Angel Di Maria, the talented winger who has played for top football clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus, is facing a horrifying situation involving threats to his family. Reports suggest that Di Maria’s family has received death threats if the player returns to his hometown of Rosario, Argentina. This shocking news has left fans and football enthusiasts concerned about the safety and well-being of the player’s loved ones.
Di Maria left Rosario in 2007 when he signed for Benfica, beginning his successful career in European football. Despite achieving great success and becoming an icon in his home country, it seems that Di Maria’s fame has come with a dark side. According to Mdzol.com, a note was thrown at one of the entrances to the private neighborhood of Miraflores in Rosario. The note, which was allegedly thrown from a passing car at 2:30 am, contained a chilling message that threatened Di Maria’s family.
The note read, “Tell your son Angel not to return to Rosario again because otherwise we will screw him up by killing a family member. Not even Pullaro is going to save you. We don’t throw away pieces of paper. We throw lead and dead people.” The mention of “Pullaro” refers to Maximiliano Pullaro, the Governor of Santa Fe Province. The police have seized the note and are currently investigating the scene to ensure the safety of Di Maria’s family.
This distressing incident is reminiscent of a similar situation that occurred just a year ago. The front of a Rosario supermarket chain owned by the family of Lionel Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, was shot at, intensifying concerns about the safety of footballers’ families in the region. A message found at the scene during that incident read, “Messi, we are waiting for you. Javkin is also a drug trafficker, he is not going to take care of you.”
The threats against Di Maria’s family highlight the unfortunate reality that fame and success can attract dangerous attention. It is a distressing reminder that even sports stars, who are idolized by millions, are not immune to threats and violence. The authorities must take these threats seriously and ensure the safety of Di Maria’s family and other individuals who may be at risk.
As fans and admirers of Angel Di Maria, we can only hope that the investigations lead to the apprehension of those responsible for these threats. In the meantime, it is crucial for football clubs, governing bodies, and law enforcement agencies to work together to provide adequate security measures for players and their families. No individual should have to live in fear simply because of their profession.
The situation facing Angel Di Maria and his family is a stark reminder that behind the glitz and glamour of the football world, there are real people with real lives, who deserve to be protected and supported. Let us stand together in condemning these threats and advocating for the safety and well-being of all individuals involved in the beautiful game.
