He dreamed of it since he was a child. And of course he will want to play as many games as possible. Nevertheless, Rodrigo DePaul He had no qualms regarding confessing that, surely, he will not enjoy the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Knowing himself, and understanding everything that a World Cup represents, the midfielder of the Argentine National Team sees it difficult for him to enjoy 100% what happens between November and December.

RODRIGO DE PAUL WILL NOT ENJOY THE QATAR 2022 WORLD CUP
“When they always ask me if I want the World Cup to start, I always say no. Because the month of the World Cup will surely not enjoy it. A lot of pressure, a lot of competition, a lot of nervousness, anxiety. And it is very difficult to enjoy it. So, I try to enjoy this whole process. I would like to enjoy it more, sometimes it is difficult for me, because of the anxiety, that sometimes the people who are around it transmit it. I’m trying to enjoy myself until the day that starts, which is surely going to be crazy.”
“I once said that I didn’t enjoy the games, and many people were surprised. But it is reality. One lives very concentrated, knows that there are many pressures. Then criticism can be harmful. You try to do your job the best you can. As a soccer player, I do enjoy the preview of a match, preparing my mate, I enjoy the week, going to train… But when the competition starts, it’s hard for me. That, taken to a World Cup, which is the competition that exists in football, and which is what one dreams of, knowing me I know that it will cost me everything “said the champion of America, in an interview for TyC Sports.
