De Paul: The Engine of Atlético
Rodrigo de Paul has established himself as a key piece in Simeone’s scheme, becoming a fundamental player for Atlético. His evolution in midfield has been remarkable, and the Rojiblancos team revolves around his game.
His partnership with Pablo Barrios has also become an important pillar of the team. De Paul is a fixture in the lineups and one of Cholo’s main assets, especially in high-demand matches. His performance in the Champions League is remarkable, having played all the matches as a starter.
Statistically, he leads the team in completed passes, passes between the lines and forward drives in the European competition. His vision of the game and ability to break defensive lines make him a constant danger to rivals.
This season, De Paul has participated in a total of 37 official matches, demonstrating the confidence that Simeone places in him. He has contributed with three goals and seven assists, numbers that reflect his impact on the team’s offensive game.
However, Cholo demands even more arrival in the area and daring in the shot. At 30 years old and with a current contract, this season is presented as crucial for De Paul, who is emerging as one of Atlético’s main weapons to achieve great results, including a good result at the Bernabéu.
