Di Maria hinted at retirement like Messi
Longtime national teammate Lionel Messi signaled his retirement from international football after Anhel Di Maria joined him. After the match against Venezuela, the midfielder said that this would probably be his last match on home soil in the national team jersey.
Argentina’s 3-0 win in the World Cup qualifier on Saturday morning, Bangladesh time, scored a goal shortly after the second half as a substitute, as well as the team’s third goal with Messi.
The 50,000 spectators at the Boca Juniors ground shook ‘Messi, Messi’. Speaking to reporters after the match, the Argentine captain hinted at his possible end in international football. He said he would think about his career after the Qatar World Cup.
Although he did not say anything directly, The Maria hinted at something like that in his Instagram post.
“Thank you for the love you have given me. Whatever happened tonight I always dreamed of something like that. This was probably my last match at home in Argentina’s jersey. ”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. Congratulations to the whole team for playing a great match, everyone played a perfect match. We will move forward together and dream.”
The Maria made their Argentina debut in 2006 with a match against Paraguay. So far he has scored 24 goals in 121 matches.
Di Maria is set to play in the World Cup for the fourth time in Qatar. The former Real Madrid forward, however, has not been able to shine like that three times. The net has only been seen twice in the World Cup so far. In the last 13 matches on the world stage, there is no assist next to his name.
Di Maria will definitely want to keep the World Cup red by overcoming the old failures. The performance of the last international competition can give him extra confidence. The Maria was instrumental in winning the Copa America, Argentina’s 28-year title drought last year.
Argentina beat arch-rivals Brazil by a single goal in the final of the tournament. Messi’s performance in that tournament was also impressive. By scoring and scoring, he became the best player of the tournament jointly with Neymar.
Likewise, the 34-year-old Messi and Di Maria will surely want to keep the last World Cup of their careers red.
