Ángel Di María expressed his joy after scoring the goal that gave Rosario Central a 1-0 win over Newell's in the classic and criticized the defensive approach of La Lepra (which had Alejo Montero, Luciano Lollo, Fabián Noguera, Víctor Cuesta, and Ángelo Martino in defense) and the rest of the Canalla's rivals: "All teams play with five defenders against us."
About the last matches played by Ariel Holan's team, Fideo continued: "That means they respect us, they saw what Central did last semester and it's still the same. Is it harder? Yes, but it's hard for everyone."
In turn, the Qatar world champion highlighted the team's performance, which is undefeated and sixth with ten points in zone B: "We're doing things very well, working well. Argentine football is difficult, complicated, there are many matches that end 0-0 or 1-0, River had a draw yesterday in the final."
He also referred to the drought of his teammates, Enzo Copetti and Alejo Véliz (the latter scored only one goal): "It's hard for everyone to score, not just Copetti or Alejo, all the forwards. We have the tranquility of getting points for the playoffs and the general, we have to keep working on tactics, technique, and try to convert more."
On the other hand, the 37-year-old winger said that "it's immense joy to have been able to score in the classic" and added: "I was under pressure because I still hadn't won and had that pressure, more than anything for my family, who suffers in difficult moments."
He also acknowledged that most of his former teammates from the National Team wrote to congratulate him on such a definition and pointed out that he is going through a unique moment: "What happened in the National Team was a dream. I don't even believe in everything that's happening at the end of my career, so I'm very happy. Living what I'm living here, coming every day and being happy, enjoying every day, is something very nice. I try to have fun every moment. Hopefully, I can keep writing stories."
Finally, he referred to the presence of former striker Marco Ruben in the stadium: "He's the maximum idol of the club, I always said it and it made me very happy that he was there. I knew because at one point the people's chant for him was heard."
