“Look at me now”: Papu Gómez does not give up and has given a signal about his future

Monza footballer Alejandro Papu Gómez has been inactive since last year due to a two-year ban he will face after failing a doping test. Far from giving up is the world champion with the Argentine national team, who continues to train stronger and stronger than ever to return to the pitch, which will only happen in 2026.

In the last few hours, the midfielder, who will turn 26 on February 15, has published a suggestive post on his social networks, capturing the attention of several users.

The former Arsenal player de Sarandí has ​​uploaded a series of images in which he is seen working hard in a gym in Bergamo, Italy. “Train hard” was the caption that Papu chose to accompany the publication.

But that is not all. Because the former Atalanta player also chose the song “Look at me now”, by Myke Towers, to post on his official Instagram account, where he has 6.4 million followers. The song of the famous Puerto Rican singer has lyrics that can perfectly illustrate the moment that Papu is going through.

“I became king from birth, all these bastards like me want to be”, “the only perfect thing is God’s time” and “they want me to hurt, but it’s better this way”, are some lines told in the song.

The post in question reached 50 thousand likes and 343 comments almost a day after its publication.

The doping that puts Papu’s career in check

In October last year, Papu Gómez tested positive for doping and was suspended for two years. The substance banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was terbutaline. According to the footballer, the drug was present in a pediatric cough syrup prescribed to his son and from which he sipped without considering the consequences when he was still a Sevilla player and there were a handful of weeks left before the start of Qatar 2022, where he started two times as a starter – Saudi Arabia and Australia – until an injury left him with no escape.

For a long time there was talk of a possible retirement of the Argentine, who could only return to play at 37 years old. Papu, however, seems to have turned a deaf ear to those rumors and is focusing attention on his set-up to return to the field in the best possible conditions.
