Messi: ‘No issue with Dybala’

By Football Italia staff

Lionel Messi assures he has no issue with Paulo Dybala - “what he said is true, for Juventus he plays the same role I do”.

La Joya stated that he finds it difficult to play with the Barcelona superstar for Argentina, as they look to take up similar positions on the pitch.

This was taken by some to be a complaint, but the Albiceleste captain understood Dybala’s words.

“Paulo and I talked about that, what he said is true, for Juventus he plays the same role I do,” Messi told Fox Sports.

“With me in the national team he played further out on the left, which he’s not as used to.

“It’s more difficult for us to play there, I don’t often go out to the left. On the right we can cut in and have the whole pitch in front of us.

“I understood what he said, there was no need to clarify anything.”
