The situation
Rodrigo de Paul is an outstanding footballer with Argentina , he appeared at the Metropolitano after dazzling in the Copa América, but that version has not yet been seen at Atlético except with a dropper. This summer a compatriot of his has arrived at the rojiblanco team, Nahuel Molina, and the sensations are similar . Well with the albiceleste, but for now little thing of rojiblanco. In this FIFA break, Scaloni has put both of them in the eleven, who put together a good performance. Correa, the third athlete in the selection, had to wait for the second half. Passing through the national team gives a dose of morale to both De Paul and Nahuel. The winger completed the match and, given the few threats from Honduras, he lived almost more in the rival field than in his own, especially in the first half. The midfielder was substituted in minute 72, precisely when Correa entered, and he was one of the standouts. With Argentina he takes over the games and is seen with enormous confidence. He even physically seems looser than with Atlético. ” With the commitment of always and the pleasure of continuing to defend these colors”, the medium published on its social networks, messages that some in Argentina have interpreted as a response to those who feel that it is more aware of the extra-sports than of football, an idea that completely rejects the player.
The details
De Paul, on the other hand, has gone 32 consecutive games without losing to Argentina, an absolute record for the South American team. Nahuel, in defense of four, showed some of the virtues that have led him to the Metropolitan . His driving, his combinations and his crosses helped his team down the right lane, although he was not required in defense, where he has more trouble and where he has left more doubts in these first weeks as a rojiblanco. Simeone trusts him and publicly defends him, although in the derby he preferred Marcos Llorente to face the challenge of stopping Vinicius . Scaloni’s confidence will serve Nahuel to gain confidence. Atlético expects the best version of him, as well as that of De Paul.
