Di Maria Tak Mau Lagi Mengingat Pengalaman Menyedihkan di MU
Novitasari Dewi Salusi - detikSport



Paris - Angel Di Maria menilai kariernya di Manchester United sebagai sebuah pengalaman yang menyedihkan. Dia pun tak mau lagi mengingat masa-masa di Old Trafford.

Di Maria direkrut MU dari Real Madrid pada musim panas 2014 lalu dengan nilai transfer mencapai 59,7 juta poundsterling. Jumlah tersebut memecahkan rekor pemain termahal di Inggris pada 2014.

Didatangkan dengan harga yang fantastis, Di Maria justru gagal bersinar. Sempat tampil menjanjikan di awal musim, Di Maria kemudian merosot performanya dan lebih sering diparkir di bangku cadangan.

Di Maria pada akhirnya hanya bertahan selama satu musim bersama 'Setan Merah'. Winger asal Argentina itu kemudian pindah ke Paris Saint-Germain.

"Manchester United adalah pengalaman menyedihkan," ujar Di Maria kepada majalah L'Equipe seperti dikutip Sky Sports.

"Hal-hal tidak berjalan seperti yang saya harapkan. Saya kecewa dan itu tidak membantu saya bangkit," lanjut pemain berusia 27 tahun itu.

"Sejujurnya, saya bahkan tidak ingat lagi apa yang terjadi dan saya tidak ingin mengingatnya. Saya senang ada di sini dan itulah yang paling penting," katanya.

Lucas Bela Kinerja Di Maria di Man United

Lucas Moura merasa bahwa Angel Di Maria mendapatkan perlakuan yang kurang menyenangkan di Inggris. Selama ini Di Maria dianggap sebagai pembelian gagal di Manchester United.

Selama membela Setan Merah musim lalu, penampilan Di Maria memang mengecewakan. Ia kemudian dijual ke PSG karena dinilai sudah tak cocok lagi bagi United.

Di PSG, mantan gelandang Real Madrid itu kembali menunjukkan performa memikat. Karenanya, Lucas Moura merasa bahwa Di Maria memang kerap diperlakukan secara kurang adil selama di Inggris.

"Memang benar bahwa Di Maria tidak menunjukkan performa terbaiknya di Inggris, tapi dia tampil luar biasa bagi kami. Sepakbola adalah olahraga tim. Anda tak bisa menyalahkan satu pemain saja jika tim mengalami momen buruk. Di Maria mengalami masalah di luar lapangan dan hal itu memengaruhi penampilannya di Man United," terang Lucas Moura kepada Squawka.

Saat di Man United, Di Maria memang mengalami masalah. Rumahnya didatangi pencuri saat ia dan keluarganya sedang di dalam rumah.

Sampai segitunya ya Madrid

Terungkap, Ada Klausul Anti-Barcelona di Kontrak Angel Di Maria

Terungkap sebuah fakta yang cukup mengejutkan terkait transfer mantan bintang Real Madrid, Angel Di Maria, ke Manchester United pada 2014 silam. Kabarnya terdapat klausul anti-Barcelona dalam proposal transfer antara Los Blancos dengan The Red Devils.

Hal itu terungkap oleh Football Leaks, salah satu media yang selama ini fokus melakukan investigasi di dunia sepak bola. Kali ini mereka berhasil membocorkan salah satu klausul dalam dokumen transfer Di Maria dari Real Madrid ke Man. United, setelah sebelumnya mereka juga berhasil membeberkan dokumen transfer David de Gea.

Dokumen yang berhasil dibeberkan oleh Football Leaks kali ini adalah tentang adanya klausul anti-Barcelona dalam transfer Di Maria. Klausul itu menyebutkan bahwa Real Madrid "melarang" Man. United untuk melepas pemain berkebangsaan Argentina itu ke klub La Liga hingga bursa transfer musim panas 2017.

Jika Man. United berani melanggar klausul itu dan menjual Di Maria ke klub La Liga pada musim panas 2015, maka mereka harus memberi kompensasi sebesar 50 juta euro pada Real Madrid. Jumlah kompensasi akan berkurang pada musim panas 2016 yang mencapai 40 juta euro dan pada musim panas 2017 sebesar 30 juta euro.

Klausul itu tidak berlaku setelah melewati musim panas 2017, di mana Man. United boleh menjual sang pemain ke klub La Liga, selain Barcelona. Los Blancos tetap memberlakukan klausul tersebut untuk Blaugrana mengingat rivalitas yang terjalin selama ini.

