Allegri Charges Dybala To Improve

By Joshua Walters

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is demanding for an improved performance from Paulo Dybala, and says the Argentine international risks going out of his match day plans if he does not.

Dybala played the full 90 minutes in Juventus’ 3-1 win at Chievo on the Serial A’s opening day.

He was, however, left out of Juventus’ 2-0 win at home to Lazio and replaced Sami Khedira in the 80th minute in the 2-1 win at Parma on match day-three.

The utility left-footed offensive player is one of Juventus’ trusted players, and his dip in form worries Allegri, who told a press conference ahead of Sassuolo’s visit on Sunday, that Dybala must acknowledge his lack of form and improve.

“I am very happy with how he started against Parma, already with a different approach. He has to do like others, he has to train, he has to find a good condition, and now he plays every three days, from here to December we have two goals; pass the round in the Champions League and keep the top of the Serie A standings.”

 "He did not play here because I made different choices, his qualities are not in question, but he has to question himself, I have to make choices, but if tomorrow he plays and maybe he's wrong, then he needs to make changes.”
