Full video, River vs Di María, Fideo worldie! “They spoke before” | OneFootball

The heckling of Ángel Di María began during the warm-up at the Monumental. When Jorge Almirón’s players stepped onto the field to do their pre-match exercises, the chant “Fideo neck-dryer” started ringing out from all four sides. A taunt alluding to his closeness with AFA president Claudio Tapia.

Later, when the stadium announcer was reading out Rosario Central’s lineup, as expected, River fans began to whistle, growing louder or softer depending on the name being mentioned. The one who got it the worst was clearly Di María.

And once the result and Canalla’s elimination were sealed, Fideo spoke and said:

“They beat us with a penalty goal. We knew these kinds of things could happen here. They didn’t talk beforehand for nothing. We’ll keep working. I think we had a great tournament, and we’re proud of ourselves,” he said in an interview with TNT Sports.

Asked whether the comments from the River camp before the match had bothered him, he replied: “No, calm. I think that… it’s football. These things happened before, but they weren’t talked about. Now they are, so well, that’s that. I think football is like that, you have to keep thinking about what’s next and that’s it, congratulate them… Hopefully things go very well for them.”
