It goes back to 1994, when Angel Di Maria touched the ball for the first time near Atletico El Torito. Rosario Central wanted to take the Argentine boy, so the then president of El Torito, Jorge Cornejo, accepted it as a “bargaining chip”, accepting 26 footballs.
Problem: The debt has stretched over time and is now paid off…almost 30 years later! The person who explained the situation is the current president of El Torito, Di María's first club, before he moved permanently to the youth team of Rosario Central, in March 1995, seven years ago on February 14.
“The director thought of the urgent need and tried to bolster Toretto's scarce resources. “The balls never arrived,” Germán Ángel said on the programme. Always togetherof Cadena 3 Rosario, in statements published on Friday.
However, Rosario has already fulfilled the promise it made to the player who has contributed millions of euros in transfers to various clubs throughout his career. “It was a very nice gesture because, in addition to the balls, there is a great need at the club,” said Germán Ángel, about the agreement reached at that time verbally, and perhaps for this reason. With a delay in timely implementation.
“The club never complained, because it was done according to their word. Today, neighborhood clubs are formed differently. “Let's use the balls,” he said. And they will come in handy, because according to Germán Ángel, the club has 800 young people.
“We have 800 boys. “The club works very hard,” he said, highlighting the social role Di Maria plays there. “It's nice to have a lot of people in training, but you have to be up to the task. We respect Angel a lot. “We know that sometimes you can't come here because of time constraints.”
