Unlike his South American teammates Cavani, Thiago Silva or Neymar, Angel Di Maria chose to stay in France during this troubled period caused by the new coronavirus. Like many French people, the Argentinian must confine himself at home, and only go out when it is vital. Instructions that he, his wife and two daughters follow. But the general context scares them:
“The situation as we look at it and hear it scares us. It is something crazy what we are going through, we are not having a good time. We have been isolated for 14 days (…). We only went out once to go to the supermarket. There is not much that can be done at home, "said the Paris Saint-Germain player in a remote interview with the television channel Telefe.

Jorgelina Cardoso, the offensive midfielder to 102 selections with the Albiceleste, was also present to discuss the situation. Live on television, she admits that her husband does not tolerate the confinement imposed in France: "He is not doing well," she said. I am with the girls all morning because they follow their distance education via the internet. I leave him a moment with them in the afternoon. He can no longer bear it. But the only thing we can do is stay inside so that it ends quickly. ”
"We are trying to stay at home so as not to catch it. We have very young daughters. The situation is frightening, ”continued the 32-year-old, before making the comparison between his native country and France. “What I have seen in Argentina is that people are paying attention, respecting what the government says. What the authorities are doing is spectacular. French television, I don't watch it. I ask people I know from the club, who speak Spanish, to explain the situation to me here. Whenever there are more dead and infected. It makes you very sick and you don't know what to think, ”sighed the former Real Madrid player. To conclude, Ángel Di María wanted to send a message of encouragement and solidarity: “We must listen to each other and think about each other. If we stay inside, we will go out together sooner. ”
In France, the coronavirus is much more present than in Argentina, with 37,575 people infected for more than 2,300 deaths here, compared to 589 cases for 12 deaths for the country of South America according to the last assessment.
