After Juventus’ hard-fought victory over managerless Spezia, Angel Di Maria has realized that “Italian football is generally very difficult.” He now turns his attention to Nantes in the Europa League. The Old Lady put in a far cry from their best, but they got the job done thanks to substitute Di Maria’s snooker shot and Moise Kean’s scuffed volley from a Filip Kostic cross.
After Thursday’s 1-1 Europa League play-off draw with FC Nantes, Fideo was initially not expected to play at all due to a muscular concern, but he came off the bench and scored that goal after just 10 minutes. He was reminded that he was Juve’s answer to Mr. Wolf, the problem-solving cleaner from Pulp Fiction. I want to help the team whether I start the game or off the bench. The World Cup winner told DAZN, “I am very happy to have scored, because, after the assist for Rabiot against Nantes, I wanted to be on the scoresheet too.”
