In the same way that the Xacobeo 2021 will continue in 2022, the season of Nestor Araújo it will also last for two years. The Mexican He joined Celta training on Thursday without having enjoyed a vacation. Since LaLiga ended in May, the defender has been chaining commitments with his team until last Sunday.
While most of his teammates in the olívico dressing room disconnected once the 2020-2021 academic year was completed, the one from Guadalajara participated with the Aztec team in a friendly at the end of May against Iceland and at the beginning of June he played under Gerardo 'Tata' Martino two matches of the Concacaf Nations Cup.
