Paulo Dybala is ‘enjoying the duel with Napoli and Gonzalo Higuain’, but doesn't believe it’s a two-horse race for the Scudetto.
The Juventus striker’s compatriot leads the Serie A scoring charts with an impressive 21 goals in 21 games this season for the Partenopei.
Dybala spoke of his admiration for Higuain, but warns that with 17 matches to play there is still everything to play for.
Paulo Dybala is ‘enjoying the duel with Napoli and Gonzalo Higuain’, but doesn't believe it’s a two-horse race for the Scudetto.
The Juventus striker’s compatriot leads the Serie A scoring charts with an impressive 21 goals in 21 games this season for the Partenopei.
Dybala spoke of his admiration for Higuain, but warns that with 17 matches to play there is still everything to play for.
“The duel with Napoli and Higuain? I enjoy it because Gonzalo is an Argentine forward like me,” Dybala said to Corriere dello Sport.
“I admired him when I went to the national team, I’m aware of what he can do and of what he is doing.
“He’s very strong, he showed that at Real Madrid as well by winning many trophies and he’s showing it now at Napoli. I’m happy that he’s scoring, hopefully he doesn’t do it against us…
“Are we friends? Yes, we spoke a little on Saturday evening, I wished him the best but told him that when they come here….
“Do I envy some of Higuain’s qualities? Maybe his right foot….he turns and shoots, this would be something to learn from him.
“Two-horse Scudetto race? No, I think both Inter and Fiorentina are still in the running. There are 17 matches left to play.
“This defeat will be hard for Roma, but I think they’re a strong team and never say never.”
