DYBALA DREAMS OF LA AIBICELESTE CALL UP
Palermo
striker Paulo Dybala has seemingly ruled out playing for the Italian national
team, saying he wants to play alongside Barcelona star Lionel Messi.
The
21-year-old star of the Rosanero has an Italian passport and would eligible as
an Oriundo, but his aspirations are of a different nature.
“My dream
is to wear the colours of the national team of my own country, Argentina, and
I’ll do everything I can to make this happen,” he said in an interview with
Argentinian radio channel Radio Belgrano.
“I heard
about an interest by [Italy Coach Antonio] Conte but nobody ever contacted me
officially.
“I could
play with [Barcelona striker Lionel] Messi in the national team. I’m a number 9
[a poacher] but if necessary I can play in support of another striker.
“I like
to run for the team and help out the defence if necessary.”
Dybala
also said that he was open to changing clubs in favour of the Blaugrana.
“People
here are cordial, just like in Argentina. But I’d be willing to swim to
Barcelona if they called me.
“After
all, I’d just have to cross the Mediterranean!”
