The Atlético de Madrid is beginning to fully enjoy the talent of Rodrigo De Paul, a footballer who, although he has always shown glimpses of his quality, had not been able to achieve the expected consistency. Diego Simeone, a great connoisseur of his potential, never lost faith in the Argentine midfielder. Now, that confidence is starting to bear fruit in the form of decisive performances.
In the recent matches, De Paul has been a key piece in the rojiblanco's scheme. Against Alavés, he provided a precise assist for Alexander Sorloth to secure the three points with a 2-1 victory. Days before, facing Sparta Prague and Valladolid, the Argentine stood out again, ending his performance against the latter with a goal after an impeccable team play. This goal marked De Paul's first of the season, who also has three assists so far this campaign.
Simeone has pressured him, but has achieved the best Rodrigo De Paul
Simeone has always demanded more offensive involvement from his midfielders, and De Paul, now in his footballing maturity at 30 years old, seems willing to respond to the call. His impact is not only measured in numbers but also in the fluidity he brings to the team's game, as noted by the newspaper AS.
With a contract until 2026, the future of the Argentine remains uncertain, but his recent performances could be crucial to Atlético's success in the Liga, Champions League, and Copa del Rey. If he maintains this level, it will be hard to imagine a competitive Atlético without his presence in the midfield.
