On the eve of Argentina's match against Iceland, coach Jorge Sampaoli has received a question about considering using Paulo Dybala next to Lionel Messi. "We are working hard to get them together, and based on this view, the coordination between Dybala and Messi has improved," he said. I need more time to see if the two are ready to stand together or not. "

Now, what about now? In the context of the opportunity to go forward of Argentina are in the balance hanging thousands of hair, when forced to win Nigeria and look at the results of the same time match between Iceland and Croatia. Despite problems in Argentina, Dybala was just 22 minutes from the bench in the defeat to Croatia. So, there are fans from Argentina's hometowns calling for dybala to kick the main battle with Nigeria.

However, this possibility is unlikely. Di Maria will return to the left, Gonzalo Higuian is dominating Sergio Aguero and right wing, of course Lionel Messi. Synonyms, not place themselves for Dybala in the main team, the situation has long been, not until now to be discovered.

Despite being 24 years old and considered one of the top attacking stars in Europe, Dybala has only seven appearances in the Albiceleste, six of them from the bench. Preparatory. As a result, he has not had any goals and only made 1 tectonic phase. This achievement is modest compared to what he has in the shirt Juventus. Since joining the Old Lady for € 32 million in 2015, Dybala has had 52 goals in 98 appearances.

Also, when Juventus danced to Barcelona 3-0 in Turin in the quarter-finals of the Champions League 2016/17, many agreed that Dybala was the best heir to Messi. However, from that point of view this birth two problems. Dybala can inherit Messi not reach the level of Messi and probably never reach that stature. Second, Dybala trampled on Messi.

Dybala admitted: "It is not easy to play with Messi because we play the same style." There are criticism Messi burying his junior. But let's listen to Messi: "I talked to Dybala, and at Juventus, he played in the same position as me, he had to move to the left more often and maybe he was not used. It is difficult to move to the left. I rarely move to that area. "

"The right side, we can go through the middle and the goal in front of us, the truth is that I understand all the problems he encountered in the team, so there is no need to mess tossing everything up, "the superstar wearing Barcelona interpretation. In fact, Sampaoli tried to integrate Dybala and Messi in the first time leading Argentina. He uses the 3-4-2-1 scheme and these two players play in parallel.

The result was quite positive as Argentina beat Brazil 1-0. However, two successive draws against Uruguay and Venezuela led to Sampaoli taking on the option, and since then Messi and Dybala are no longer in the squad Argentina. Even before the 2018 World Cup, Dybala's ability to convene is open to Sampaoli's statement: "It will be difficult for Dybala to get used to the game of the team at this time."

Although Sampaoli eventually brought Dybala to Russia, it is clear that the striker is not a viable option for the squad. However, there is a sad reality that in the 13 games that Argentina has gone through, Sampaoli has never kept up with the formation. This proves that the strategist is puzzled and there are signs ... disorder tactics. Dybala was the victim of the crisis.

In fact, Dybala is ready to stand with Messi and never thought of competing with his senior. "Messi is irreplaceable, in Barca or any other team in the world, so I think we should and can stand together. Just find out, I will be compatible with Messi and team ". However, it seems too late to open such an opportunity.
