Angel Di Maria removes a few pebbles from his shoes

Angel Di Maria takes some pebbles off his shoes

40 appearances and 8 goals, including only 26 and 4 in Serie A, are the sign of a season, last season, clearly below expectations for Angel Di Maria. Max Allegri had strongly wanted him last summer at Juventus, which però did not renew his contract.

The Argentinean è then switched to Benfica and therefore decided to break the silence in an’interview to the Argentine DSports Radio, also reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport website, taking off some pebbles from his shoes towards the Bianconeri.

"È it has been a difficult year for the club. I never understood what è happened during the season. I tried to understand it and do my duty when I had to play. I didn’t play much and in the end I è sorry”.

“I had several talks with the managers, but that was not what I had discussed with the coach. Sometimes you realize that words are not worth much. Saudi Arabia contacted me and more calls came in. They were amazing offers, but I chose with my heart, I chose Benfica".
