Rodrigo De Paul speaks on Paulo Dybala’s absence from Argentina team

Rodrigo De Paul spoke about Paulo Dybala’s absence from the Argentina national team.

De Paul was picked for the June friendly matches and the provisional Argentina team for the Copa America but spoke about Paulo Dybala not being included in the team. Speaking with Germán Carrara, here is what he had to say:

“Scaloni was always clear with us from the first moment. After being World champions he told us: “Here, there is only one that has his spot guaranteed and that’s the number 10 (Lionel Messi). The rest of us all fight and try to do the best in our teams to be here.

“Obviously, Paulo not being here is a hard blow because he is my friend and I love him but he also knows that he’s part of this and if things go well, his name will also be there because we all contribute our grain of sand.”
