Angel Di Maria out, fans’ anger explodes

“Tear up the contract!” is one of the ‘reportable’ comments from Twitter

That Argentina’s World Cup triumph did not go down well with more than a few Juve fans is well known. As well as the reasons are well understood: seeing a scintillating Angel Di Maria at work in the Lusail Stadium final made their mouths twist, thinking about how many matches-before the World Cup- El Fideo had missed due to injury.

Returning to Continassa on January 2 along with compatriot Leandro Paredes, who is also in the crosshairs of the Juventus fans for the same reasons as the former Real Madrid player, Di Maria did not even have time to get acquainted with the Turin pitches that he immediately stopped. ‘Ankle contusion’ is the diagnosis. With relative obvious nonconvocation for the January 4 away match at ‘Zini’ in Cremona. Upon learning the news, Juventus fans went wild on social media with comments that in some cases we can only partially report, because they contain improper and unjournalistic epithets.

“As it was meant to be proven after achieving his goal of keeping himself in training only to participate and win the World Cup now he is back to loafing…. Now we make even the chickens laugh! #DiMaria #Juventus,” writes Z. Monteiro, one of the many disappointed Bianconeri fans. He is echoed by Simone, who writes: “If Argentina played tomorrow, this d*****e would definitely play…. #DiMaria throw him in the garbage can,” and That Hunchback, who thunders, “rescind r e s c i n d e r and RESCIND.” To finish, Crimarongiu’s lapidary remark, “RESTRAIN THE CONTRACT!”
