Argentine player Di Maria has insisted that fellow countryman Lionel Messi is oblivious to the beads he has received from PSG supporters in recent weeks.
What did Angel say about Lionel Messi?
Lionel survived a control debut season at Paris Saint-Germain by moving to the club on a free transfer after leaving Barcelona last summer, scoring just nine times in 32 runs across all competitions. Lionel Messi has been subjected to regular jeeps since the club’s defeat to Real Madrid in the 16th round of the Champions League, much to the disbelief of his countryman.
Angel Di Maria can understand why Paris Saint-Germain believers are disappointed by yet another European setback, but doesn’t feel that Lionel deserves to be targeted. Angel talked about Lionel Messi’s reaction to the noise in an interview on an Argentine radio station, saying that the best player in the world whistled… it’s hard to believe.
But here at the club, people, ultras, are demanding, they are very passionate and seeing the best players come in and they knock out the last 16 Champions Leagues, it’s normal that they are disappointed. It happens everywhere. Here it happens with the best in the world. Messi doesn’t pay attention, it’s a detail. This is football. They know it is, it must be so. According to Angel Di Maria, They must be strong. This is football, these things happen.
A little about Angel Di Maria
Angel’s seven-year stay at Paris Saint-Germain is due to end when his contract expires in June, with Juve offering the player a one-year contract in Turin. Reports of a potential return to Argentina have also been widespread, but Angel wants to continue playing at the highest level of club football to boost his chances of making it to the 2022 World Cup.
Paris Saint-Germain may yet run his option to tie Di Maria for another season, which is his personal preference, as he confirmed the contract ends in June and his idea is to stay here. Angel Di Maria would like his last year in Europe to be here in Paris. Angel doesn’t know if the club has the same desire.
According to Di Maria, there is a pre-contract, they will see if they sign it or not, otherwise he will see the opportunity to go to another team in Europe to arrive in the best possible way for the World Cup if he is called up.
