Away from Benfica, Di María shares updates on his compatriot: “I wasn’t…” | OneFootball

After leaving Benfica at the end of last season, Di María commented on news about his compatriot's career.

Back in Argentina, where he plays for Rosario Central, Ángel Di María recently commented on the news surrounding Lionel Messi and Nicolás Otamendi, who will soon stop playing for the Albiceleste. Faced with the situation, the winger who shone at Benfica does not believe it is over.

Speaking to TyC Sports, the former Argentine international does not believe that Messi is leaving the Albiceleste, recalling that there is still a tournament to compete in: “Leo is not done yet. It was his last qualifying match, but he still has a World Cup ahead of him and there will certainly be another match after that.”

Next, believing that this is not a farewell for now, the former red and white winger explained why he did not attend the match in question: “For me, it wasn’t a farewell. That’s why I didn’t go. I spoke with him. I’m happy that he’s still here.”

It is worth remembering that both the number 10 and number 19 of the world champions will be present in the early hours of Wednesday, September 10, for the last qualifying match, away against Ecuador. After that, Argentina will play several preparatory matches until the official start of the World Cup, which will take place in North and Central America.
