Argentina midfielder Rodrigo De Paul has launched a scathing attack on his country’s critics. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.
Dropping a heavyweight bombshell on Instagram, De Paul accused them of spreading baseless conspiracy theories throughout the tournament, stressing that many wanted to see his nation fall.
Rodrigo added that not being able to take the World Cup back to Argentina is a pain that will remain for a long time.
His words, “Today I see how many people were expecting this fall, spreading baseless conspiracy theories throughout the World Cup to ease the pain of others who could not experience what all Argentines were experiencing, because our smiles bother them, and because our ways annoy them.
But this only confirmed that the passion and love for our shirt can overcome anything.
The greatest pain is not being able to bring the World Cup back to our country, because if there is anyone who deserves to live this feeling again, it is you, but as the hours pass you realise that your connection to this team goes beyond just the trophy.
The pain will remain for a long time, but today I am prouder than ever to belong to Argentina.”
