Di María’s family was robbed and kidnapped this Sunday as a player on the field. The PSG footballer was substituted 62 minutes into the game against Nantes.
According to the French newspaper L’Équipe, the sports director Leonardo received a call to report the incident, having descended from the box to the bench to advise coach Mauricio Pochettino. Moments later, the Argentine expelled Di María and Paredes entered in his place, and put an arm around his compatriot’s shoulder as he led him to the locker room.
But Di María was not the only target: the RMC guarantees that the parents of defender Marquinhos were also kidnapped from their home during an attack. The two footballers live in the same neighborhood and both incidents were described as “extremely violent”, especially that of Di María, says the RCM. “Le Parisién”, on the contrary, describes a less burdensome scenario: Di María’s family did not notice the entry of thieves who would have emptied the contents of a safe located on the upper floor.
At the end of the match, which ended with the defeat of the Parisians (1-2), Pochettino referred to the incident: “Sometimes there are extra-sports situations that explain certain things. It is no excuse. [para a derrota]But these events lower our energy. “
It’s not the first time
This week, Di María renewed his contract until June 2022 with PSG, a club he joined from Manchester United in 2015. It was in that same year, in February, that the Argentine winger and his family were subjected to an attempted assault. and kidnapping. when they were having dinner at home. The security alarm sent the assailants fleeing, and that was also one of the reasons Di Maria wanted to get out of England, Wayne Rooney would later say.
