This was a tough year for Dybala. Last year he was our best player with 26 goals and 6 assists. With arrival of Ronaldo the team was not focused on playing around him, team is playing for Ronaldo. Ronaldo takes penalties, we have less free kicks on his zone because we are playing completely different formation. We played 4-2-3-1
Caudrado-Dybala-Mandzukic
Higuain
With some rotation but almost always Dybala was starting. Arrival of Ronaldo, different game plan, less penalties, less freekicks, lack of confidence, obviously he is not performing as he knows how to. But he is no trash player as some members make him. He is excellent player, remember his goal vs Lazio or his two goals vs Barcelona.
We play very boring and static football. We play strikers who can defend (mandzukic) and offer nothing in attack. We play midfielders who are good at defending rather than pressing/passing/dribbling opponents. Dybala in this Juve cannot function.
Juve should go back to 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 without Can, Matuidi, Khedira ane Bentancur. Can someone tell me what does Can, Bentancur, Khedira and Matuidi offer to our game more than Cuadrado? Nothing, they cant shoot, they cant dribble, they cant cross, and they dont make forward passes.
They all talk about how Dybala is not performing. It’s not like Ronaldo is doing great. The man used to score 50 goals. And he is scoring half, it’s not his fault, it’s juve’s game plan.
