Di Maria: I think Mastantono is much more talented than me, and it s great to see him play well

Di Maria recently interviewed DSports and talked about Mastantono.

Di Maria said: "He started well in the Champions League, well, I think his talent is much higher than mine (laughs). It made me very happy to see Mastantono easily adapt to Real Madrid. He can establish a tacit understanding with his teammates so quickly. The skills he has, the cleverness of always wanting to outsmart and conquer everything, is a very good quality. I believe everyone will value him very much."

"For an 18-year-old player, I think he is really very unique. An Argentine player can now I am very happy to return to Real Madrid and represent us as well as he does. "

On the other hand, Di Maria talked about the reasons behind his postponing his return to Rosario Central, considering that someone threatened his relatives and friends after the 2024 Copa America: "My mind has been thinking about coming back, and I keep pretending to be this. I don't lie to you. Last year, I thought I couldn't return, but my wife has been by my side, working hard and making me believe that things will come true, and it turned out to be true. Today I have no words, Only gratitude and happiness, I feel extremely happy for my family."

Following this topic, Di Maria talked about the situation of his daughter Mia during that period: "When we have decided not to return, we were in Portugal, and my daughter would come to me crying at night and say, 'Why don't we go back? Why do they treat us like this?' For about two weeks, she cried every day and said that she wanted to go back, and we told her that we can't, but it's not possible for the time being. I said to her, 'Daughter, if I can't go back to play football, I will retire, and we will go back to Rosario Life. It ended like this, Dad stopped playing football, even if I still have the ability to play. ’ But she didn’t want that, she wanted to see me play football, it was a difficult decision, but in the end everything came true. ”

"These are things that the outside world cannot see. People thought I just didn’t go back, they thought I was eating barbecue, and everything was beautiful and happy. No, my family and I had a very bad time for two or three months. There was a Copa America, but what I was thinking about was why I couldn’t go back, these were things that people couldn’t see. ”
