I will carry you in my heart” wrote Di Maria on Instagram.Pogba’s contract is suffocating Juve, Vlahovic or Chiessa – there can be only oneThe Argentinian’s arrival was supposed to be a big boost in Juve’s title push, but it didn’t turn out that way. Di Maria didn’t play much due to numerous injuries, but when he did, he was almost always the best player on the team. Former Juventus icon Gianluigi Buffon said upon his arrival to the club:“Footballers must be valued considering the context where they play. Today Serie A is technically poorer and Angel has so much technique. He is decisive in front of goal, he dribbles past his opponents so easily. He is good at delivering assists and runs up and down on the pitch. He can play in different roles. In a few words: he is a football player. Right now, Di Maria in Serie A, is like Maradona. Am I clear? explained Buffon to La Gazzetta dello Sport just a year ago.
