Argentine Angel Di Maria revealed that he tore a letter sent to him by Real Madrid before the 2014 World Cup final.
Al-Malaki was suggesting that the player not play the match with the "Tango Dancers" team against Germany, because he had not fully recovered from the injury.
"We, the three of us, knew the truth, Dr. Daniel Martinez (Argentina national team doctor), Alejandro Sabia (Argentina coach at the time) and me," said the current Paris Saint-Germain player on a program on the Argentine television (Televi) on Saturday night.
He added: "I have been suffering from an injury since the Belgium game, but I improved by 90%. My legs were not fit but I wanted to play, I never had any interest in not playing football after that. This was one of the things that they told me but for me For me it was the World Cup final, it was my final. "
"I knew they wanted to sell me. Then the letter came," Daniel said. He gave it to me and told me it was Real Madrid, but I didn't even want to look at it and tore it up. "
He continued: "I went to speak to Alejandro and told him in tears that I am not fit, I knew he loved me and wanted to play, but he was looking for the best for the team. I wanted to try but at the meeting he finally decided to put Enzo Perez in my place."
Angel Di Maria also expressed his concern about the new epidemic of the Corona virus, which prompted many countries of the world to impose a mandatory quarantine on its citizens.
He said: "It is crazy what we are living in now, and the conditions we are going through are not good. We have been isolated for 14 days, since the President of France ordered a stone. We went out once to go to the supermarket. We try not to do a lot of things, and we stay at home. In order to Our children not to become infected. "
In the end, he sent a message to his Argentine citizens: "You should not go out. I noticed that people in Argentina take care of it and respect what the government decides."
