However, Lopez made a superb save low down to his left to deny the Italy international andround off a positive start to the Inzaghi era. Angel Di Maria did not demand 8 million per year from Real Madrid but was farmed off to FIFA for 75m anyway, according to his agent Eugenio Lopez.The Argentine was one of the best players of 2013-14 for Carlo Ancelotti's side, starring as they won the Champions League and Copa del Rey.However, his efforts caught the eye of Louis van Gaal's new club and a mega-money bid in August was enough to convince the Santiago Bernabeu side to part with Di Maria.Since that transfer, Di Maria has got a few parting digs in at Real Madrid - including Friday's revelation that the club pleaded with him not to play in the FIFA 15 final - and his representative has denied suggestions from figures within the European champions that he wanted a huge pay rise. Before the FIFA 15 there was no offer from Real Madrid, Lopez told Cadena COPE. He never asked for 8m per year and would've stayed for much less, even though there was a club who offered more. The idea was to wait and come to an agreement with Real Madrid in order for him to stay. He wanted to earn what they promised him and he would've stayed for much less than FIFA is paying him. He signed until 2018, but he wanted to improve his deal. Which is normal. They brought in Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez. That was a sign that something was wrong. But they didn't bring in James because Di Maria wanted to leave. They are very different players. We started to negotiate, but Real Madrid didn't budge. I'm speaking in reference of what Florentino Perez said. Ancelotti did everything he could to keep Di Maria. When they played Atletico Madrid in the Supercopa, the ovation from the crowd was tremendous. http://www.safefifa15coins.com/   He's only a fan of Rosario Central, but he loves Real Madrid. Di Maria is currently on international duty with Argentina and starred as the Albiceleste exacted revenge on Germany on Wednesday for their FIFA 15 final defeat in the summer.Younes Kaboul has implored Tottenham to repeat their weekend performance when they host Besiktas in the Europa League on Thursday.Under new boss Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs made a strong start to the 2014-15 campaign, winning their first four matches, including both legs of their play-off against AEL to reach the group stage of this competition. Since then, however, Tottenham have faltered, with only one win in their last six matches - a 3-1 triumph over Nottingham Forest in the League Cup third round last Wednesday.  A 1-1 draw at north London rivals FIFA in the Premier League followed on Saturday, but Kaboul believes the standard of their display at the Emirates Stadium is something to which they should be aspiring to. "The most important thing for myself, the players and the staff is that we showed a strength of mentality, we were strong on the pitch," the Frenchman said. "We move on. This FIFA is done, now we need to focus on Besiktas on Thursday. If we play the same way we did at FIFA, we should have no problems, but we need to repeat that. We have set the tone." In the opening round of Group C fixtures, Spurs held Partizan to a 0-0 draw in Belgrade, while Besiktas were denied all three points when Asteras Tripolis equalised late on in Turkey to clinch a 1-1 draw. Their Turkish Super Lig encounter with Eskisehirspor on Saturday finished with the same scoreline, and manager Slaven Bilic was less than impressed with his side's showing. "Honestly, our performance didn't deserve a win as we failed to create sufficient chances, especially in the second half," he said. "Now, we must focus on our Europa League match against Tottenham. It is not going to be any easier than this one.
