Former Atletico Madrid player Felipe spoke to the podcast Charla Podcast about the biggest regret of his career.
"I'm going to open up and talk about the biggest regret of my career, and if there's one thing I regret doing, it's probably the only thing I really regret and that's what I wish I could turn back time and not do, and that's what I did to Di Maria," Felipe said. When I came to Atletico Madrid, we were going to play against Real Madrid, and Sergio Aguero said to me, 'Felipe, if you approach Di Maria and harass him, he'll lose control and get lost in the game, go talk to him about his wife.' I went, I said, I cursed your wife, I said her name, Di Maria looked at me, I bowed my head, and then I won the whole match, he really didn't play well in the game. ”
I regretted it very much when I got home. Di Maria, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for doing that, I apologize to you. ”
Felipe's manoeuvres made Di Maria poor, but that didn't stop Real Madrid from winning four Madrid derbies that season (2010-11), including two league games and two Copa del Rey games.
