Angel Di Maria

Early Life:

Di María was born on 14 February 1988 in Rosario, Argentina. He was unusually active, and on recommendation of a doctor was signed up for football at the age of three. He also helped his parents with their work at a local coal yard along with his two sisters. Due to the low income his family earned, purchasing football boots and keeping up with Di María's hobby was difficult for his parents. He asked his father not to work anymore and bought a house for his parents and sisters.

Culb Career:

At the age of four, Di María joined Rosario Central. As he had already committed to playing for his local club, Torito, 35 footballs were given in compensation. He was also approached by English club Arsenal, a move that fell through due to the United Kingdom's strict rules on issuing work permits to players from outside the European Union. Di María signed a new deal with Benfica in October 2009, adding three more years to his current deal.

In Argentina's 5−0 friendly win over Canada on 24 May, on 11 August 2010, he scored the first ever international goal at Dublin's new Aviva Stadium in a friendly against Ireland as Argentina won 1–0.
