Hupu August 1st Argentina international De Paul recently made his official debut at Miami International and wore the No. 7 jersey. At the press conference, he bluntly stated that he had long dreamed of fighting side by side with Messi at the club level, not just in the national team.

First debut

"The teammates are very accepting, and I know some of them. I will go all out in the position I was arranged and contribute to the team. I feel very comfortable and happy at Miami International. Hopefully this will be the first of many wins."

Decision to join Miami

"I am not tired, it is a personal decision. Miami International is writing a new chapter of it, and I want to be a part of it. Staying in Europe is actually the easiest choice. I have received a lot of offers, but I like this kind of challenge, and I like the adventures that force you to push your limits. I am never satisfied with the status quo."

"I don't feel I'm escaping challenges, but I feel more pressure - because of the effort I put in, For who I am, and because of the expectations of everyone for me every weekend. "

Regrets with Atletico Madrid

"I certainly hope to win the championship with Atletico Madrid, and I joined with such expectations. In the past few seasons, we have actually been close to success many times, although it was not achieved in the end. But football is like this, failure is more common than victory. Despite this, I am still proud of that journey. "

Atletico Madrid's future

"I think Atletico Madrid is not lacking, they are one of the strongest clubs in Spain. Judging from the way the club operates, they will sooner or later reach the top again. Although it will be difficult to compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid, they are always challenging. I believe they will win the championship they deserve sooner or later." "

Beckham's influence

"I like Beckham's style of play and personality very much. When I communicated with him, he expressed his strong desire to join me, and he invested a lot in this project. When a person who plays a big role in football like him shows interest in you, of course it will affect the final decision."

About No. 7 jersey

"I do like No. 7 very much, but I didn't come for the number when making decisions. The club suggested that I wear this jersey because it was related to my number in the national team. I understand that they also communicated with the original holder Picote. This was not my one-sided decision, but I like this number very much."

Dreams to play side by side with Messi

"Messi and I have always had a common dream, which is to cooperate at the club level. We are in the country Every training camp for the family team is memorable, but it always feels too short. I really want to experience the feeling of playing side by side with the best players in the world every day. We have always talked about this dream, and although I still have a contract at Atletico Madrid, it is not a deliberate pursuit. But when the two clubs started to contact, I began to realize that it might actually come true. "

Communication with Scaloni

"I talked to Messi and Scaloni. I asked him very honestly how I can continue to stay in the national team program that brings glory to our country. His answer was very straightforward and simple: 'I know who you are and what you can bring to the team. The only thing I will evaluate is your performance on the court. 'We have known each other for too long, and trust is mutual."
