Rodrigo De Paul spoke on the Argentina national team, being undefeated, Italy and the World Cup qualifiers.
De Paul has been one of the integral parts of this Argentina national team. He started the 1-1 draw against Ecuador and played the entire match. Speaking to TyC after the draw, here is what he had to say:
“We have a very important match which is a final against Italy and we have to win to give the people some joy. It will be a double test because it’s a final and now they say that we need to play against European teams.
“Internally, we know that we are ready to compete. We’ll give another example that this national team is prepared for everything.”
In regards to Argentina being undefeated in 31 matches:
“No one imagined this. We drew the record that Argentina had and we continue to write beatiful football pages for our country. Hopefully we can continue like this.”
Regarding the support he gets:
“My team mates make me feel important and the coaching staff make me feel like they count on me a lot but I know that it’s an evaluation every day wearing the Argentina national team shirt and hopefully I can continue to wear it.”
About the penalty decision:
“I didn’t see the play, from what they told me, it wasn’t. We can be wrong. It’s difficult to be wrong with the help of VAR. I find the play on Alexis (Mac Allister) a bit strange. At the very least, they should have told him (the referee) to go see it (VAR) and to make a decision.”
The amount of disrespect Barcelona president is showing towards Messi is unreal. Same goes for so called Culers.
I am glad that Messi’s Argentina story has turned out to be opposite.
One of the all time cricketing great, Sachin Tendulkar was 39 years old when he won first world cup with India. By that time, his friends were gone and his team members were young players who idolized him.
Messi is in similar situation. I hope it is same outcome for him. We can do it. Ecuadorans pressed us hard, yet we were solid and unbreakable. Without any bias, this team has capability to reach semi final in Qatar. Rest are luck.
He’s speaking sht since Messi’s departure. Big win against Real made him speak more sht…
Well, didnt Klose win WC at 36? Zanetti won treble at 35.
Argentina become the only team in the world with two 30+ undefeated run.
Argentina 31 and now 31*
Italy 37and 30
Yet, European journalists are worshipping Italy as if they’re top 3 WC contender.
Donaruma made two crazy blunders in crucial games in matters of 2 weeks . Emi should have won the GK of the year.
