Atletico Madrid -midfielder Rodrigo de Paul largely seems to ignore the noise around the Madrid Derby this evening and claims that they are focused on the game itself instead of everything that could come with it. He also explained that at least he is in the right place to play his football for the time being.
De Paul explained that the team felt good and was looking forward to the occasion. However, he followed the leadership of his manager and noted that for him the next game is always the most important match, regardless of the opponent.
“The analysis is that we are opposed to Madrid opposite the Bernabeu. They are the European champions and we are both going to compete. When the competition starts, there is no other option than to do what is best for your team. “
The Argentinian midfielder further said that Atletico had prepared well for games and did not pay attention to the pressure of that occasion. On a personal level, many believe that the Paul has his best year in the Metropolitano, and he was asked what had changed.
“I always felt important. All roles have a weight, therefore our strength is the group, no role is more valuable than another. I assume what I have to do and I like to be challenged. I can give much more and the only way to achieve that is to work. “
The exhaustion that belongs to the game is perhaps mentally, but that has little to do with the media attention on the fixture.
“Wear and Tear has nothing to do with what is said externally, but with the fact that we will get a great rival, and these are games that we like to play, but that are tiring.”
In terms of his own future, De Paul explained that he was completely happy where he was.
“I always believe that the best level is yet to come. I am in a club that I love, with values that I share, with a harmonious and hard -working atmosphere and a clear message that we agree on. I enjoy the moment and I think no further than that. “
Rumors about Atletico that may have been looking for cashing in the Paul have surfaced in recent summers, but since his improvement in consistency, there are few in between. However, there are probably contract discussions on the Horizon for the Paul, who is of his deal in the last 18 months and 31 will be before the end of the season.
