"Nos manières les emmerdent", Rodrigo De Paul règle ses comptes contre les critiques de l'Argentine
Rodrigo De Paul, Argentina's midfielder, posted a message on Monday praising the strong bond between his national team and its fans after their defeat in the World Cup final. He also took aim at the many critics of the Albiceleste.
A passionate and scathing response to the wave of criticism. Rodrigo De Paul (32 years old) posted a message on Instagram on Monday, the day after Argentina's defeat in the World Cup final against Spain (1-0, after extra time). In it, he defends the very strong bond that united the national team with its fans during the tournament and attacks the team's many detractors.
"I see how many people were waiting for this fall."
"The deepest pain comes from not being able to bring the World Cup trophy home again, because if anyone deserved to relive that emotion, it's you," wrote the Inter Miami player, often described as Lionel Messi's "watchdog" or "bodyguard." "But as the hours pass, I realize that the bond you share with this team goes far beyond the trophy itself—and that's what I'm holding onto to get through this."
He then lamented the conspiracy theories surrounding the Albiceleste. "Today, I see how many people were waiting for this downfall, spreading unfounded conspiracy theories throughout the World Cup to soothe their own pain at not being able to experience what we Argentinians were experiencing — because our smiles bother them, because our mannerisms piss them off... But all of this has only confirmed that passion and love for our jersey can overcome anything. The pain will be raw for a long time, but today, more than ever, I am proud to be Argentinian."
Argentina entered the World Cup as the defending champions but saw their image deteriorate as the tournament progressed. The team's aggressive tactics, often going unpunished, fueled accusations of favoritism surrounding Lionel Scaloni's men, who had a relatively easy path to the semi-final victory over England (2-1). That match was marred by violent tackles that went unpunished by the referee.
The final against Spain saw further brutal incidents. But the Argentinians were particularly notable for their lack of sportsmanship after the final whistle, with Nahuel Molina and Leandro Paredes striking Spanish players. Lionel Messi's teammates also turned their backs on the podium when the trophy was presented to Spain.
