Argentina CT Gerardo Martino says Juventus striker Paulo Dybala has “enormous potential”.
The Bianconeri forward has been included in the Albiceleste squad to face Ecuador and Paraguay, and could win his first cap.
“We had the chance to call a player like Dybala,” Martino explained to Diario Olé.
“We did it so he can get himself familiarised with the team. He’s a player with enormous potential, he’s become a star in one of the toughest Leagues in the world.
Argentina CT Gerardo Martino says Juventus striker Paulo Dybala has “enormous potential”.
The Bianconeri forward has been included in the Albiceleste squad to face Ecuador and Paraguay, and could win his first cap.
“We had the chance to call a player like Dybala,” Martino explained to Diario Olé.
“We did it so he can get himself familiarised with the team. He’s a player with enormous potential, he’s become a star in one of the toughest Leagues in the world.
“Now he has to assert himself with Juventus, which is as it would be if he was playing in Argentina for River Plate or Boca Juniors.
“Paulo is a good lad, when the head is right it means there is more chance of good things happening naturally.”
Inter’s Mauro Icardi did not make the cut, but Martino hinted that he has been impressed by his demeanour on and off the pitch.
“Right now he’s doing very well. He’s young, and he’s just been handed the Inter captaincy. Lately he’s also been less present in the media…
“I’m continuing to follow him, but at the moment he’s not here.”
