Ángel Di María was not called up to Argentina to play in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers next month, immediately speaking the forward criticized head coach Lionel Scaloni.
Ángel Di María has not been on the Argentine national team’s target list after head coach Scaloni removed the PSG player’s name from next month’s World Cup qualifying squad against Ecuador and Bolivia.
Di María was suddenly removed from the Argentina team for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in October.
Di María said that if he crossed out his name for being 32 years old, coach Scaloni should also cross out Messi, Agüero or Otamendi.
Sharing on the Clos Continental channel, the 32-year-old forward said urgently: “I couldn’t find a word to understand why I was eliminated. For me, the Argentine team has always been my goal. At PSG, I always try to have the opportunity to play for the national team. It’s hard to understand that I’m in good shape, but they didn’t call me.
If they don’t call me, it’s because they don’t love me, but I’ll keep fighting to be on this team. I am 32 years old? If people start thinking about replacing me, one should do the same with everyone.
So Messi, Agüero and Nicolás Otamendi or those who are in great shape should not be in the team either. Many people say that I am old but I keep running very well and I can match with Kylian Mbappé and Neymar.
I have been in good shape for the last 18 months without being hired. I will continue to show that I am fully qualified for the team. I always have a burning desire to wear the national team jersey. Every time I play a good game or become a better player, I just think about being called. It is true that I participated in the team for 12 years but it was my dream and I have always wanted to be involved“.
Di María’s last appearance with the Argentine national team was in July 2019 when he played as a right forward in the match for third place in the Copa América.

Di María played 102 games for Argentina, had a stellar season with PSG, scored 12 goals and contributed 23 assists to help the home team reach the final of the Champions League. However, he was sent off from four Ligue 1 games after spitting on Alvaro González of Marsella in a fierce match that saw five red cards earlier this month.
In addition to Di María, another star, Agüero, will also not be on the Argentina team next month, having just returned from knee surgery.
