Di Maria was in tears after scoring that second goal at the world cup final, its not all about winning for him it's about what he went through to get here.
For me, Di Maria is the key player in that World Cup final match 2022, he's the reason he led to the 1st penalty goal and scored the 2nd one after. Mbappe only scored after Di Maria was switched out. For the record, I don't deny Messi's and Mbappe's talents and their roles in the World Cup or whatsoever, I just want to point out how important Di Maria was in that Final match of World Cup 2022.
@@lionelmessi1085 Yes it is unpopular opinion, even to me, a life-long Argentina supporter. Di Maria's dribbling is as par, if not better than Cr7, but cr7 is better in everything else. Btw, I can't stand cr7 even though I recognize him as one of the all time greats.
@@only4anindya sadly, CR7 forced himself too much to play striker role. With his experience and smart play, he could shine as winger in WC 2022. All CR7 needed was 60 minutes of action and he could rest after that like di Maria. Sadly, maybe the managers, MU and Portugal, or even CR7 himself didnt see winger as option for CR7.
Muy petulante el fideo... extraño para una persona que creció siendo pobre de convirtió en alguien tan arrogante... su fútbol nunca fue de élite... definitivamente el real Madrid hizo lo mejor al deshacerse de ese jugador.
I have always asked myself...like a lot ..as to why Di Maria is not given enough credit or talked about?!? I'm glad he finally got the recognition he deserved especially in the WC. You could see how people were shocked when the Coach subbed him, calling it his biggest mistake. That shows how much Di Maria is of value 🥰❤️
Scaloni had no choice but to replace him, Di Maria himself wouldn't ask for a sub even if his leg was hurting him, it had to be done otherwise his injuries might have been way more severe. Lionel Scaloni is an excelent coach

Winners never quit and quitters never win. Di Maria ‘s humble beginnings and never give in mentality as many of the greats ,is what seperates the great ones.
@@chen10costarica78atleast this noodles got balls against other players unlike push over Neymar, won’t stand up to a player but will to a random fan. Pathetic the both of you. Good day.
Di maria proved himself in the Qatar world cup today, making the difference and helping Argentina become world champion again since their last win in 1986. Amazing player even after his prime!
Exactly, Argentina was dominating in first half was because of Di Maria. As soon as Di Maria was taken off the pitch the game went haywire. Di Maria and Messi duo is the best.
His the most underrated player ever in football , he was the best player in the world cup finals today while he was in , and coach took him out too early , almost cost them the finals , this guy has been soo good for years
When the coach substituted him and brought Acuna in, I was so mad........I almost smashed my TV in anger. If Argentina had lost it would've been because of that error and short sightedness of the coach.
I'm argentinian and I understand why they changed him. I absolutely loved his performance and he was my favorite player in all of the cup, but looking at the small amount of time he played each game I arrived at 2 conclusions: 1. His playstyle is so active he cannot mantain it for the whole game 2. I think he hurt himself in the progress: We all know he is one of our best players, but it was weird that unexpectedly he stopped playing even in the important games: In quarters he only came into playing in min 110 (and made 6 courners in those 10 minutes) It was an absolute pleasure watching him play at the finals, but at that rythim is imposible for him at that age to maintain that playstyle for long, even if it's even magical
Di maria is the 🐐 one of my all time fav players! You can see the joy and genuine love he has for the beautiful Game every time he steps onto the pitch
Even more so that Argentina would’ve won a cruising 3-0 if he wasn’t subbed. He had 3 people defending around him while he was in and once subbed, the rest moved up to help the attack
@@oreos922 I already he was a bit hurt but not that bad hes literally asked to play a tournament before saying hell take pain killers and doesnt care if his muscle tears for good
@@teezus2036 I'm not disrespecting messi I wouldn't be saying anything if messi scored in the final instead of di maria, messi didn't singlehandedly win the final you know

Di Maria was magical in the greatest WC Final, winning a penalty, scoring the second goal, destroying french defense and playing gracefully, magically, absolute legend and I'm happy for him equally as for Messi, well deserved epic victory. He was crying so much during and after the match, alive and very emotional guy and a unique football talent. I just wish he would play more for us to watch his sorcery on the pitch.
