Ángel Di María is expected to receive a heartfelt farewell from the Argentina national team and its fans ahead of Argentina’s match against Chile on September 5 at El Monumental stadium.
“Fideo” is expected to join his teammates on the pitch, carrying the Copa America trophy, even if he won’t play. His participation in the ceremony is pending authorization from his club Benfica, according to reports from Argentine journalist Leo Paradizo.
Argentina’s head coach Lionel Scaloni spoke highly of Di María’s contributions to the team, emphasizing the importance of this tribute.
“Di María will receive a well deserved tribute. He is an example of perseverance, of continuing to try even when you don’t win. It has been a movie-like ending for him. He won and was recognized. He is one of the best that has played for the national team.”
