De Paul, Colchonero Gem: Recovery and Leadership
Rodrigo de Paul, a key piece in Simeone’s scheme, is being pampered to the fullest by the Atlético de Madrid coaching staff. After a demanding schedule, with Koke’s absence and Barrios’ expulsion forcing De Paul to push himself to the limit, the Argentinian reached his physical limit, raising alarms after the match against Real Madrid.
The blow suffered against Getafe and the accumulated fatigue during the season, where he has accumulated 2,592 minutes, being one of the most used players, have led to extreme precautions. The goal is clear: to have him in optimal condition for the crucial match against Barcelona.
De Paul, in his best moment as a Rojiblanco, has become an undisputed leader at the Metropolitano. His recovery is being carried out individually, prioritizing his physical well-being and performance. Awaiting training sessions, he is expected to be available for the match against Barcelona.
Lenglet also worked separately, but with an eye on the match against the Blaugrana. The Colchonero fans are confident in De Paul’s speedy recovery to continue enjoying his talent and grit in midfield.