Di Maria is the Soul Argentina was lacking in 2014 to win the WC. Messi might be the engine but he needs well oiled tires in defence a solid carbon plates in goalkeeper and headlights to shine brighter than the biggest diamond in midfield in DIMaria . This is their single biggest chance to prove to the world they are the best to ever do it. Quatar 2022 ! Vamos Argentina!
@@islandkid4394 Subbing out Di Maria was the biggest mistake Scaloni made. It was immediately after his sub that France started to get their grip back on the game. Di Maria was literally running circles around the French defense.
What amazes me is how players like him can rise from some obscure little place in the world and at a very young age go through all the setbacks and troubles and pressures to reach the heights he has reached. It takes an amazing amount of fortitude and resillience.
His old club manager who said " you'll never amount to nothing" which being a double-negative actually means " you'll always amount to something" so...quite prophetic in a way
You should see his performance vs Italy in Finalissma 2022. He crushed Italy. He scored 1 and came close to scoring 2 spectacular goals. Worth watching
Give the man his flowers. Behind the decorated general is an exceptional, long suffering, hardworking and often underappreciated lieutenant. Congratulations Dimaria, the unsung hero. For without Dimaria, there's a high possibility that this world cup would have slipped away from the Argentina again.
Di Maria is Out of this World. The Best Argentinian in Qatar Pitch. Just full of Talent, he carried the Argentos to Win. I knew every time he plays the Game was solved.
Just to clarify Di Maria is from Rosario there are no mining industry there as is a flat place... his dad was a CHARCOAL BURNER, he had his own business and yeah, family helped. He was lower class but didn't work in mines or was exploited as a kid as it's shown in this video, probably based on a poorly translated wikipedia article.
It's literally from an interview of Di Maria himself, never said he worked in a mine. Just the mining industry, packing coal is part of the mining industry, even if not necessarily in a mine
In his last season at real madrid he put in some of the best midfield performances I have seen. As a man united fan it's a shame he didn't reach the same level with them.
Back here I'm basking in the cold winter sun with my mates celebrating Angel Maria, Messi and Argentina's victory since Sunday till right now as i'm writing this comment. Vamos Argentina frm NAGALAND India. (Argentina please remember us fans bck here cos u guys have no idea of how much wonderful and die hard loyal fans we are actually).
Argentine footballer Angel Di Maria boss,you are the best player who have never given up pursuing the sport boldly and achieved your dream of being a superstar through each and every obstacles which you have faced in your life!!!LONG LIVE,ANGEL DI MARIA BOSS!!!🏋️♂️
Di Maria is one of the greatest of all time too.. he always make the changes in every important games.. his clubs and country are lucky to have him.. one of my favourite footballer and human being at all times.. keep going Di Maria..
As a Benfica fan I've always loved Di "Magia". His arrival was tough, he was very skinny and weak, but soon became a huge player and was later sold to Real. Magician in the field and always with a smile outside. Hope one day he can return for one last season.
I hope he does, Benfica literally made him a magician but players will always go to bigger clubs which of course he should. but, I really hope he comes back to Benfica it would help the club so much and the fans would love him back Im sure

@@chen10costarica78 Eso es extremadamente grosero. Di María fue llamado serpiente y 'arrogante', pero ¿por qué? ¿Qué hizo él? ¡dime! Es extremadamente humilde y una persona con los pies en la tierra. De hecho, tuve una conversación con él cuando firmó mi camiseta después de un partido amistoso contra un equipo local en mi área. No es nada arrogante si lo conocieras pensarías diferente. I used google translate lmao so idk if the spanish is correct as I dont speak it.
@@matty.1899 .. well... you're right i do not him personally.. when he came with the argentina nacional teen.. he not even soy hello to the people and closed the windows curtain of the bus... maybe he just was having a bad day... in the other thing... he never had the level to be a super star... not enough level for RM. By the way I translate myself.. just trying to improve my English.
