Paulo’s first error in 19 attempts with Roma: the last error with the clubs was on 30 November 2021. Between criticism, decisive goals and physical problems, his season took a negative turn. The coach: “We’ll see it after the break”
For once Paulo Dybala is not criticized for how much (little) he runs but for what he does while standing still. Milan-Roma was a black evening for him, condensed into one terrible minute. He missed a penalty and injured himself when he kicked it. “The injury weighs even more than the penalty – said Gasperini at the end, giving the first news -. He will be able to recover after the break. It is the most important loss of the evening”. No thought about the matches against Rangers and Udinese: Gasp already considers them impossible. Furthermore, in 2022, against Lecce, Dybala was hurt while taking a penalty

The data on penalties, of course, is sensational. Dybala made the first mistake of all the competitions with Roma: so far he was 18 out of 18, an almost unreal clear path, as an absolute specialist. His last mistake with clubs was on November 30, 2021, when he played for Juventus against Salernitana. A lifetime ago. Be careful, in these four years Dybala scored the most important penalty of his life, in the World Cup final against France. This mistake, however, makes you think of 2016, it makes you think of Doha. Dybala crossed with the left foot also in the Super Cup lost against Milan and made a mistake. That time he kicked better, near the intersection, and found Donnarumma with Superman’s cape. Anyone who doesn’t remember, take a minute to YouTube: one of the most impressive saves in Gigio’s career.
adductor injury

Dybala, just after the error from the spot, touched his adductor and asked for a substitution. On the bench, he watched the game with a shirt over his mouth, disheartened. The psychological blow would knock out many players because, after problematic years, Paulo had found continuity. This Sunday, however, brings the controversies of his life back to the stage: an injury and an important match played badly. In the second part of October, Dybala had started five games in a row and had decided those against Viktoria Plzen and Sassuolo. It was a Dybala different from that of the good Juventus days but still effective, still a fixed point for Gasperini, who made him play once again as an atypical center forward. And now? And now more ice, more exams, more evenings and afternoons watching my classmates. Luckily Oriana’s belly will swell again.
