I leave with the bitter taste of not succeeding, but with the happiness of bringing with me many friends of this wonderful locker room of which I was a part. Thanks to all my companions for the affection they have shown me since day one, I have always felt at home. A big hello to all the Juventus players for their daily affection. A big hug. I carry you in my heart”.

Difficult season

Di Maria’s season was difficult, especially in the months leading up to the World Cup.

The renewal at that point seemed feasible, except for the new decline, the disappointing performances and the criticisms of the fans, impatient with an attitude not always considered appropriate. The final numbers say 40 appearances, 8 goals and 7 assists. His future could now be in Portugal, where he is looking for him Benficathe club that brought him to Europe in 2007.
