Paris Saint Germain star Angel di Maria was left out of Argentina’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers squad. He was clearly upset at manager Lionel Scaloni as he named his squad earlier this week.
Di Maria’s 19/20 season:
Di Maria was the most high-profile omission from Argentina’s squad. With the likes of Lautaro Martinez and Paulo Dybala, Di Maria would have only enhanced the quality of Argentina’s attack.
Angel helped PSG reach the Champions League final last season. He scored 12 goals and assisted 23 times in all competitions and looks to be performing alongside the same level of Neymar and Mbappe. Di Maria told radio show Closs Continental, “I can’t find an explanation, I have no words. Argentina’s national team is the most important for me.”
“If I work my ass off at PSG it is to have a chance in the national team and be able to compete. It’s difficult to understand that being in a good moment I am not called. If I’m not called it’s because they don’t want to call me. I’ll keep fighting to be in Argentina’s national team.”
Di Maria reasserted his quality by putting him on the same level of his two PSG teammates, “Am I old at 32? Many people say that I am already old, but I am 32 and I keep running in the same way, in every game I show that I’m not old, and I can be at the level of Neymar and [Kylian] Mbappe.”
Moreover, he took to Instagram, “Whatever happens I will never lower my arms, I never did, less now. I always fought and I fight for my goals and my dreams, now more than ever with my head held high to continue, continue and continue.”
The Argentine is now banned for 4 games due to spitting on a player in their match against Marseille and will be spending some time off.
