Paredes and Di María share emotional reunion in Rosario

Argentine football stars Leandro Paredes and Ángel Di María, both celebrated World Cup champions from 2022, shared a heartwarming reunion in Rosario. The meeting occurred shortly before their respective club commitments: Paredes with Boca Juniors facing Newell's Old Boys, and Di María with Rosario Central playing against River Plate. Paredes, now a midfielder for Boca, posted a picture of the reunion on Instagram with the caption "My friend." The two players, who have shared significant moments both on the national team and at clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, took advantage of their proximity in Argentina's league. Di María, who retired from international duty after the World Cup, and Paredes, still an active national team player, were seen chatting, laughing, and sharing mate, a traditional Argentine drink. Both sported their respective club training gear, highlighting their current allegiances while celebrating their enduring friendship. Their bond extends beyond the field, with discussions about a potential future coaching partnership. Di María, being older, expressed his desire to coach alongside Paredes after their playing careers conclude, even mentioning a potential plan to manage Rosario Central first, followed by Boca Juniors. They envision an offensive 4-3-3 formation, a style that Paredes apparently favors.
