Paulo Dybala (153 Viewers)

Its weird comparison buts not even a true contest tho, because the expectations on both were vastly different. Dybala allways had the pressure of being the Del Piero of the team, the big star that carries the attack in scoring and creativity, was allways the case when healtby except for the brief time he spent with CR7.
And despite ending things lukewarm with injuries, was a key player for most of his tenure with 115 goals and plenty of chance creation. I think the way things ended have too many of you completely forgetting what a wonderful player he was initially. Defenitely better then Camo for me, and I was a big Camo fan.
Camoranesi was not as talented as Dybala, but its very true he played in tougher league ans got more out of his capabilities. Because besides being a baller he was a true grit warrior (mini Tevez in that regard).
But he was also like the 4-6th best player in the team most years (Ale, Trez, Pavel, Gigi and at rare times whoever the best defender was) and faced much less scrutiny and pressure due to it.
There's a difference to being the complimentary star that's lower in the hierarchy, to being a bigger star that's expext to carry the team.

There's zero question Camoranesi is a Juve legend. Whoever questioned that can't be serious.
I'm talking about pure player peak quality/ability, and in comparison to Dybala since someone compared them.
And I couldn't care less where someone is placed in some forum anyways. Dybala is a Juve icon and legend for me too. Without any doubt.
This is why players like Mandzukic and Cuadrado received far more love than Dybala ever did on Tuz, despite being demonstrably worse at football.
People prefer the cult hero personality over the very gifted player who didn’t quite reach the peak he was expected to, even if the peak he did reach was still far beyond what any cult hero could do.
It’s human nature to find the honest, hard working lad far more appealing than the talented one. This is also a very English mentality.

Looking back at things now, 4 years without a trophy and probably will take a few more years to win the league again, as someone said the 9 league title winning streak has been taken for granted.
In that respect, it just a bit feels harsh to put Dybala in rookie category whereas Mandzukic gets to be in the legends section.
I'm not even the biggest Dybala fan but he was a protagonist in at least 3 or even 4 of those league title victories.
If Allegro's 'legend' status is undeniable despite being hot garbage for the last three seasons, then there's a claim for Dybala who's won the same amount of league titles as him to be in the same conversation.

What I mean by off the bitch is not players' private life, but their football-related deeds, esp those that indicate their loyalty to the club or lack of. Camo stayed with the club in Serie B, it elevated him to the legend status, though on the pitch he's never the most talented one, nor the best one.
My bad, should have phrased better.
