Think he said 30-40, not 30. lol at FI sensationalizing.

And he's absolutely right.



Unarguably, not arguably. At 22, Del Piero came 4th in Ballon D'or. And he was viewed as that good too. At 22, he was a much bigger name than Dybala (Serie A being most viewed played a part too), who's seen as someone with that kind of potential. ADP was already the finished deal and at that time was better than Zidane, who hadn't reached his very best yet. ADP already had a few WC-level seasons while this was Dybala's first WC season. As well as Dybala has done, there's no comparison.

I'm surprised you don't even know much about Del Piero...given your nic and avatar.



Did you just say Messi < Ronaldinho?
True but to say DP was better than zidane at the time..idk was he bigger than Dybala yeah I'm pretty sure. There is only one DP no doubt but this kid is close, very close.

At 22-23 Del Piero was definitely as good and most likely better than Zidane. He was more important to us anyway. But it's a bit of un unfair comparison as in my opinion Zidane peaked from 1998 to 2002, so his peak started a year of two after that.

Most world class players make the jump somewhere between 18-22, with the vast majority getting quite a bit better towards 22. Scoring 20 goals in 42 games is a very decent statistic for a 22 year old forward at Juventus though. I see him score 30 next season.

20 in his first season is not bad at all. he is playing as an SS, and 20 goals for an SS is fabulous.

We need to remember that just a couple years ago, our "main bombers" were not able to surpass the 11-12 goals per season.

The Bianconeri had a poor start to the season, but have since won 25 out of 26 League games, and GQ asked the Argentinian forward to describe the season as a film.

“I really like Gladiator,” Dybala replied.

“Like us, Maximus Decimus Meridius didn’t start well, then his wife and son were killed. But with his inner strength he was able to kill Commodus.

“It was what he wanted, just as we wanted to win the Scudetto at all costs.”

Dybala was then asked for his best Juventus goal.

“The one against Sassuolo, because the ball went exactly where I wanted it. When you can do exactly what you picture in your head, you’re happy.

“The best of my career? It’s hard to pick one, the first one that comes to mind is the one from Palermo-Genoa last year.

“It was very similar to the goal against Sassuolo, I cut in on my left foot and tried to place it in the corner, a technical move I like a lot.

“Dab dancing with Paul Pogba? It’s Paul’s thing, I just follow him. He’s very cheerful, always dancing and singing.

“One day he jokingly said 'the first time we both score in a game, let’s celebrate like that’ and then it happened.”

Exactly, DP was more important to us.. its
kind of how it is like with him and Pogba, or rather how it could be like that in the future where we have to decide which is more important, it will take another season or two to really tell.

DP spoiled us bad, Shot power like hadgi, free kick best in football history, control the tempo of a game at pirlo level, finish like messi, better weak foot than almost every top player today, xavi like pass quality, top 5 ever one touch shooting ability, arguably top 5 ever most accurate shot in football running or not..that + assists. I really wish Dybala would have mplayed 2-3 seasons and learned alot from DP..oh well we had Mitra matri back then..what shitty days, Quags was our top man. God bless Marotta he has been taking good advice from Moggi it looks like

Actually, its far more impressive then you two make it sound, when you consider the following.

1) Juventus was absolutely garbage for the first 10 games. he didnt really had decent support.
2) When we started trashing ahead, he has been out injured twice.


Both factors have reduced his goalscoring output by a considerably amount

You are going a bit wild there :D

And you shouldn't refer to the Matri-Vucinic-Quags days as shit days. Sure they are not half as talented as DP or Dybala but they really gave 110% for the team. I have nothing but love for them.

He carried the team at the start of the season when Pogba and co were still headless chickens. and he was still good at the closing stages of the season.

That is offcourse true, but its much easyer to score goals when surrounded by players that back you, instead of needing you to carry them.

Example : No Marchisio, and Pogba was dogshit bad. Now look how Pogba later went on a crazy assisting spree. Imagine THAT pogba with DYbala from the start. Dybala would have scored more evidently.

Dybala is still good, just been out with small injury and rested long as precaution. Those games, he didnt play while the team was crushing, aka he could easely have added goals if he was fit.


These two facts mean that dybala could have scored alot more then 20. He is that good. Now imagine a full season with a good pogba.

He's done amazingly well for his first season with us. The sky is the limit now.
