Francesco Totti, lapidary against Dybala: “I would think carefully about what to do with someone who plays 15 games a year”

The influence of Paolo Dybala In the Rome It’s flawless. Since his arrival last season he has quickly become the star of the team and is sure to start. However, in the Italian capital he continues to suffer from the same karma that prevented him from being able to fully show his potential: muscle injuries. This is a daily illness for La Joya, who due to a small tear barely missed the current call-up to the Argentine national team.

Dybala’s season can be analyzed from both sides of the coin: He scored 14 goals and provided seven assists in 28 games. Beastly numbers. The other problem is that he couldn’t show his full quality on the pitch for more than five games in a row. Some fatal injury always appears in between.

The world champion has been out for 93 days this season due to six injuries.. If this data is converted into matches, a total must have been observed from the stands 14. And despite the affection they feel for him in Roma, their idol Francesco Totti has sparked controversy: is it up to the team that his figure cannot be constant?

The coach and reference, Daniele de Rossi, is clear: “The champions decide the matchesAbsolute cheering. But the concert of voices was awakened in Rome when the greatest eminence of the club, Tottihe disagreed with his former partner and clarified his position.

“We are talking about a top player, but in terms of the future we have to understand what the club wants to do and what objectives it has for next season. If I were a coach I would think carefully about what to do with a player who plays 15 games a year“said a surprisingly critical Totti.

And he argued: ““If I set myself an important goal to achieve and I have one of the most important players on the pitch in a third of the games, I am forced to reflect.”.

That lapidary comment caught the attention of Roma fans. Not just because of which side the idol takes, but because of the 180 degree change in his opinion of the Jewel. “Dybala is a phenomenonHe is above everyone, he has always demonstrated his value and I am very happy that he has arrived at Roma, he deserves everything. It’s right that the city has a player like him, of this level“, declared the Italian a few months ago.

Dybala wears 66 games played, with 32 goals and 15 assistswith the Roma shirt since his arrival in mid-2022. He has a contract with Roma until June 2025 His exit clause is 13 million euros, a temptation for the vast majority of venues on the Old Continent. At the moment no interested party seems to have knocked on the door to take Cordoban, who is also against giving a new twist to his career.

“I am Argentine and I will always feel Argentine, but Italy is a second home, and I hope it continues to be like this for a long time”, Paulo said some time ago. The same desire seems to be that of all of Rome, who aspires to continue enjoying his figure.
