“The Benfica manager knows that I don’t like to go out, but he is a wonderful person. He knows who I am, he knows me well, I leave everything on the field, ”Argentine Di Maria said in an interview with D Sports Radio. The Argentine player spoke for the first time about the episode that occurred in the second half of the match against Boavista (debut in the championship). At that time, the left-back was surprised that he was decided to leave the club after Musa was sent off. When he got to the bench, he even kicked a water bottle, visibly annoyed by Schmidt’s variation in a game that Benfica ended up losing 3–2. In an interview with the Italian media, the world champion spoke about his return to Luz, noting that after leaving Juventus he had several tempting offers for the Italians: “I got calls from Saudi Arabia, I got a lot of calls. The numbers they presented are incredible, but I chose with my heart, I wanted to go to Benfica. And after the first few weeks, Di Maria shows no regrets about her decision to return. “I am very grateful to Benfica and the people. The reception I received was not normal, it was a privilege,” said the 35-year-old, who has already scored two goals in three official matches this season. The stage at Juventus before returning to Luz was not what the player expected: “It was a difficult season for Juventus. I had several discussions with directors and technical staff because what was presented to me was not what I was told before signing.” Side Hellven aimed at eagles
