“I spoke to him when he came to Torino to tell me that I would be called up to the World Cup but from the day I got to the training camp until the last day, we didn’t talk. We wnent home without even greeting each other.”
DYBALA also mentioned that his comments about it being difficult to play alongside Lionel MESSI may have had something to do with it.
“I didn’t think about asking him about why he didn’t do it. Things started to go bad and for him, the situation wasn’t easy. I don’t know if something happened because of what I said before the World Cup, I thought it had changed since I was called-up but it wasn’t the case.”

“He went out there for us. He’s an example, he put the team on his shoulders.
“Everyone backed him. We are with him. like everyone. He is the captain. We saw what happened. Very strange things happened.”
