The dream of all Argentines is just around the corner. In less than a week, the team led by Lionel Scaloni will debut in the FIFA World Cup against Saudi Arabia, where he hopes to start off on the right foot and face the rest of the group matches with more calm. Before that, the AFA organized a friendly match against the United Arab Emirates, which he would do at home and with 'Vasco' Arruabarrena on his bench.

This serves the cast led by Lionel Messi as preparation for the maximum event, since it has some similarities with the Asian team that it will face in its World Cup debut. The Argentine DT put several of those who, a priori, will do the same six days later on Qatari lands. Among them and in addition to the best in the world, was Rodrigo De Paul from the beginning, something that happens often since he took over as a native of the city of Pujato.

The Atlético Madrid midfielder is experiencing a hard time at the club, where fans point him out permanently due to his lack of interest, according to them. To make matters worse, he is not the undisputed starter for Diego 'Cholo 'Simeone and he usually starts the games sitting on the substitutes' bench.

However, everything is extremely different in the Argentine National Team for him. Regular headline for Scaloni, this Wednesday was no exception and it was from the start, showing the best in the complement.

Rodrigo De Paul's assistant role

The former Udinese and Racing Club man started the second half with full force and assisted Joaquín Correa with an exquisite pass, who had come on at halftime and scored the fifth goal for the Albiceleste national team. In addition, he did not lower the intensity that characterizes him despite being a friendly and he was seen running very active throughout the time he had to play, earning the affection of the Argentine fans.
