De Paul, the secret of a great goal forged in the laboratory

yesand I expected much more from Rodrigo dePaul when just ten months ago I landed on the Athletic endorsed by the 34 goals and 36 assists that increased his record of services in the 184 games of his five years with Udinese and by his stellar role in the conquest of the Copa América in Argentina. That is why his only four goals and the two assists did not meet expectations in a first year at rojiblanco marked by irregularity. However, his last performance at the Reale Arena shows that he still has a lot to offer.

De Paul himself knows it and even more aware was the right hand of Simeonean Nelson Alive who hides behind his compatriot’s first goal from outside the box. It was difficult to understand that a footballer with such a glove on his foot would not take much more advantage of his millimetric strike. Hence, the three had been looking for solutions for some time.

Precisely, in Atlético’s previous departure to Elche in which qualification for the Champions League would be certified, De Paul had already been pushed by the technicians to go around the opposite frame, something that would result in the midfielder’s goal after pushing a gift from Griezmann. Curiously, in San Sebastián it would also be the Frenchman who would cushion the ball so that the unappealable shoe was released to the squad Remiro.

Although Antoine always appears in the photo of De Paul’s goals (the first of the four, in Portcame after taking advantage of the rejection of a shot by the Frenchman who he had previously attended), a good part of the responsibility for the goal against Real corresponds to Nelson Vivas, who had spent every training session the previous week hammering the 5 with which look for the shot from the balcony of the area.

Thus, with the order to arm his leg as soon as he had a chance echoing in his head, De Paul would not think twice when he found himself in the situation visualized in rehearsal, translating into a goal to which he himself would surrender: “It was a nice goal”, he would admit while Vivas smiled to himself.
