Chanchi Estévez takes another swipe at Di María: ‘See a psychologist’ | OneFootball

Racing and Rosario Central played a clash loaded with controversy at the Gigante de Arroyito, which was ultimately decided 2-1 in favor of the home side. After the match, Ángel Di María posted a lengthy message on his Instagram account directly targeting Diego Milito, president of La Academia, who described the game as a robbery against the visitors. In this context, Maximiliano “Chanchi” Estévez, a former player for the Avellaneda club, once again confronted “Fideo.”

“No one is questioning Rosario Central; the issue is the nonsense Di María said. When Central went through a bad spell at some point, we all said it,” he began in remarks to Radio La Red. He also referred to referee Darío Herrera’s performance and described it as “terrible,” asserting that Racing suffered a huge injustice last Tuesday in Arroyito. He also added that “it would be different if there were a former football player in the VAR room” (Editor’s note: Pablo Dóvalo filled that role).

Finally, he also questioned the phrase in which Di María claimed that people are bothered by teams from the country’s interior winning. “If you have a complex about being from the interior, go see a psychologist,” Chanchi fired back, reinforcing a view he himself had already expressed on social media.

The day after the World Cup champion’s statement, Estévez reposted the publication and wrote: “What’s fair is fair, yesterday Racing were harmed. The injustice was before and it is now. If you have to be the one to come out and say this and the person responsible for refereeing or the AFA doesn’t, then we’re in serious trouble.” In the radio interview, he was asked about the reaction to that message and, in a somewhat ironic tone, replied: “Di María didn’t write to me; he probably doesn’t even know who I am.”

Thus, Rosario Central will visit River next Saturday starting at 7:30 p.m. in the semifinals of the local tournament. In the other bracket, Argentinos Juniors (coming off eliminating Huracán) and Belgrano de Córdoba (who knocked out Unión de Santa Fe) will battle for the second spot in the championship final, which will be played at the Mario Alberto Kempes.
