Di María revealed what bothers Messi at PSG and surprised everyone

Ángel Di María is one of the historic members of the Argentina National Team that achieved the feat of winning the Copa América title in the mythical Maracaná against Brazil. Di Maria and Messi share a team in the Argentine National Team and are now teammates at PSG.

Since his appearance at the World Cup in South Africa, his absence in the 2014 World Cup final and the disappointment of Russia 2018, Di Maria revealed details of his relationship with Lionel Messi.

Angel Di Maria enjoys Lionel Messi every day in the dressing room of the Parisian club is an honor and a pride, he assured. "I was missing the icing on the cake of playing with him at a club, because I had the chance to have great teammates throughout my career. At the time I had the chance to go to Barcelona, but today I am happy to be able to see what he does every day," he revealed.

Messi and Di Maria's day-to-day life at PSG

"We are the two of us who arrive at training first. Normally he arrives a few minutes early and then he arrives for breakfast and some mates," he continued about La Pulga's stay in Paris. And he went on to give details about the nickname he gave his friend: "I always called him Enano. Not at first, but when we got to know each other we did. As he calls me Fide, and I call him that and that's what I've been calling him for years and it will always stay the same".

Regarding the factors that cause him discomfort with Messi, Di María confessed that the worst option is to treat him in a differential way. "I treat him as one more, as he likes to be treated. He doesn't like all that show business and all those things, and that's why I think he gets along best with those who treat him as an equal. If you treat him like what he is:

an alien, it seems that you keep him in that bubble and he doesn't like it. He prefers to share simple things like eating asados, drinking mates, having a good time and laughing. We fuck around, and in front of the press I say that he is an alien, because that is the reality. He is the best in the world, but at the end of the day for us he is Leo, the Dwarf, and we treat him the same way".

Di Maria also recalled the episode experienced in the neighboring country, where many Brazilians supported Argentina because of their admiration for Messi. "One day he was with us and was surprised with the tattoo of him that a person had done. It said: 'No zarpado...'". And we asked him to answer him. The boy only needed the signature and he ended up giving it to him".

Regarding the hours before the decisive duel in Rio de Janeiro, Di María confessed the intimate talks he had with the Albiceleste captain: "Leo told me before the match that this was the final, that after so many years it was going to be that one. We went through a lot of shit and we knew it was going to be our final. Seeing him singing and enjoying himself in the locker room made you teary-eyed. Every time we hugged each other we would say: "We finally made it! After so many years, we took off our backpack.
