Fideo announced that his story with the Albiceleste will end after the continental competition to be played in the United States in 2024.
That of Ángel Di María in the Argentina national team is a story of resilience and redemption. Constant in the Albiceleste calls since Diego Armando Maradona made him real estate in 2009, Fideo was for years one of the main scapegoats in the criticism of the defeats in the 2014 World Cup finals and the 2015 and 2016 Copa América. mainly because his physical problems, which always seemed to come at the least opportune time.
The questions even kept him away from the national team for almost a year after the elimination in the round of 16 in Russia 2018. But even in the most critical moments, the man from Rosario warned that his time in the light blue and white shirt was not yet over and that He was available when Lionel Scaloni needed Him. And football ultimately more than repaid his love for colors: Di María scored the goal that ended Argentina’s 28-year streak without titles in the 2021 Copa América in Brazil and, a year and a half later, that was the big score in the final of the World Cup in Qatar, until he left the field in the second half after conceding a penalty and scoring the partial 2-0 goal.
Fully justified, Fideo turned the murmurs into cheers. And now, on the crest of the wave, he decided to announce when he will retire from the national team. Because he wants to and not because they don’t want him anymore.
