Di Maria is Madrid's best player, says Simeone

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Atletico boss Diego Simeone says Angel Di Maria is Real Madrid's best player and believes the Argentine's introduction changed the first leg of the Spanish Supercopa on Tuesday night. Di Maria was left on the bench by Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti for the second time in a row this term, but came on for Luka Modric with 12 minutes remaining and immediately caused havoc in the visitors' defence. The 26-year-old winger, who is unsettled following the summer signing of James Rodriguez and may still leave the club this summer, was not directly involved as the Colombian opened the scoring but gave life to a previously sterile Madrid attack and the goal arrived just three minutes after his introduction. "The game changed with Di Maria," Simeone said afterwards. "It's logical - he's the best player they have." Asked if he really believes his compatriot to be Madrid's finest footballer, the Atleti coach added: "He's the player most likely to create openings in the opposition half."
