The story of Angel Di Maria with the Argentine national team took an unexpected turn in recent years. After being considered responsible for the constant failures of the Albiceleste, today his present is different and it is expected that he will start against Brazil for the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. However, from the 'Fideo's' family environment, they did not agree with the PSG player continuing to wear the shirt of his country.
"I told Angel that he had to leave the national team because it was very ugly to see him suffer and it harmed us. I cried a lot when they criticized him, but he never found out. If he stayed, it was because he once told me 'mommy, I'm going to stay because you taught me to never give up'," said the player's mother in an interview with the Super Deportivo program from Radio Villa Trinidad.

For Diana Carreño, it was not fair that her son was treated that way, but she remembers that she always encouraged him. "I always told him that he should never give up. It is the message that we had to give him and give to all the children who dream of succeeding. It was very painful for us to hear all the things we heard about him. Now everything has turned around and those who criticized him are now talking boldly," she added.
