Argentina midfielder Rodrigo De Paul spoke about how captain Lionel Messi is perceived in the team and about the goals of the Argentines at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Rodrigo De Paul and Lionel Messi"Fortunately, we have a beast in our team. We play for our country, Leo is our captain, our leader. He is like an older brother to me, I will always protect him. Few people know what he does to always be the best. I am very happy for him. After everything that has happened, I want him to be the one to enjoy himself the most. He deserves it.
The first game was a hard hit. We gathered in a closed room and discussed everything. We came here with the belief in success after winning the America's Cup. After losing the first match, every subsequent game was a final for us because we had to win.
The reality is that we play out of love for the colors, the jersey, our country. It's hard to put into words. I'm sure that many people cope with their problems, forget everything when they watch us play. Making them happy is a great pride. I am living a dream that cannot be described. "I have to be the happiest person in the world because I'm going to play in the World Cup final and I have my family and my girlfriend by my side supporting me," De Paul was quoted as saying by The Sun.
