De Paul and that damn smile for Messi: “I enjoy it. Like when Michael Jordan was there”

Rodrigo De Paul he is not only one of the historical protagonists of this Scaloneta process, but he is also one of the most appreciated players in the Argentine national team’s playing system. Perhaps due to his character traits, he is also one of the players most loved by the public. The ovation at the moment of his substitution in the 6-0 victory against Bolivia bears witness to this, the feeling with the fans ofAlbiceleste he is there for all to see and on the triumphant evening in front of Leo Messi’s hat-trick he was captured in a shot with a toothy smile.

The reason? He explained it simply in a few words post-match to the microphones of TNT Sports: “I haven’t seen it (the photo that went viral, ed.), but obviously it’s joy, emotion. I don’t know who said that when you went to see Michael Jordan you had to enjoy it because it could be the last time. Something that would never happen again. I think we need to do the same with Leo. I enjoy him and the day he leaves I don’t want to have lost anything. It’s a process that I’m enjoying very much and I hope he stays here as long as he wants “.
