De Paul keeps Argentina out of politics: «We're here to play» | OneFootball

Rodrigo De Paul, a key figure in the Argentine national team, expressed his concern over the current social division and the tensions surrounding local football. In recent statements, the midfielder was emphatic in separating the squad from any partisan dispute: “We don’t do politics, we don’t understand those spaces”, he said, seeking to distance the players from the controversies involving the AFA leadership and its president, Claudio Tapia.

Beyond football, the midfielder expressed his discomfort over the lack of unity in the country, saying it makes him feel “angry” to see a society that “destroys itself” instead of coming together. “We want to be judged by what we do on the pitch”, De Paul concluded, reaffirming that the group’s only commitment is to defend the national shirt.