Akibat adanya klausul tersebut membuat Man. United kemudian memilih untuk melepas Di Maria ke raksasa Prancis, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) pada musim panas 2015 silam. Kabarnya, klausul anti-Barcelona tersebut juga tertulis pada dokumen transfer mantan bintang Real Madrid lainnya, yakni Mesut Oezil yang saat ini bermain bersama Arsenal.

PSG star Angel di Maria impressed with beguiling freedom at Stamford Bridge.... the Argentinian showed Manchester United his departure was a failure on the club's part

* Angel di Maria provided Stamford Bridge with an attacking masterclass
* PSG star had a failed spell at Manchester United before leaving for France
* Di Maria played a part in both goals as PSG knocked out Chelsea

It always seemed that Angel di Maria's departure from Manchester United was more a failure on the club's part than the player's.

And back in England for the first time since his ill-fated year over here, Di Maria showed enough to to suggest that was indeed the case.

Of course, Di Maria might have left anyway, after the traumatic break-in suffered at his Manchester home by his wife and family. It would be hard for any family to settle after that.

But it never felt as though Louis van Gaal was going to fight to keep the Argentinian. He represents the very antithesis of Van Gaal's structured football, all feints and instincts.

Just as Franck Ribery was driven to distraction by Van Gaal's detailed instructions at Bayern Munich, so Di Maria looked the wrong fit for van Gaal at United.



Angel di Maria put in a terrific performance to help PSG knock Chelsea out of the Champions League

And it is United's loss. Wednesday night he was drifting inside and losing his position yet playing with beguiling freedom. Under another United manager you suspect he would have thrived and rebooted the club's tradition of flying wingers. How might Old Trafford had enjoyed Di Maria down the right and Anthony Martial down the left?

Di Maria played the neat ball to allow Zlatan Ibrahimovic to cross for Adrien Rabiot's opener. And he was dashing down the left to set up Zlatan's decisive second. He has always been one of the few in the game capable of opening up the best defences. When he left the field deep into the second half, the hard work has been done and the game won.

When on the right, he often allowed full back Marquinhos outside him, as he went looking for opportunities inside. As such, Kenedy had quite a night. Early on he acquitted himself really well. The 20-year-old Chelsea player looks like one of the better buys in the plethora of young players who arrive at Stamford Bridge only swiftly to disappear into the Bermuda Triangle, otherwise known as Vitesse Arnhem.

Yet the other pertinent note of the night was how much better off Di Maria is away from United and arguably the Premier League. If you want to play for a European powerhouse, you don't head to England these days.

Over the past three years we have seen this PSG side maturing as we have watched their annual clashes with Chelsea. First they were vanquished; last year they won a tight game in extra time; this year they were clearly superior.



Di Maria played a part in both goals at Stamford Bridge and showed Manchester United what they let go

They started in confident fashion, as though Chelsea were a side to be swatted aside. They were to able to sustain that; Chelsea still have their strengths and they only truly dropped out of the game when their best player, Diego Costa, had to come off on the hour.

Yet there was no doubting the quality gap. PSG are a serious proposition in Europe, growing in strength and confidence every year. They are not yet at the level of Barcelona and Bayern but they are heading that way.

'Champions of Europe,' sang the Chelsea fans. 'You'll never sing that!' Yet their heart wasn't in it. For you can easily imagine PSG singing that very soon. For Chelsea, contemplating their first season for 13 years outside the Champions League, it less easy to predict when they might be seriously be contending for that title again.

Manchester United flop Angel di Maria hits out at Louis van Gaal by insisting: 'He did not let me settle and I left to win things'

• Angel di Maria has blamed Louis van Gaal for disastrous spell in England
• Manchester United flop joined the Red Devils for club record £60million fee
• Di Maria was sold to PSG just a year later after failing to settle in at United

Former Manchester United playmaker Angel di Maria has hit out at Louis van Gaal by insisting the Dutchman's tactics did not help him settle at Old Trafford.

Di Maria and United looked to be a match made in heaven when Van Gaal forked out £60million to entice the Argentina international away from Real Madrid.

However the 28-year-old's big-money move to the Premier League proved to be a disaster with United having to cut their losses by selling him to Paris Saint-Germain for £44m just a year after breaking their club transfer record.

ANGEL DI MARIA: PLAYMAKER'S PREMIER LEAGUE STATS
Appearances: 27
Goals scored: 3
Shooting accuracy: 46%
Chances created: 51
Passing accuracy: 78%
Yellow/red cards: 1/0
via Squawka

Di Maria, speaking to the BBC, said of his time in England: 'It’s not nice to say certain things, but it’s more that they didn’t let me settle properly than I couldn’t settle.

'I left and that team are still playing the same way. Out of the European competitions, far from being champions of the Premier League.

