Axel Müller, 25, is a Mendoza rugby player who has developed his career in Francefor four years. The back visited the province, taking advantage of the break from the French rugby league (Top 14), where he plays at Brive. He even had time to sit in the stands and watch a game of his former club, known as Los Cures.

Already in France to resume the competition in the Top 14, the former Marista Rugby Club described his great present at the highest level and the possibility of returning to the Argentine national team. We talked about “returning” because he already took the albiceleste, although in seven-mode, at the Rio 2016 Games. And it was from that outstanding performance that Axel made the leap to European rugby. And, as we said, their goal of playing again for the national team is intact since, for some years, Argentine players playing in Europe have again been considered for the biggest team of our country.

In this regard, Müller hopes that this year will be yours for the good present in your club. However, it remains focused on making a good career in France, enjoying and growing at a distance.
