DBasia.news – Juventus legend, Alessandro Del Piero, thinks Paulo Dybala deserves to be captain of La Vecchia Signora in the future. Del Piero believes Dybala had grown and has a mature personality.
Juventus are on a mission to find a captain in the future. Understandably, the current leader, Giorgio Chiellini, is already 35 years of age and has began to suffer injuries. The Italian defender is predicted to be thinking of retiring.
In fact, the baton can be taken by Leonardo Bonucci. However, Bonucci has been labeled unfaithful after defecting to AC Milan.
So, who is the player who deserves to be the captain of Juventus? Del Piero has his own answer. He mentioned the name of Paulo Dybala, who has strengthened Juve since 2015. Although only 25 years old, the Argentine footballer is considered to have shown a mature side.
“Paulo Dybala has several times worn the captain’s armband. That happened because Juventus considered Dybala worthy of carrying it out,” Del Piero said as reported by Sky Sports Italia.
Before Chiellini, Juventus had an irreplaceable captain, Gianluigi Buffon. However, Buffon’s decision to leave for Paris Saint-Germain changed everything.
“I think Paulo Dybala has grown up in the last few months. The best example was when he dealt with what happened in the summer. The reaction carried out Dybala symbolized that he has grown,” explained the legend.
Paulo Dybala has indeed showed his love for Juventus. In the summer of 2019, he had received offers from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. However, the former Palermo player chose to be loyal and fight for a position at the Bianconeri.
