Real Madrid winger Di Maria happy with personal form

Real Madrid winger Angel di Maria is feeling good about his current form.

Di Maria is beginning to live up to his reputation following his summer arrival from Benfica.

He said: "Things are working out for me. I never thought about becoming a starter and playing in practically in every game because Real Madrid has great players. I was lucky enough to score goals and I've made sacrifices to show the coach just how anxious I am to play. He gave me the chance to be a starter and the confidence I needed to be calm on the pitch. Things have gradually become easier. I have a very good rapport with him and I hope it stays that way."

"The squad feels united since we all travelled to Los Angeles. The Club has come up with a great, strong group, ready to face the music in every championship. This is a tight group of players and Cristiano Ronaldo is an impressive footballer."
