A PLAYER WITH MANY VIRTUES
Normal than the Athletic have noticed him. It has followed him for a long time, but the recently concluded campaign was that of his consecration in reality. Rodrigo De Paul has been one of the best footballers of the last edition of the A series Italian. He was the player who performed the most successful dribbles -122-, the second who won the most duels with his rivals -294-, the sixth player with the most key passes in the championship -82- and the eighth player with the most participation in goals -18 -.
This is a player who can play in the pivot, put to reinforce by the Athletic facing the coming course, but it can also develop in band, from the left side, to give competition to Lemar or Carrasco in that demarcation.
