Four goals in the first seven games of Serie A and the will to get his responsibilities in the team, at 24. Rodrigo De Paul is one of the surprises of this new season, despite he already arrived in Udine three years ago. This time, something has changed for Rodrigo though: "Last summer, Fiorentina was interested in me, I had to think about it because that offer was interesting. Then, Udinese have told me they strongly believed in me so I decided to stay".
From there, De Paul got at Velazquez's disposal: "I've decided to take more responsibilities" has he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "We're playing a very entertaining football, a dynamic and intense one. Everyone has to learn to do everything, we're convinced this is the type of playing style suited to our team. I'm finally putting into use what Iachini told me, and I'm trying more often to shoot from outside the box. Even if, because of my qualities, I prefer making assists".
Today, at the Dacia Arena of Udine, they will host Dybala's Juventus, "who I knew in Palermo when I had to get the documents I needed. Paulo is really strong, Juve surely could get toe to toe with the best European teams. They've had 9 victories in a row but they still should be aware of this: we want to win points, we're playing at home and you can never tell how a game is going to end in football. What's sure is that at the end of the game, I should travel with Paulo to Saudi Arabia to reach our Argentinean teammates".
The Selecciòn call-up is a dream come true for Rodrigo: "When they've told me the news, I couldn't sleep for a whole night. I've spent my life working for this moment, and without a doubt it's the nicest thing that happened in my short career. I'm really happy, also because of the fact a "bomber" like Icardi had a lot of trouble to get a spot in this team, it makes me think about how well I've done this year to deserve such an opportunity".
