Juve-Monza, Di Maria: “It’s difficult to stay focused after -15. No excuses”

“It is difficult to go from having 38 points to having 23. All the work we have done to make these points… It is normal for things to go through our heads”. Angel Di Maria’s sentences in the mixed area speak to what Massimiliano Allegri said in front of the cameras (“Those who can’t think only of the pitch stay out”). “But they’re not excuses, we have to work to move up the standings – continued Fideo in front of the microphones -. We can’t afford to make these mistakes. But we have to work as usual to try to win the Italian Cup and the Europa League”.

Hard but no excuses

Also because Di Maria’s appears more like a photograph of the situation than his own position. “I think Allegri said well in the conference – the Argentine told Sky -. It’s certainly a strange situation we’re experiencing, it’s difficult to stay focused, but it shouldn’t be excuses, so we have to keep working and thinking about the next match “. And again on the defeat: “It’s a difficult period, we’re working to do the best we can. We played an excellent game against Atalanta, we deserved something more than a draw. Today, especially in the first half, we made many individual mistakes, but we have to already thinking about the next race”.

Responsibility and the future

Di Maria on TV slips away from greater responsibilities linked to his status compared to other teammates: “In this sense, no, but there have been many individual mistakes and therefore we must only think about working”. And in the mixed zone he adds: “The dressing room is doing very well, the group is stronger than ever. But when things like this happen it’s difficult. But we work for the future, to be able to do the best we can in the Coppa Italia and in the Europa League and stay as high as possible in the standings”. And also an opportunity to go back to his future: “I’ve said it many times, my family and being in a big club are important to me. My family is happy here and I’m in the biggest club. We’ll see what happens it happens but now the important thing is to get out of this situation”.
