Paulo DYBALA revealed that Argentina coach Jorge SAMPAOLI didn’t talk to him during the World Cup.

The Argentina national team striker spoke that the coach didn’t talk to him during the tournament in Russia. Despite being part of the squad for the 2018 World Cup, DYBALA only played a handful of minutes when he featured against Croatia.

Now, over a year later, DYBALA has admitted that SAMPAOLI didn’t talk to him. Speaking with Fox Radio, here’s what he had to say:

“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.”

Paulo DYBALA spoke with Ole in Argentina where he discussed playing alongside Lionel MESSI and Sergio AGUERO while also the team’s Copa America.

Despite not having too much playing time at the Copa America, Paulo DYBALA did well with the minutes he was given while on the pitch. There had been talks in the past that he can’t play with Lionel MESSI and DYBALA quickly squashed those comments. Here’s what he had to say:

“I think I showed that I could play with MESSI. It’s a question of getting to know each other better, finding the harmony, of seeing where and how each one of us moves and being more comfortable with each other and making the other feel comfortable. There was good play between us. Against Chile, it was me with Leo and also with Kun.

“Before the match, we spoke about the movements, that if one stays up front, the other has to stay back and get the ball. We did things well, it left me happy. I always try to give my best, when I play and when I don’t.

As for the team and the referees:

“We started badly and we had to regroup and after that we deserved more than third place. But due to things which can be seen, we stayed in third place. If things were done for a team to win or not, I don’t know if we’ll find that out. But the doubt is there and it’s ugly.”
