Dybala wants Messi back in the Argentinian national team

19 nov 2018

A steady growth at Juventus and an increasingly important role also in the Argentinian national team. Paulo Dybala had an excellent performance in his team's win against Mexico in a friendly match. The absence of Lionel Messi has allowed him to have more space for Argentina, but the Juventus striker has no doubt about the importance of the Barcelona superstar for his country.

"We all want Messi back in the national team. We all know the importance of Leo for us, but is a choice that depends on him," Dybala said.

"We are a group made of many young players and we need the support of the people. We trained at the at the Instituto Cordoba stadium, a place where I was born. It was very exciting, the people showed me great affection. I remembered so many memories, it was really nice," he added.

Dybala has collected 17 appearances for Argentina since making his debut in 2015 but has yet to score his first goal for his country.
