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

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

Beyond football, the midfielder voiced his discomfort over the lack of unity in the country, saying it makes him feel “angry” to see a society that “is destroying itself” instead of coming together. “We like 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 jersey.
