Weaker the past season, Paulo Dybala has picked up the fur of the beast in recent months. At ease in the device of Maurizio Sarri, the Argentinian striker enchances the very convincing performances with Juventus.
Dybala regained form with Juventus.
—
Like a phnix, Paulo Dybala (26) is rising from the ashes. After a very disappointing 2018-2019 season, in which he scored just 10 goals and delivered 2 assists in 42 games, the Juventus striker got back on track.
Figures that have swelled, goals that still count
You only need to look at his statistics to realize the very clear progress of the former Palermo player. In 39 games, Dybala has already scored 16 times, including 10 goals in Serie A. That is double the achievements in the league compared to last year. The Albiceleste, much more responsible by Maurizio Sarri, also compiles 13 decisive passes, including 10 in Serie A. This is, in total, 11 more than over the whole of the last season. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (28 goals and 6 offerings) is more decisive than Dybala, directly involved in 29 goals of the Old Lady.
Beyond the numbers, it is the importance of its goals that is of concern. Indeed, Dybala has very often been the one who has unblocked the situation this season: against Inter (2-1), Lokomotiv Moscow (2-1), AC Milan (1-0), Atletico Madrid ( 1-0), Brescia (2-0) and more recently Lecce (4-0). While he was sparkling in the new victory against Inter (2-0), with a fabulous goal, the South American found the flaw in his last post-confinement outings in Serie A, with in particular a goal and a assist against Genoa (3-1) on Tuesday.
Versatility that hurts
How to explain such a regain of form? It’s simple, Dybala manages to make its technical qualities available thanks to the tactical flexibility of the Neapolitan trainer. Although it played the majority of its matches in a center-forward position (71.7%), the Bianconero was also used as a second striker (7.7%) and as a winger (20.6 %). In these two positions, he managed to be decisive ten times (6 goals and 4 offerings), allowing Juventus to bring danger elsewhere than on the side of Cristiano Ronaldo.
And now ? Dybala will have to continue on his spear to find his best level, before the arrival of the Portuguese superstar. By finding the right chemistry, the two players could finally allow the eightfold champion of Italy in title to aim for the final victory in the Champions League. For this, it will be necessary to be at least as convincing during the 8th final return against Olympique Lyonnais, scheduled for early August, after a short 1-0 defeat in the first leg.
