Rodrigo de Paul
's situation
At
Atlético de Madrid
, it is still striking and worrying.
After being one of the key pieces of the
National Team
in the consecration in the
World Cup in Qatar 2022
, her return to the Colchonero team was far from being the dream.
In fact,
the Argentine midfielder has not added minutes with the Aleti shirt since his return to the club.
Today De Paul
does not seem to be an alternative for Diego Simeone and this Sunday, in the 1-1 draw against Almería, he left him on the bench again.
With the game tied, Cholo looked for alternatives to go for the victory in the second half.
In fact, he made all five changes, but none was for the Argentine player.
And, despite the fact that he had situations to put himself back in advantage, it was not effective and ended up turning the local goalkeeper into a figure.
De Paul was not taken into account by Cholo in the last two games.
Thus, De Paul has not played for almost a month.
His last game was precisely on December 18, 2022 against France in the World Cup final.
Although Cholo did not speak about the subject until now, in Spain the press
He already talks about a
broken relationship and the club's desire to sell him to recover the investment they made when they bought his pass from Udinese in exchange for 35 million euros for the pass.
All Aleti matches since De Paul's return
Since the restart of post-World Cup activity, Atlético de Madrid
played five games, although the first was on December 22
, when both Rodrigo
and
Angel Correa
and
Nahuel Molina
, both starters against Almería,
had not yet returned to the club.
The return to the team was just to face
Elche, also for the League, although none of the three played.
After being recognized for the title in Qatar, Correa went to the bench,
but both De Paul and Molina watched him from the audience.
The midfielder joined training
with a problem in his right hamstring, the same injury that he had already been suffering from since the World Cup
, for which he also missed the match against
Real Oviedo for the Copa del Rey.
Already recovered, last Sunday
he was a substitute in the defeat against Barcelona and the same thing happened this weekend against Almería
.
Will Cholo give him a new opportunity?
