Will Inter Miami star Rodrigo De Paul start tonight for Argentina vs Austria? | OneFootball

The World Cup is reaching its footballing peak, with some national teams already qualified and others already eliminated. The reality is that many are battling to stay in the competition, while others are still waiting to play their second match.

We are moments away from the encounter between Argentina and Austria, a decisive match that will determine the group’s first place.

The big question on everyone’s mind: will Rodrigo “Motorcito” De Paul play tonight against Austria, or will Scaloni rest him ahead of the match with Jordan?

Is Rodrigo De Paul playing today for Argentina’s crucial match against Austria?

The Inter Miami midfielder is a key piece not only in the team's tactical setup, but also in the group's human side. De Paul is known for the intensity he brings on the pitch, always being the first to chase down opponents.

He also plays the game the Argentine way, talking to referees, disrupting opponents, and getting under their skin.

He plays with grit, aggression, and passion, but always with enough composure to avoid committing fouls that could take him out of the match.

According to Argentine media, Lionel Scaloni will repeat the same starting eleven for the game against Algeria, meaning Rodrigo De Paul will participate in the starting lineup.

With this being said, Scaloni’s lineup will be: Dibu Martinez; Molina, Cuti Romero, Martinez, Medina; De Paul, McAllister, Enzo Fernandez, Almada; Lautaro Martinez, Lionel “The GOAT” Messi.

It is expected that Austria will present more defensive solidity than Algeria, but be weaker on offense. However, if one thing has been shown in this World Cup is that names are not the same as men.

Many teams had what appeared to be an easy match on paper, but things became much more complicated as the game went on.

However, Argentina has the most balanced squad in the tournament and an unshakeable resolve to defend its World Cup crown.
