PARIS – June 7 (ONLINE) Argentina’s star forward Lional Messi will “thrive” at his club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) after current manager Mauricio Pochettino’s expected departure, Messi’s fellow country man and former fellow at club Angel Di Maria said, according to Goal.com.
“It seems like they also want [Pochettino] to leave,” Di Maria was quoted as saying during an interview by Goal.com.
“There will be a very big change, but I think Messi can handle it.
“It will help him to be much better next season. I think he will start very well because he ended up contributing goals, giving assists, feeling very comfortable and adapting more and more [late this past season].” Di Maria said.
“There are other players who will surely leave,” he said. “Mine was the easiest because they didn’t have to renew me. On the one hand it hurt and on the other, it didn’t.
“I left in a very special way. It was an unforgettable night, that an Argentine in another country has a farewell like mine, not everyone does it. The affection of the PSG fan, the ones behind the goal, is the most difficult thing to achieve.
“That I go outside that they sing for me alone and made a mural for me to sign are things that remain in the memory.”
