Critics can shut up now, says Reals Di Maria

Argentina winger Angel Di Maria scored twice in Real Madrid's 5-0 mauling of Valencia on Sunday and then told his growing army of critics to keep a lid on their complaints.

"I played a very good match that will force some people to shut their mouths," the 24-year-old told Canal+ Spain.

But Di Maria insisted he wasn't including coach Jose Mourinho on his list of detractors despite being singled out by the Portuguese for a below-par performance in last week's 0-0 draw at Oasuna.

"He says what he has to say and everyone knows how to take it. I know who I want to keep quiet," he said.