@@chen10costarica78 You Serious?? Won Copa Del Rey; MOTM for La Decima; topped the league in Assists; Assist/game ratio in Spain second to only Ozil. Aw, Shuddup!!! Obviously You Don't Know Football! IDI!😎
Di Maria is one of my favourite player in football history of all time I love the way he plays something special about him and when he retired from football I will miss him so much a really true legend
So inspiring I barely noticed that I watched this for 15 minutes! That top 3 of Argentina with Di Maria, Messi and Kun will be so hard to replicate in the future, they all beat so many hardships to become the top team of South America and now the world. Di Maria also got his revenge on Van Gaal and scored on both finals, he was finally rewarded after so long.
A little Di María anecdote: A few weeks after winning Copa América in 2021, an acquaintance of mine who works in shipping had to deliver something for Di María at his home. Di María answered the door personally, took pictures with all the delivery men and recorded lots of personalized videos for them and their families (I saw them). An amazing talent and a truly humble and generous man.
Thank you for doing this. I've said this since 2014 and will say it again now... with the Albiceleste, Di Maria is the most important player. He is Messi's right hand and the perfect match up for Messi. He is the "shadow" king/prince to the GOAT Messi and the guy that always turned up on the biggest games Argentina has had. One of the most underrated players of his generation, one who had more HUEVOS and definitely not a pechofrío. He was born for big games, both in club and country. Rosario gave him the power and he has given everything back to Argentina. Well deserved, GRANDE FIDEO!
I have been a Barcelona fan all my life since 05/06, I was a young boy and now I’m 26. I remember the days he was at Madrid and being terrified when di Maria would make those tremendous runs/movements/plays Terrified but at the same time in awe of impact he has on the field… He has always been one of my favorite players. I was sad to see he was injured those first few games of the World Cup but glad he was able to make the final The difference between him off and on the field is notable
I always think what would had happened had DiMaria not be injured against Germany. I think the outcome would have been difference between Argentina vs Germany
De Maria became my favourite player while he was at Real Madrid. Seeing him score in the finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022 Was so special to me. Absolute legend
Di Maria always has been great to watch. I was so happy when he joined Manchester United back then but it didn't work out for him unfortunately. At least he finished 3rd in the assist charts in the Premier League. He's a PSG legend despite having to play second fiddle to Neymar, Mbappe, Zlatan and Messi.
One note, Di Maria's father didn't work on a coal mine, he was a Charcoal burner, You ain't gonna get coal mines around Rosario. Which is not as dangerous as a miner, but still not the most healthy profession
Di Maria is above this group, he played consistently well. Haven't seen Hulk or Cavani have the vision to where to break the defence, something Di Maria always could get to
@@darthkothicame7822 Cavani is more of a complete Finisher than winger or someone having vision so his game is completely different from Di Maria. As for Hulk, he was known for his Physique, Power and Pace which just made him penetrate the flanks and take long shots which is also completely different from Di Maria's playstyle so the comparison doesn't make sense. But sure I accept that Di Maria has been consistently playing on top level for the past decade and a half
There are hundreds of players who are underrated DI MARIA shouldn’t be one of them, he was unpredictable and dangerous his goal sense is on 95% out of 100
Di maria has wayas been my favourite His ability of scoring goal even in tough times is much more than anyone else i have seen Not exaggerating I real thinks so In 2018 against France and than again in 2022
Our greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising every time we fall - Confuscious. Some people rise from the ashes like the Phoenix and claim their rightful place. The World Cup was the perfect stage for DiMaria - He set the stage for the penalty and scored the 2nd goal. His contribution will always be remembered with pride
He scored in Olympics final 2008 , Copa America finals 2021 & WC 2022 finals 2022...He has won U20 WC , champions league , Olympics gold , Copa America & a WC!!!!
His teammates who protected him at age 15 from the coach might have cried watching him score on their TV screens too. They were good kids to stand up for him!
Di Maria is my favourite player. Everytime he is involved with assists, on the recieving side or giving the assists, something beautifull happens. Even if he misses, his shot/pass look beautifull.
Di Maria is top tier generational player. It's amazing how Messi & Di Maria grew up in the same neighbourhood. The fact that they even played street football together as kids is insane.
