Paulo Dybala

“I was asked to play for Italy, and I was very appreciative. I was 19, and I said, 'No, thank you.' It was very hard, but I am Argentinian, and it would have been deceit.”

“Messi, there is only one, as there was only one Maradona. You cannot replace players like them.”

“If you want to improve, you have to set high targets.”

“I'm a forward, and I dream of a goal in the World Cup, pushing it, kicking it from outside the box, wherever. I dream of scoring at a World Cup.”

“I do not throw myself down in the area, looking for a penalty, because I believe we should try to do things without being cursed and angry and without spitting on life.”

“I'd love to play with Messi.”

“I'm the kind of player who is never satisfied on the pitch. If I score twice, I'm already thinking about getting a third one.”

“I've always just wanted to succeed in everything that I do, and I know that Juventus is the perfect place to be if you want to win things.”

“In Turin, I can walk through the streets of the city without any problems.”

“God gives us a gift, but then that gift has to be worked.”

“In Italy, you must think faster than defenders. It is a tough school.”

“People should know that I am Dybala, and I want to continue to be so. I understand the comparisons and expectations on me from the Argentines, but I don't want to be the new Messi or the Messi of the future.”

“I love Italy. This is the country that made me famous, and I would love to stay in Serie A.”

“I learned how to defend the ball with my body and to be faster than my opponents.”

“I saw that Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more than 360 goals because he has a great right foot, but a left foot just as powerful.”

“I am more of a support striker.”

“There are some big teams out there who don't play in Champions League, but I can't deny that I'd love to play in Europe's most prestigious competition.”

“It is very difficult to score goals in Italy.”

“I exercise like crazy to have more sensitivity in my foot and more control.”

“It's really great that people are talking so much about me because it means that I'm doing things right.”
