'Angel could teach you how to cry': Di Maria’s wife aims brutal dig at Adil Rami amid everlasting World Cup row
Angel di Maria's wife Jorgelina Cardozo launched a vicious jab at Adil Rami as their feud over Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez rumbles on. Martinez, 30, who played a crucial role in Argentina's penalty shootout victory, caused a stir by gyrating his Golden Glove trophy on his crotch at the world cup final and mocking Kylian Mbappe by clutching a baby doll with his face during the bus parade celebrations in Buenos Aires.
Martinez's antics sparked a backlash from former France star Rami, 37, who insulted him saying, "The biggest son of a b**** in football. The most hated man." Di Maria, 34, was quick to defend his team-mate, Martinez, saying: “El Dibu [Martinez] is the best goalkeeper in the world. Go cry elsewhere.” Rami then intensified the row and responded to Di Maria by posting a screenshot of a tweet that contained pictures of him crying. "Can you teach me? When you lose, when you win, when you leave a club, when you see this tweet." He added, according to The Sun.
After Rami's latest jibe, Di Maria’s wife, Jorgelina decided to rip into Rami by posting a story on Instagram reading, “Angel can teach you how to cry, how to handle a woman, and how to score a goal in finals! Happy new year genius.”
