The Argentinian Paulo Dybala and the portuguese crack Cristiano Ronaldo have not hit it off as expected in the Juventus in recent seasons, where the tactical coexistence of both has been problematic, and after the preseason coach Massimliano Allegri made a decision regarding the start of Serie A next weekend.
La Joya, who was not called up for the Copa América that ended up winning the Argentine national team, debuted in a friendly with Juventus last Saturday against Atalanta in a trident completed by Cristiano and italian Federico Chiesa. The Cordovan scored a goal and showed a good condition in a year in which he seeks to vindicate himself.
The Argentine forward, whose representatives are negotiating with the board a renewal of the contract that expires on June 30, 2022, wants to regain prominence after living one of his hardest years, weighed down by a series of serious injuries. He could only play 25 games and barely scored five goals. Negative numbers that he had not registered since the 2013-2014 season, when he was 21 years old and played for Palermo in Serie B.
The injury to the medial collateral ligament of the left knee suffered on January 10, which left him off the courts for three months, is now forgotten and Dybala The new season starts with Allegri on the bench, a technician who allowed him to reach the highest moments of his career, and wanting to be the protagonist.
In the aforementioned friendly against Atalanta, one of the most competitive clubs in Italy, he was comfortable playing in the center of the forward, with Cristiano down the left wing and Federico Chiesa, brand new champion of Eurocopa with Italy, by the right. All this, with the freedom to swap positions and alternate in the center forward position.
The result was as desired. La Joya scored a great goal for 1-0, before Federico Bernardeschi and Spanish Álvaro Morata, who jumped onto the field at the restart, determined the final 3-1. Dybala was on the field for 53 minutes while Cristiano he played until after playing time, when he was replaced by Mattia De Sciglio.
Also CR7, whose future is still wrapped in doubts, although the club expressed the conviction that he will stay until his contract expires on June 30, he was active and in good athletic condition.
For all this, it is very likely that Allegri will confirm the trident seen against Atalanta next Sunday in the debut in Serie A in the field of Udinese.
Juventus fights to regain the title of the Italian champion lost last season, when the Inter de Milan Then trained by Antonio Conte, and trusts that the good harmony achieved between the Portuguese and the Argentine in the preseason will be maintained during the tournament and can change recent history.
