Star of Rome suffered a violent robbery at his home

The violence against the players seems to have no end. After Ángel Di María's family suffered a violent assault at their home in Paris, in the last hours another assault that suffered a star came to light. Three armed and hooded men broke into the home of Roma footballer Chris Smalling last night, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The player, who was with his wife and his two-year-old son, was sleeping at the time.

The thieves forced the footballer to open the safe and took Rolex, jewelry and other valuables. About five in the morning, Smalling's wife called the police, who found the family in great distress. The agents investigate the case and look for the three hooded men. The defender did not play the Europa League match against Ajax on Thursday because he is recovering from knee discomfort.

As La Gazzetta points out, Smalling's isn't the first case of a player whose home has been assaulted. Last November, they entered the house of coach Paulo Fonseca to steal watches and objects worth 100,000 euros, although neither the coach nor his family were at home.

Ángel Di María suffered a violent robbery and kidnapping at his home

A group of heavily armed criminals entered Ángel Di María's house, took his relatives hostage, and stole a large amount of money and valuables. Averaging the second half in the match between PSG and Nantes, Mauricio Pochettino decided to send Leandro Paredes to the court to replace Ángel Di María. Until now, a situation that does not attract attention. The Argentine midfielder talks to the coach and immediately goes to the locker room area, something that surprised more than one.

But as the minutes passed, the reason for all this action was revealed. Is that in the middle of the game, Leonardo, PSG sports director, received the news that the house where Di María lives had been stolen and, according to what he was informed, Fideo's relatives didn't have a good time since they were kidnapped during long time until the criminals fled.
