Di Maria also talked about the challenges he faced on the pitch. “The physicality of the game is very different in Italy. The defenders are very tough, and the tackles are hard.

Despite the difficulties, Di Maria managed to make an impact during his time in Italy. He played 52 games for Inter Milan, scoring six goals and providing 12 assists.

Di Maria’s experience in Italy is not unique. Many foreign players have found it difficult to adapt to the style of play and the culture of Italian football.
