Juan Cuadrado offers update on Paulo Dybala's state of mind | OneFootball

Juan Cuadrado has spoken out about his team-mate Paulo Dybala following the striker’s outburst at being substituted during Juventus’ Champions League clash this Tuesday.

Dybala is never happy to be taken off the pitch and that was made even more clear during Juve’s 1-1 Champions League draw with Sporting Lisbon earlier this week.

The Argentine forward was subbed in the 82nd minute, and according to various reports he threw his shin-pads in an attempt to show his frustration at Massimiliano Allegri.

Now, Dybala’s team-mate Cuadrado has reassured Juventus fans that Dybala is ‘very calm’ and ‘training really well’.

“I always see him as being very good,” Cuadrado insisted during an interview with Sky this Friday.

“I think sometimes people make things bigger than they are and blow them out of proportion. He’s very calm, he’s contented and he’s training really well.

“We know the player he is and what he gives us, even when he doesn’t score. He definitely makes different plays to allow others to score, he always gives us something more.

“We know he’s great, sometimes there are these moments and he just has to deal with them with great tranquility.

“He’s the same as ever. He’s always laughing and joking, he always trains well. There’s nothing, he knows what he needs to do.”

Cuadrado also reflected on Juventus’ current poor form.

“There are games which are different and we have to face them with the right attitude. There are moments in some games where we have to be more focused to do better.

“We always try to face every game with great humility and calmness and look to improve every day.”
