Paulo Dybala predicts Bayern Munich will “concede a bit of space” against Juventus in the Champions League.
The Bianconeri face the second leg of their Last 16 tie in Germany on Wednesday, and will probably have to win to progress, following a 2-2 draw in Turin.
“I think it’ll be the Juve you saw in the last 30 minutes of the first leg,” Dybala explained to Sky.
“We have to be aggressive and not leave gaps for their players, because they’re too good [to allow them space].
Paulo Dybala predicts Bayern Munich will “concede a bit of space” against Juventus in the Champions League.
The Bianconeri face the second leg of their Last 16 tie in Germany on Wednesday, and will probably have to win to progress, following a 2-2 draw in Turin.
“I think it’ll be the Juve you saw in the last 30 minutes of the first leg,” Dybala explained to Sky.
“We have to be aggressive and not leave gaps for their players, because they’re too good [to allow them space].
“So we have to try and play our game, as well as defending because logically they have a beautiful style. So it’ll be hard, but we have to take advantage of the chances we get.
“They’re a team which practically plays with four strikers, so they’ll concede a bit of space to us, and we’ll have to try and exploit those gaps when we have the ball.
“We’ll have to try and hit on the counter-attack and create more chances.”
Mario Mandzukic has come under scrutiny in recent weeks, as he’s yet to find the back of the net in 2016.
“Mario is a player who sacrifices a lot for the team, so he helps the team a lot when we’re defending.
“The Coach [Massimiliano] Allegri always asks us to stay close and help the team with our movement.
“It definitely helps that he takes away one or two men, and generally I’m in the centre. Then I have to be there and try to get the ball in behind the central midfielders so I can find more space.
“But we move as the Coach asks us to.”
