Paulo Dybala warned Juventus “can’t suffer like this to the final whistle” after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Udinese.
Jakub Jankto had given the visitors a shock lead, but Dybala curled in a free kick and converted a penalty to turn it around.
“It is only October and it’s nice to have a five-point lead, but there are many head-to-head games to go,” La Joya told Sky Sport Italia and Mediaset Premium.
Paulo Dybala warned Juventus “can’t suffer like this to the final whistle” after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Udinese.
Jakub Jankto had given the visitors a shock lead, but Dybala curled in a free kick and converted a penalty to turn it around.
“It is only October and it’s nice to have a five-point lead, but there are many head-to-head games to go,” La Joya told Sky Sport Italia and Mediaset Premium.
“We have got to improve, as we can’t suffer like this to the final whistle, especially not on our own turf. We’ve got to keep the ball better and not allow the opposition to get so close to our goal.
“Udinese put in a very good performance, have strong strikers and it’s not easy to play against a side like this.
“I study Riquelme’s free kicks, but of course I try to learn from so many. I’d like it if people started calling it a Dybala-style free kick!”
After his goal, Dybala ran to the touchline to hug Leonardo Bonucci, who confirmed that his infant son Matteo is recovering after a serious health problem.
“I have a wonderful rapport with Leo, we all know what happened and I promised before the game that if I scored, I’d run over to hug him. He’s got a heart of gold.”
