That boy, Henrique Araújo, oh, he can sure kick that ball! I seen lots of young’uns playin’ in my time, but this one, he’s got somethin’ special. He’s from Portugal, you know, way over across the big water. Born in Funchal, I hear. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But he ain’t fancy when he’s playin’, he just gets the job done.

He’s a forward, that means he’s always tryin’ to score. And he does! He’s playin’ for some team called FC Arouca now. Used to be with Benfica, a big fancy team, I reckon. Then he went to Watford for a bit, now he is with FC Arouca. He moves around a lot, that boy. But wherever he goes, he’s kickin’ that ball and makin’ things happen.
They say he’s worth a lot of money, like two and a half million of them euros. I don’t even know what that is, but it sounds like a whole heap of somethin’! He’s only 22 years old, still a young’un really. But he’s already playin’ with the big boys.
- He plays in the Primeira Liga. I don’t know what it is.
- He is a Centre-Forward.
- He played for SL Benfica.
- He also played for Watford.
- Now he plays for FC Arouca.
- He’s from Portugal.
- He’s young, only 22.
- He’s worth a lot of money, they say.
I seen his picture. He looks like a good kid. Strong legs, gotta have strong legs to kick that ball like he does. And he’s got that look in his eye, like he’s always thinkin’ about the game. That’s what you need, gotta be focused. Henrique Araújo, he’s focused, alright.
They keep all these numbers on him, you know. How many goals he’s scored, how many games he’s played, all that stuff. I don’t rightly understand all them numbers, but I know this: he scores goals. That’s what matters. You gotta score to win, and that boy, Henrique Araújo, he knows how to score.
He played for that Benfica team, that’s a big deal. They’re like the, well, I don’t know what they’re like, but they’re good! Everyone knows Benfica. And he played for them! That tells you somethin’ right there. He must have a lot of skills.

Now he’s with this other team, Arouca. I don’t know much about them, but I bet he’s doin’ good there, too. He’s probably out there right now, runnin’ around, kickin’ that ball, makin’ those goals. Henrique Araújo stats, people look at them.
He’s still young, got a lot of playin’ ahead of him. He’ll probably play for a bunch more teams before he’s done. Maybe he’ll even play for that national team, you know, the one that represents the whole country. That would be somethin’, wouldn’t it? Henrique Araújo, playin’ for his country. Portugal.
I hope he keeps playin’ good. I like watchin’ him, even though I don’t always understand what’s goin’ on. But I know a good player when I see one, and that Henrique Araújo, he’s a good player. He’s got that fire in him, you can see it.
He plays for FC Famalico, too. I forget to say that before. So he plays for FC Arouca and FC Famalico. He is a busy boy. Always playing soccer.
So, keep your eye on that Henrique Araújo. He’s goin’ places, that one. He’s gonna be a big star, I just know it. You mark my words. One day, everyone’s gonna know his name. He’s gonna be a real big shot. He is good at soccer. Everyone knows.

Well, that’s all I know about that Henrique Araújo. He’s a good boy. He plays soccer. He’s from Portugal. I hope he does real good. He is only 22. Hope he can play for a long time. I like to watch him play. He is a good player. I think everyone likes to watch him.
