Though De Paul has 43 international caps to his name, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be his first, and he won't have much time to settle in because he's expected to start for Argentina in the midfield.
"If Argentina are going to win the World Cup, they’re going to need a massive performance from Rodrigo de Paul," Holden said.