'I don’t think it was my fault or the fault of my team-mates. Every time I was given the opportunity, I did all I could but it didn’t work out as I hoped.

'So I decided to leave, not only to be happy but to win things. I started a game in one position then the next game in another. I scored goals playing in one position, then suddenly the next game I was picked to play in a different position.'

Di Maria, who helped PSG win their fourth consecutive league title this season, believes Van Gaal should have done more to help him acclimatise to life in England.

He added: 'I think this also didn’t help me settle. It’s up to the manager to decide where and how every player should play, but I think that the player should be comfortable in that position and adapt to it.

'That is what I’m doing here and I’m very thankful to the manager [Laurent Blanc] for it. From the beginning he was clear where he wanted to play me and has never changed his mind. He gave me total freedom to move where I needed to move. I’m very happy here and it wasn’t the case over there.'

Di Maria will return to Manchester on April 12 as PSG take on United's rivals City at the quarter-final stage of the Champions League.

PSG host City at Parc des Princes on April 6 before the following week's return leg in Manchester.

Eks Pemain PSG Kritik 'Si Pemalas' Di Maria
Mohammad Resha Pratama - detikSport



Paris - Angel Di Maria memang punya skill mumpuni sebagai pesepakbola. Namun, Di Maria kembali dikritik soal sikap malasnya di atas lapangan.

Kritik itu keluar dari mulut eks pemain Paris St-Germain, Jerome Rothen, terkait penampilan buruk Di Maria di awal musim ini. Belum sekalipun bikin gol, Di Maria baru menorehkan empat assist dari 10 pertandingan di seluruh kompetisi.

Seiring dengan memburuknya performa Di Maria, PSG punya start yang kurang oke setelah menelan dua kekalahan sejauh ini. Saat ini Les Parisiens di posisi keempat klasemen dengan 13 poin, selisih empat poin dari Nice di posisi teratas.

Wajar saja jika Di Maria menjadi sasaran kritik mengingat dia adalah salah satu andalan PSG di lini serang. Padahal performanya musim lalu terbilang oke dengan sumbangan 15 gol dan 25 assist.

Di Maria dianggap malas karena tak mau berjuang mati-matian kala bermain untuk PSG dan hanya memikirkan dirinya sendiri.

"Masalah Di Maria adalah soal sikapnya. Ketika dia melakoni sebuah pertandingan, dia tidak berpikir dirinya adalah seorang pejuang, saya harus berlari, saya harus berusaha keras," ceplos Rothen kepada RMC.

"Dia tidak berusaha keras. Dia harus diperingatkan secara keras, seperti Ben Arfa. 'Jika Anda tidak mengubah sikap Anda maka Anda tidak masuk tim'. Tapi sulit untuk melakukan itu pada pemain berharga mahal sepertinya, dengan status dan titel yang dimilikinya," sambung Rothen yang memperkuat PSG sedari 2004 hingga 2010 itu dengan total 180 penampilan dan 13 gol itu.

Di Maria Siap Bersaing dengan Draxler
Meylan Fredy Ismawan - detikSport



Bordeaux - Angel Di Maria tak mengkhawatirkan kedatangan Julian Draxler di Paris Saint-Germain. Pemain sayap asal Argentina itu siap bersaing dan berusaha mendapatkan kepercayaan dari pelatih Unai Emery.

Draxler menjadi rekrutan baru PSG di bursa transfer Januari ini. Dia didatangkan dari Wolfsburg dengan nilai transfer yang kabarnya mencapai 35 juta euro.

Hadirnya Draxler membuat persaingan di sisi sayap PSG semakin ketat. Selain Draxler dan Di Maria, ada Lucas Moura, Jese, dan Hatem Ben Arfa yang bisa beroperasi di sektor tersebut.

Draxler sendiri terlihat menjanjikan pada tiga pertandingan pertamanya bersama PSG. Pemain asal Jerman itu sudah menyumbangkan dua gol.

Meski begitu, Di Maria tak risau. Dia yakin akan tetap mendapatkan kesempatan bermain dari Emery selama menunjukkan performa konsisten.

"Di atas lapangan, saya melakukan yang terbaik agar pelatih memilih pemain terbaik," ucap Di Maria setelah mencetak dua gol untuk membantu PSG mengalahkan Bordeaux 4-1 di semifinal Piala Liga Prancis.

"Itu bergantung pada pelatih dan saya melakukan sebaik yang saya bisa," katanya kepada Canal Plus.

Di Maria musim ini telah tampil pada 26 pertandingan bersama PSG dengan sumbangan enam gol dan sembilan assist.
