DBasia.news – Last summer, Paulo Dybala criticized Lionel Messi. He now claimed to regret doing that. However, Dybala stressed that his intention was only for the Argentine national team to get better results.
Dybala’s performance on the international level has faded even though he played well with Juventus. At club level, the player nicknamed La Joya has packed 91 goals plus 36 assists in more than 200 appearances with Juventus. In contrast to the national team, Dybala has only been able to make two goals since his debut in 2015.
The presence of Dybala and Messi did not produce satisfactory results last year. Following the failure of Argentina in the Copa America after it ran aground in the semifinals.
Reporting from Metro, Dybala had said that he had difficulty playing with Messi because he had to adjust his game to the superstar. Dybala now regretted having commented so publicly.
“My comment about him? I should have said it differently,” Dybala told to Argentine national team’s official website. “There are people who want to understand it with bad intentions.”
“I have never tried to criticize a colleague, I just want to improve something that is happening anyway. I will want to give more to Argentina and achieve better results on the team and on a personal level.”
“Even though I’ve talked to Leo, because we are both very tactically similar. Even with [Lionel’s coach] Scaloni we did it so we wouldn’t clash on the field.”
