Paulo Dybala (102 Viewers)

He isnt as strong as Martens, not that Martens is particularly strong but he can hold off a challenge, his reflexes are faster as well which allows him to recover more quickly and regain balance. He is what you would call wiry.
Dybalas first touch is deplorable, for a technical player this is pretty shocking. Martens might be less technical but his first touch is comfortably better, doesnt need few odd touches and consequently doesnt slow down the play. Out of all strikers we have, Dybala would be the worst choice for false nine. Imo

he doesnt have a good first touch at all.
He sometimes pull very tricky dribbles and lay offs in short spaces.. but people mistake this with good first touch.
The only things in which dybala is world class, is in finishing plays in a quick way with his left (turning and shooting for exmple, findinq quick ways to use his left near the enemy goal)
And his freekicks..
The rest is so so

A first touch to shoot on net and a first touch when you are between the lines with 3 defenders on you are two different things IMO. I feel Dybala's touch to set up a shot is much better than his touch in midfield.
When around the box, the threat of his shot helps him. But in midfield, the defenders know he poses no threat to run past, so they can jump at the ball without fear.

Correct. Thats exactly what i wanted to say.
Players with godlike first touch are del piero, zidane and messi for example. You can throw them a ball in any direction, and with their first touch they could not only receive the ball, but dribble the opponent at the same time, like changing directions and those sort of super technical stuff
