Europa League Quarter Final Game (1st
Leg)
Benfica winger Angel Di Maria has played down a possible
move to England before targeting victory over Liverpool in
the Europa League tonight.
The Argentina international, who put Everton to the
sword in the Portuguese giants' 5-0 and 2-0 wins over the Toffees
earlier this season, is one of Europe's hottest properties and is
wanted by Premier League giants Manchester
United, Manchester
City and Chelsea.
The winger will line up at the Estadio Da Luz tonight in his
latest English audition but the 22-year-old refused to comment on
speculation surrounding his future.
'I am not interested in the rumours - in England they
look through everything with a magnifying glass but I don't have to
worry about it,' said Di Maria.
'At the moment I am only interested in Benfica and I think we
can win anywhere in Europe.'
Looking ahead to tonight's quarter-final first leg, Di Maria was
in no doubt over who would pose the biggest threat to his side.
'Fernando Torres is one of the best forwards in the world,' said
Di Maria. 'He is the big danger - but our defence has enormous
quality and can stop him.'
