SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Pertandingan final Copa America antara Argentina vs Kolombia akan menjadi laga perpisahan untuk gelandang Angel Di Maria. Pemain timnas Argentina itu sudah memutuskan akan pensiun dari tim nasional usai final berlangsung.

“Saya tidak siap untuk memainkan laga terakhir tetapi waktunya telah tiba,” kata Di Maria usai laga semifinal kontra Kanada seperti dilansir ESPN Argentina.

Di Maria kini sudah berusia 36 tahun, bukan usia muda untuk seorang pemain tim nasional. Ia memulai debutnya di Tim Tango pada 6 September 2008. 

Sejak saat itu, Di Maria menjadi salah satu pemain yang rutin dipanggil masuk ke tim nasional Argentina. Total dia telah memainkan 144 pertandingan selama 16 tahun.

Buku sejarah timnas Argentina pun mencatatkan namanya sebagai pemain dengan caps terbanyak setelah Lionel Messi (185) dan Javier Mascherano (147). 

Selama berkarier di timnas Argentina, Di Maria ikut berjasa mempersembahkan trofi Copa America 2021 dan Piala Dunia 2022.

“Semoga saya dapat mengakhiri musim dengan cara terbaik bersama seragam tim ini,” katanya.

“Namun apa pun yang terjadi, saya dapat pergi dengan penuh semangat,” ujarnya menambahkan.
