If the referee does not collect it, nothing happens but, if he charges it, he has to expel me.
"Responsible (for the loss), responsible, no. Obviously it conditions the game because we are left with ten, then there are many things about the game itself. When I leave it is an important condition because I know what I can contribute and help when I am on the pitch.
"I am grateful to the people who always send me messages when I left after the game."
