Obviously, he can surprise the world with his appearance, but he wants to use his talent to stand on the green field. The handsome Argentine gem Di Barra can not only make female fans scream for him, but also make male compatriots applaud his superb skills.
Once he was the data bearer of 20 goals + 10 assists, and gradually Dybala was still a talented existence even if he scored fewer goals. However, when he reaches his 7th year at Juve, he will find it increasingly difficult to position himself. When the fate is over, will the 28-year-old Dybala find his magical self in the next stop?
01. When looks and talent go hand in hand: Dybala was Juve's top scorer
Once Juve's top scorer: The highest-light moment against Barca
On June 4, 2015, the 21-year-old Dybala joined Juventus for a transfer fee of more than 40 million euros, becoming a small jewel in the hearts of countless Tini and Tina.
In his first year with the team, Dybala contributed 19 goals and 9 assists despite failing to continue his double-double record in Palermo, while helping Juventus win the domestic treble of Serie A, Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup.
In the 2016-17 Serie A season, Although the number of goals dropped slightly, only contributing 11 goals and 7 assists, but in the Champions League quarter-finals against Barca, he made himself the brightest star with two stone-breaking shots.
It is difficult to say that Barca's MSN lost tactically, but because of the existence of the three superstars, the Red and Blue Army did have the problem of insufficient number of defenders.
Dybala's flawless shot made him one of the heroes who helped Juventus reach the final. You know, in the first three years he came to the team, he only scored 6 goals in the Champions League, 4 of which came from that season.
In the 2017-18 season, Dybala scored 22 goals in Serie A and scored 26 goals in the whole season, becoming Juventus' team top scorer.
b. Looks and talent go hand in hand: his shots are too beautiful
Because of his handsome face, Dybala has always been a very popular presence. More importantly, his skills on the pitch, like his appearance, make people drool uncontrollably.
Dybala's free-kicks and shots are his biggest labels. With such a perfect arc, perhaps Argentine geniuses are born to be good at this work.
Dybala has left too many beautiful goals in his seven years at Juventus, and my personal most memorable thing is that he scored a free kick from a super small angle against Atletico.
You'd be hard-pressed to find the right words to describe Oblak's mood. Maybe being able to be the backdrop for this goal to go down in football history is also a less sad thing for the goalkeeper.
Perhaps one of the most beautiful images on the football pitch is watching Dybala lift the trophy. His smile was indeed magical, worthy of the name of the little magic fairy.
02. After 7 years, the fate is over: Dybala can't find his place at Juve
a. Dybala wants: the ball and cover his teammates
As can be seen from The range of Dybala's touch points in the previous 2 years, Dybala's favorite area is the position in the middle of the circle to the middle of the penalty area.
His talent release area is at the top of the arc of the penalty area (which can be simply understood as the Messi area).
Compared to the peak, Dybala's ability to pick up the ball and drive forward in the middle circle has declined slightly, so he will need the team to use Artur to support him.
Because Artur has the ability to control the ball, Dybala can drill into the opponent's two layers of defense to indirectly ball, shortening the distance of his own attack goal.
After the first straight ball is broken, Dybala will also try to withdraw the ball to pull the opponent's defensive position, while McKenny will also insert forward to form a horn to further distract the opponent's defense.
In the end, the goal was Artur against the pressure of the opponent's multi-player defense, diverting all attention on the central axis and sending a straight plug, after letting Keane do the ball, Dybala scored in the box.
From the GIF, you can look at it again, this goal can be said to be a typical Dybala goal, but it can also be said to be a typical Artur attack launch.
The problem is that in dybala's seven years at Juve, there are not enough goals that can really be scored like this. At the same time, Artur did not have the full physical fitness, and Juve wanted to attack around Dybala, but he also had more than enough and was not enough.
B. From Cristiano Ronaldo to Vlahović: Juve trust the team around the striker
So in the past few years, Juventus has tried more to develop around a core striker on the road to building a team.
Dybala's stats slipped a lot after losing the team's support and resource tilt, which also made him uncomfortable at one point.
In the second leg of the Champions League knockout match with Villarreal, Dybala should be full of despair after playing.
When Vlahović chose to take the ball and turn around this time, rather than back to follow up on the top of the penalty area, Dybala, ready to shoot with his left foot, it also showed that the coach did not ask his ace striker to give Dybala the ball.
After a subsequent offensive round, Dybala should know that his Juve career is over. This time, when Desilio picked up the ball on the flank, he chose to cross rather than cross the arc of the penalty area and unguarded Dybala.
The ball was cleared out of the box and Cuadrado took the second drop point, but he still did not pass Dybala in the empty position in front of the penalty area.
It's hard to imagine Dybala feeling at the moment, he has the opportunity to play his signature shot, but his teammates are not going to give him this chance.
When Juventus is out of the round of 16 in the Champions League, how does the 28-year-old Dybala defend himself as "having the heart to serve the country and return to lawlessness"?
03. High salary after the epidemic has become an obstacle to staying in the team: will the next stop be Inter?
a. It is difficult to stay in the team with high salaries under the epidemic: the data is also unconvincing
Can you complain that Juve don't take Dybala seriously? If you compare the data of Dybala and Sanchez last season, the Argentine is actually completely behind. In such a state, it is indeed difficult to make people have confidence in him.
The fundamental problem was Dybala's style of play, which made him have to find teammates to cooperate in the middle. The ball holding effect of the single soldier pulling edge is very general, and it cannot really play the effect of autonomous advancement.
The accumulation of injuries over the years will also make the little magic fairy lose its initial sharpness, and under the strong confrontation, it will also conservatively win free kicks, rather than trying to do more.
The impact of the epidemic on Juve is not small, the team's current income ranks 9th in the world, relying on investors to get through the most difficult years.
When Dybala wanted a new contract with a fixed €8 million + €2 million floating bonus (after tax, almost 20 million a year before tax), Juve was reluctant to satisfy.
Potential next home: Barca and Manchester United may not necessarily make a move, with Inter being the number one favourite
Judging from the current situation, although Barca president Laporta has always been very fond of Dybala, the Red and Blue Legion should not have brought in the Argentine little magic fairy if they had not lost their minds.
Because of Pedri's rapid growth, his area of activity overlaps with Thatbara's. If Dybala arrives, it will have a big impact on the growth of Barca's golden boy.
Manchester United, once eager to get Dybala, have also struggled to get momentum this summer. On the one hand, B Fee's positioning coincides with Dybala,on the other hand, C Ronaldo is not necessarily suitable to renew the leading edge with Dybala.
Perhaps Dybala's most likely next home is inter milan with Serie A. Because he is familiar with the environment of the league, if he goes to the Nerazzurri, he should not be too uncomfortable. After all, Sanchez is not young, and he will need someone to replace him.
In addition, if Spurs lose Kane this summer, they may also join Dybala. Because the team of the City of London needs a popular idol and a core of the middle road.
Conclusion:
In the 7 years of Dybala's juventus, he had a beautiful start and a sweet memory. However, as the team wants to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, Dybala seems to have not been the focus of the team to build tactics.
At the age of 28, a new adventure begins, and Dybala is not yet old. Will he be able to show his magic on the new team? Whether it is to provide resources for the middle of the road to hit the wall, or to give him the arc top space to shoot a bow and arrow, if these tasks can be done well, Dybala will still bring surprises to the new owner.
