Diego Simeone does not let go of Rodrigo de Paul. In difficulty at the start of the season with Atlético de Madrid, the 2022 world champion with the Albiceleste is going through a complicated period. Under fire from the Spanish press, particularly since the debacle in the Champions League against LOSC (1-3), the 30-year-old midfielder can count on the support of his coach. “He gave a lot to the Argentine national team, more than to Atlético de Madrid, that’s clear, but he is not alone”recognized the Colchoneros coach.
“People want more and he is very important for us because of his different vision of the game. Rodrigo is a world champion and people ask him for more (…) He is an extraordinary boy, it is a pleasure to have it, for its ‘Argentine grinta’, what it generates, and what you can discuss with it. He had important moments and matches, but not yet the stability he has in the national team.supported the 54-year-old coach who remains hopeful for the former Udinese player.
