Süleyman Öztürk is impressed by Paulo Dybala. The journalist says this in the video item 'Team of the Week' Football International. The thirty-year-old Argentinian has been of great value to his club AS Roma this season, and this has not gone unnoticed by Öztürk.

Last weekend Roma won 1-4 against Monza, and Dybala had a big part in that, with a goal and an assist. In total, the attacker has scored 13 goals and 7 assists in 26 official matches this season.

“He really is a diamond,” Öztürk begins his praise. “Only they are fragile, and you should not drop or lose them. Intrinsically he is the best player in Serie A. Only he was unlucky at Juventus when Ronaldo joined, and he faded into the background a bit. “He is just not Argentinian enough to claim his place, although he has tried to do so.”

“But he is a wonderful player,” the journalist continues. “If you like football, you turn on the television and watch Paulo Dybala. And then you see, for example, a beautiful free kick going in, or a great through ball or a great take.”

Öztürk then also mentions the meeting with Feyenoord in the interim round of the Europa League. Roma won on penalties against the Rotterdam team. Dybala didn't score, but he made an impression.

Öztürk: “Anyone who has seen Feyenoord – AS Roma or who has been in De Kuip may have seen that he can play football. I think some Feyenoorders still wake up screaming, because he of course also scored a goal once. .” By this he is probably referring to last season, when Dybala scored against Feyenoord in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

“A ten-year-old Feyenoord supporter who actually wants to see his club win a prize, who thinks: gosh Mina, what an annoying footballer Paulo Dybala is. But of course he can play football well,” Öztürk concludes.
