In fact, the man born in Laguna Larga (Argentina) is full of praise when he talks about him. “They were three good years with Cristiano, the team was very strong and he gave us something else. In Argentina the rivalry between Messi and Cristiano is deeply felt, and obviously as a child I have always been on Messi’s side.”

Regarding the rivalry between the Argentine star and the Portuguese, Dybala recounted a conversation they had between the two of them on a trip: “Once we were going to play a game, I was in the back of the plane and he was sitting in the front. At one point in the flight He came up to me to talk about football and many other things, we talked about our life in general and at one point I told him ‘I practically hated you as a child’. We laughed about it and we’ve always had a good relationship with each other, a good dialogue.”

Remembering battles with the Juventusthe current Roma player also spoke about a ‘quarrel’ he had with his current coach, Jose Mourinho: “Against Manchester in the Champions League, when I was still playing for Juve, we had argued. I went to tell him that he did not need to make that gesture (gesture of the Treble to the Juventus fans, remembering his time at Inter). The first thing he said to me when he called me It was if I remembered that momentIt had never happened to me that a coach from another team did something like that during a game. But that episode stayed in the field“, he assured.

Speaking of Mourinho, Dybala highlights the importance that the Portuguese has had in the project. “Mourinho has an image and an important power for everything it represents in the world of football. Before arriving here, in Rome, we spoke twice, he called me when I was still in Turin. He is very good when he talks and when he wants to get inside someone. I felt a special feeling with him, It is difficult in the world of football to find someone who tells you things in a sincere way. I have a direct and sincere relationship with him, we talk a lot… We want the best for the people, he made football history. He is very sincere, he is good at preparing matches. Almost everything he tells you on the field happens. He understands football very well, as evidenced by the fact that he has won in almost all the teams he has coached”, he stated.

Finally, about the possibility of wearing the historic number ’10’ in Roma, the Argentine said: “Roma’s number 10 will always be Francesco Totti. As well as for Del Piero at Juve. At Juve, the club asked me directly to wear number 10 and it was a huge pleasure. Never say never, obviously it was a unique responsibility“, he concluded.
