Urbana Play

.

Regarding the confrontation against Didier Deschamps' team, he revealed that he found out "that he was going to start two hours before, in the talk."

"Luckily they trusted me again. From what I know, Scaloni spoke with Leo (Messi) to see how he saw me. And since he knows that I am very nervous, and in one more world final, he will surely have wanted to let me be calm and tell me at the end", he completed. 


He was also surprised when Lionel Scaloni told him that he was going to play on the left wing of the field, a place he was not used to occupying in the National Team.

The coach assured him that he was going to unbalance that sector and so it was, he even generated the penalty that became the first goal.

I feel like I could have done more

Seeing my family cry with joy was what I wanted the most,” she added.

Ángel Di María and his future in the Argentine National Team

"I go year after year, step by step. A very good generation is coming in the National Team that is demonstrating in their clubs. You have to go little by little. The coach chooses the ones who are best, he doesn't marry anyone. If I can get there welcome," he explained.

Regarding the friendlies scheduled for March, he said that "it's going to be something very nice, because the fans are waiting for these games, eager to enjoy";
