From Paul: “Scaloni is an important part of my life because he made me fulfill a lot of dreams”

One of the great references of the Argentine World Cup champion team is Rodrigo De Paul, who arrived from the hand of Lionel Scaloni, and was also the one who helped him reach a high level that allowed him to make a leap of quality in his professional career. In this way, in dialogue with AFA Estudio, the former Racing said that “Scaloni is an important part of my life because he made me fulfill a lot of dreams, from the debut with the national team to everything that came after. It generates admiration, pride and I think that together with the ‘dwarf’ is the most important of the National Team”. He then referred to his relationship with Lionel Messi and what they both did after the defeat to Saudi Arabia in the first match of the World Cup: “The most important conversation I had with Messi was after the defeat with Arabia. It was 6 hours where we told each other everything. Leo started by telling me ‘this may be the last game’ and we ended up saying ‘we liquidated Mexico.'” On the injury he suffered during the intercontinental championship, he said that “the first thing they told me was that I had for twelve days. The injury didn’t allow me to train. I feel like it was a miracle because until the night before I didn’t know if I was going to be able to but I felt I had to be.” He also spoke about the previous World Cup and how he lived the injury of Lo Celso: “When Gio was injured he killed me so I love him. I saw him cry and he didn’t answer the phone for days, we had been talking about the World Cup for months. Before the semi-final he appeared in the room and it was a tremendous joy. He’s going to have revenge.”
Finally, he closed by highlighting what the title achieved in Qatar means for the Argentine people: “That people tell you all the time ‘thank you’ and that you made them spend the happiest moment of their lives, that the greatest gift of being world champion.”
