The midfielder of the Argentina National Team, Rodrigo De Paul, expressed his gratitude towards coach Lionel Scaloni for trusting him and seeing qualities that even the player did not recognize himself. In an interview, De Paul highlighted the special connection he has with Scaloni and praised the coach's ability to perceive what others do not see in the players.
In addition to his performance on the field, De Paul revealed his interest in fashion and changing looks. He commented that he is inspired by vintage trends from the 90s and was even persuaded by Lionel Messi to shave his head before a Copa America final. He is currently looking to grow his hair back, following his personal style.
Regarding his relationship with Lionel Messi, De Paul mentioned that they are in daily contact and admires the influence the Argentine star has over his opponents in every match. The Atlético Madrid player also referred to the importance of his family in his life, highlighting his grandfather as a fundamental figure in his upbringing.
De Paul spoke about the difficulty of being away from his loved ones due to his football career, but emphasized the support and understanding he receives from his family. Additionally, he referred to the discussion about who the best footballer in history is, eloquently responding to Cristiano Ronaldo's recent claims to self-proclaim that title.
With his unique style and strong personality, Rodrigo De Paul continues to establish himself as a key figure both on and off the field. In his own words, 'Anyone who has seen a bit of football knows that there will be no one like the Ten (Messi).'
