Andrea Pirlo urges Paulo Dybala to train with Cristiano Ronaldo’s desire

Juventus legend Andrea Pirlo has urged Paulo Dybala to train with the same desire as Cristiano Ronaldo in order to secure a regular starting role with the Bianconeri. The Argentina international has witnessed a tough introduction to the new Serie A season and he has managed just 100 minutes of action from the first three matches.

As such, there has been plenty of speculation regarding the Argentine’s future in Turin but Pirlo has advised the Bianconero to impress the manager with the intensity in training, he said: “Accepting that you’re not a starter at this stage of the season isn’t easy for anyone. Paulo will do everything to play as much as possible: if he trains with Ronaldo’s desire then it will be difficult to leave him out. When you don’t play, it means you have to do even more. You must do your bit: Dybala’s qualities aren’t in question. To become a crucial player for Juventus, he must find something from inside. First and foremost, he must do it for himself.”
