Jhon Arias is going through a moment of contrasts. The Chocoano end, a key piece of the Colombian team, lives in England the most complex start of his career. He acknowledged that the adaptation to Wolverhampton, his new club in the Premier League, has been more demanding than expected.
“The season has had a difficult start, contrary to what you want, but I do not know another path different from the work. I am trying to accelerate the processes for this to change,” said the Chocoano end in dialogue with ESPN.
Arias arrived this European summer in exchange for 17 million euros from Fluminense. Brazil left as an idol. In three and a half years with the Carioca team he lifted the Copa Libertadores and the South American Recopa, being the protagonist in both titles.
He was also a figure in the Club World Cup, in which he was selected within the ideal team of the tournament. That performance catapulted his arrival in English football, but the first steps have not been easy: Wolverhampton accumulates five losses in the same number of days.
The Colombian, with six games played – three as a starter – still does not add goals or assists. His goal is not only to earn a place among the initialists, but also to have a good rhythm of competition to help his team to reverse the situation.
“We have all seen how complex the Premier is, a different football from what was used to, but I am happy, this makes me improve and raise my level, leaving my comfort zone. It is an ideal scenario for me, faster and more physical. From the personal I think it is a good place to grow.”
His club present contrasts with the fortress he has shown in the National Team. Undisputed for Lorenzo, accumulates more than 30 international parties and was key in the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada 2026.
With the tricolor shirt he talks to the illusion of who sees a large horizon: “We no longer have to envy much of those selections that have the favorite label. We have to dream and visualize with being champions. If we do not have in mind that we can be, we will not clearly achieve it.”
