Would like to see this. -------Biglia Masch --------------Enzo Lamela---------------- Di Maria --------------Messi Higuain coming on for Enzo and Messi droping to midfield/trequartista for extra offense. Let's see if Banega can do something this year and take the midfield spot. Or who knows, maybe even Pastore. Though at this point I'm hoping for a fresh talent. One of the ones Pipiolo mentioned?
balanced formation , but seeing messi style , will he wait in center of pitch patiently till the ball reaches him..? He do have natural tendency to drop back and collect the ball.
Tata saying that "he was not surprised at Di Maria's performance, because Di Maria is one of the top 4-5 players in the world." I believe Di Maria is not only top 4-5, but top 2. Jurgi Low saying that "they would not have beaten us that day in the World Cup final, even if Di Maria had been playing." Whatever ---- I firmly believe we would be champions if Di Maria had been playing.
Lets be honest, Ronaldo and Messi might bang more goals but judging from the impact on the team, Di Maria was having better a season. You look at Real madrid 2 thropies, Di Maria scored in CDR final and setup the winner in Champions league final and was picked as MOTM. Ronaldo did not even play in CDR final and scored most unimportant penalty goal in CL final history. Di Maria also assisted few goals against Barcelona in league play while Ronaldo did nothing (Messi at least scored hattrick and setup one in el classico). Di Maria simply their most outstanding player in those big matches. What Low said its not important because you cant change the past. Di Maria was injured and that's our badluck. The fact is Germany beat us when Di Maria wasnt there and few weeks later Di Maria beat them by himself at their home ground. Germany was wearing their new shirt for the first time with 4 stars on it and no better way to celebrate that with 4 goals ( at the wrong end )
oh how i wish di maria hadn't been hurt. it's a shame di maria isn't given more credit for all the great work that he does. he deserves more attention and praise from the media. does ronaldo have the same impact on portugal or real madrid that di maria does? di maria's hard work may not show up in the statistics, but it's there for the eyes to see. argentina without di maria looks a little lost and lacking in creativity. with di maria they are fast, creative, organized, and very dangerous. argentina had germany beat without di maria at least 2-0. with him? the final would have been over very fast.
