Gentile: “Cristiano eclipsed Dybala, now he feels free”

The double against Zenit, with which he beat Michel Platini himself, confirmed what was already being seen in recent games: Paulo Dybala is back. The Argentine, despite the difficult moment of Juventus and his physical problems, has started the season with outstanding numbers: six goals and four assists in 10 games, with only 743 minutes played.

La Vecchia Signora is about to shield him, renewing his contract until 2026 with a top salary: 9.5 million net, plus three or four in variables. The former Palermo player has earned the praise of all the Juventini in the last hours, and also a legend like Claudio Gentile praised him during an interview with ‘SerieANews.com’. “I can only congratulate Dybala, who is proving worthy of the ‘bianconera’ story.

According to the former defender, Cristiano’s departure was good news for the Argentine: “Ronaldo outshined Dybala. With him, perhaps, Paulo could not give everything because he saw that the Portuguese was the one who always received all the compliments. “The forward, second captain after Chiellini, has assumed the leadership that Allegri requested: “Now he knows that the team trusts him and is responding with goals and great performances,” Gentile sentenced, “It gives me the feeling, above all, that he feels free.”
