In recent days, Ángel Di María has been the great toast of the city of Turin, especially after his superb performance in the away match against Nantes.
But whenever Juventus start to feel some excitement or feel a glimmer of hope, they can always rely on Antonio Cassano to curb the enthusiasm.
The retired striker appreciates the Argentine’s prowess, but explains why it won’t be enough to lead Juventus to glory.
The former Roma and Real Madrid star says the Bianconeri’s next challenges in Europe will be much tougher than Nantes.
Therefore, he believes that the World Cup winner could find it difficult to replicate his heroics last Thursday, especially if his teammates do not offer adequate support.
“Di Maria is not enough because in Europe it is a different football,” explained the notorious star in his last appearance on Christian Vieri’s Bobo TV (via JuventusNews24).
“Di María is a plus at Juve, but he won’t always play against Nantes. He can make four plays and score three goals, but I don’t think the opponent always leaves him so much space.
“The coaches are cunning and will try to neutralize Di María. I don’t think the Argentine alone, in a team without ideas, can go all the way”.
Cassano remains one of Max Allegri’s most vocal critics, despite sharing a Scudetto triumph during their time together in Milan.
