(ANSA) – ROME, AUG 26 – AS Roma’s new Argentine signing Paulo Dybala is not a child and will be able to cope with the pressure of debuting against his former club Juventus at the Allianz Stadium in Turin Saturday night, Giallorossi coach José Mourinho said. Friday.
Mourinho said the 28-year-old Argentina and former Palermo attacking midfielder known as La Joya or The Jewel “has the face of a baby but isn’t one.
“He has a lot of experience, controlling his emotions is up to him.
“From how he has worked in these last few days I haven’t seen anything different.
“For me he’s very fit.
“I didn’t expect anything more at this time”.
Dybala signed for Roma after winning five league titles and four Italian Cups with Juve.
Between 2015 and 2022 he became the Old Lady’s joint ninth-highest scorer with 82 goals from 210 matches.
He has 34 Argentina caps since 2015, and three goals for his country.
Mourinho added: “Every match has the same eve and the same routine for me. Nothing changes. Playing a top side is great, but nothing special compared to usual. I’ve played in Turin many times, and tomorrow will be just one more time”.
Roma have made a perfect start to the Serie A season with two 1-0 wins while Juve have four points from their two games.
The Turin giants are joint second alongside reigning champs AC Milan behind free-scoring Napoli and last year’s runner-up Inter. (ANSA).
