Bentancur will have an important role to play as a deep lying midfielder for his country this summer.#4 Rodrigo de Paul - ArgentinaPeru v Argentina - South American Qualifiers for Qatar 2022One of the best midfielders in Serie A at the moment, Rodrigo de Paul has had a stunning season for Udinese. Strong on the ball and capable of unlocking defenses with intelligent passing, De Paul was the talisman for a struggling Udinese side in 2020/21 scoring 9 goals and assisting 9 more.While Argentina have always been blessed with talented forwards and wingers like Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria and others, they have not had a truly world class midfield conductor since the days of Fernando Redondo.Rodrigo De Paul, is one of my favorite players and has been one of the most underrated in Europe for a long time. Gets also overshadowed in Argentina by Messi, Martinez, etc...Brings everything of physically, technique, match intelligence, creativity, dynamic, athleticism. pic.twitter.com/1fsbXaLSGH— OTTERSZN🦦 DFB POKAL SIEGER 🏆 (@L89_BVB) May 30, 2021De Paul is not afraid to take on players and play brave passes.
