After having experienced the confinement with difficulty, Angel Di Maria blows in the south of France with his family. In a rich interview with L'Équipe, the 32-year-old Argentine PSG striker returned to this period by revealing an attachment to Paris and to France that we knew very little about. He also mentioned the other important themes of his current affairs and that of the PSG.
Confinement in Paris. “In two months, I only had to go out once or twice to go shopping. […] I knew that if I had the slightest problem, I would call the club and within ten minutes, we would find a solution. If we had a problem, there was the doctor, the hospital. […] And then, Paris is my city today, so it was natural to go through this period here. "
The end of the championship. “Like many, I think we rushed to make such a decision [to stop the championship]. […] While our opponents are chaining matches, we will practice. "
Serving Mbappé and Neymar. “The key to a team is that everyone knows their role and that of their partners, and sticks to it. […] Take our team: you know that Kylian (Mbappé) and Ney are the two most important players and that afterwards there are the others. You can think what you want, but it's reality. That's how it is in football: you have the best, those who are not far away, and those who accompany, behind. "
The controversial birthday with Cavani and Icardi. "Wasn't it the perfect time for such a party?" Yes, it's true. We apologized to the club, to the supporters. We had just bowed in Dortmund (note: 1-2, two days earlier) but everything was organized, there were lots of guests, we couldn't cancel because of a match. […] In the end, I think that everything that was said about it, that we had not respected the club… we responded to it in the return match. […] All the people who threw shit at us, we showed them that the team was more united than ever. "
His future, one year from the end of his contract. "Ending my career in Europe with PSG is the only thing I want and have in mind. […] As for the rest, I don't know for the moment. No discussions have been initiated and this is not my intention at this time. "

The Argentine selection. “I have just had a superb season and I have not been called once. […] Finally, with the events, the event (Copa America) will take place in the summer of 2021. […] It doesn't matter if it is to be a holder or a replacement, I want to be there and try to win something with selection. "
