A pig’s head with a bullet, Di Maria shocks: “If I had returned to Rosario Central…”

Angel of Mary has broken his silence. After the announcement first from Rui Costa and then from coach Roger Schmidt, it is now certain that the Faithful will remain at Benfica. But the dream hidden in the drawer by the Argentine right winger has never been a mystery, that is, returning to his homeland and where it all began, at Rosario Central. But “forces of greater cause” prevented his transfer to South America, as the former Juventus player himself told the microphones of Rosary 3.

A broken dream. “They (Jorgelina and her daughters, ed.) were the first to want to come. My wife worked all year to finish and furnish the house, to do all the moves, she had enrolled the girls in school, she took care of everything so that I didn’t have to do anything. The girls counted the days until they could come and live with their grandparents. The four of us were the ones who suffered the most, because before being the dream of any fan, it was mine, my dream, the dream of my family”.

Fear and threats. “I had discussed everything with Gonzalo Belloso to return. Everything. The threats went beyond the limits,” said the 36-year-old Argentine. Revealing the shocking act: “They left a pig’s head with a bullet in the forehead and a note that said that if I returned to Central the next head would be that of my daughter Pia.” But the desire remains: “I said it and I will say it a thousand times: I want to retire at Central, it is my dream and that of my family to return.” But at least for this season the Faithful he will be forced into “exile” in Portugal, at Benfica.
