Paulo Dybala spoke about his departure from Juventus and his move to Roma and provided an update on his physical conditions to ESPN Argentina and Tyc Sports while he’s in Miami with La Seleccion.
“The last few years in Turin were difficult, and the change of scenery was beneficial. I decided quickly after José Mourinho called me. He and the sporting director described their project and their desire to keep winning. Being a protagonist in a team like the Giallorossi helps me a lot. Their fans are as passionate as my compatriots. It’s a different environment, and I feel their affection. I’m very happy here, and that makes everything easier.”
“An episode involving the coach stuck with me. Last year, I was subbed me out while we were winning in Rome, he approached and told me I was a great player. I didn’t know what would happen with Juventus at the time. He asked me if I recalled that when we talked over the phone, and invited me to join him. I was surprised by his great humility, even though he portrays a different image.”
Dybala added that the injury that forced him to miss the Atalanta game isn’t serious.
“I was dealing with muscle fatigue Sunday, I wasn’t 100 percent and the doctors knew it. I had to skip one game to avoid being sidelined for a month, but I wanted to answer the call-up by Argentina since the World Cup is near.”
La Joya further dished on his farewell with the Bianconeri.
“Unfortunately, I didn’t have consistency last season due to multiple injuries, but my numbers were good. Being a free agent made me question was what happening in football. It was unexpected because we had an agreement in place, but then the club and the coach changed their plans.”
