Two months after the exciting victory of the Argentine team in the World Cup for the first time since 1986, Rodrigo de Paul was interviewed this evening (Tuesday) by TyC and told how he promised Leo Messi that they would be the ones to lift the trophy on December 18, 2022.
"In one of our meetings after the loss to Saudi Arabia, I wrote on a note in Messi's room that we would be champions on December 18," said de Paul in the interview in question, "the problem is that I couldn't resist and I told him about it already after the round of 16. I thought he would be happy, when he saw The note, Messi told me: 'Why are you telling me? Idiot,'"
De Paul continued and laughed: "'Sorry, I couldn't stand it,' I replied. I ended up forgetting her at the university in Qatar. I didn't even remember, she stayed there."

Regarding Messi's nervous confrontation with Vout and Dutch Horst ("What are you looking at, idiot"), de Paul joked: "We know that Leo is a very good and humble person, but at that moment his computer was crushed. There are many stickers we send him in the WhatsApp group."
On the success of the Argentina team: "We beat Brazil along the way - the South American champion, the last European champion (Italy) and the previous world champion (France). In fact, all the champions. I apologize in advance to everyone, but I think we are the best team we've had in Argentina ever".
