Juventus manager Max Allegri has spoken about the impact he expects from World Cup winner Angel di Maria when the attacker returns to the club.
Di Maria joined Juve in the summer and has been a key player for them in the first half of the season.
The Argentine helped his country win the World Cup last week by playing a starring role in the final of the competition.
His performance in that game shows what a big game player he is, and Juve will benefit from continuing when he returns.
Speaking after his team beat Rijeka in a friendly yesterday, he said via Calciomercato:
“Removing the stop in March, it is a game every 4 days. They will all be needed, also because now the races are played in 15. Di María had an extraordinary final and he is an extraordinary player, he will have to be an added value in the second part of the season”.
Juve FC says
Di María has been a great player since he arrived at the club and we expect him to return in good shape for the second half of the season.
He is one of the reasons we hope we can end the term with a trophy, and if he shines like he did in the WC, we may even offer him a contract for another season.
