Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni has publicly supported Rodrigo De Paul's recent transfer to Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MLS).
Scaloni emphasized that his main focus is on the player's current form and contribution rather than the specific league they are competing in. He believes that De Paul is performing at a 'very good level' and remains a crucial player for the national team, provided he maintains his intensity.
"He’s playing at a very good level," Scaloni stated, highlighting De Paul's importance. He also issued a word of caution, reminding the midfielder that he cannot afford to rest on his laurels and must continue to push himself.
De Paul recently showcased his capabilities in a match, delivering an assist and completing an impressive 92% of his passes. His contributions were not limited to offense, as he also made significant defensive efforts, demonstrating his all-around impact.
Scaloni also took the opportunity to praise the collective performance of Argentina's midfield. He specifically mentioned Enzo Fernandez, Thiago Almada, and Alexis Mac Allister, underscoring their vital role in the team's overall success and synergy.
The midfield quartet, with De Paul at its core, is crucial for Argentina's tactical setup and their ability to control games.
Looking ahead, De Paul's team is scheduled to face Austria in their next fixture on June 22, where his continued form will be closely watched.
This endorsement from the national team manager suggests that De Paul's move to MLS is seen as a positive step, allowing him to maintain his fitness and form while potentially enjoying more consistent playing time.
