That is why Dybala did not get a place in the Argentina squad
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni announced the team of 29 people. Argentina will have this squad in two friendly matches before the Copa America. After that, three people will be dismissed from there. Albiceleste will go to the Copa America with a team of 26 people. However, Paulo Dybala, a member of the World Cup winning team, is not in this squad.
World Cup winners Lisandro Martinez and Enzo Fernandez have also been included in Argentina's initial squad. Although both are currently suffering major injuries. However, Paulo Dybala is not much of an injury doubt. Even so, Albiceleste fans were somewhat surprised not to see him in the squad.
However, coach Scaloni has some very strong arguments behind the exclusion of Paulo Dybala. In recent times, he has to gain some momentum to get a place in his own team. In the last match in the league, he played 63 minutes against Genoa. But could not finish the match. Despite coach De Rossi's comments, Dybala was dropped for tactical reasons.
Formlessness is the main reason?
Dybala came to Roma last season after leaving his old address Juventus. He spent the best time of his career with the old ladies of Turin. But in the last three years, he himself saw a decline in his performance. He then came to Roma under Jose Mourinho.
The first season was not too bad for Roma and Dybala. However, this year the Italian capital club was not in their familiar rhythm. They cut off coach Mourinho in the middle. Another legend of Italy and Roma, Daniele De Rossi, became the new coach. Dibala's performance has also changed.
This forward has contributed to 26 goals in 38 matches this season. Scored 16 goals. Scored 10 goals. He scored 13 goals in 27 matches in the league and had 9 assists. There is 1 goal in every two matches. 1 goal in 2 matches in Copa Italia.
However, he was not seen very well in the Europa League. Scored 2 goals in 9 matches. Had 1 assist. However, no goals or assists have come from his feet since April 29. Although before that he was in great form throughout March and April.
multiple options
Paulo Dybala's lack of form in recent times could be a major reason for not making the team. As well as multiple options in the Argentina team. Dybala was also in the World Cup team. But there was no place. Coach Lionel Scaloni had more confidence in Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez.
A few others have joined it recently. Lautaro, who is out of form in the national team, has scored 24 goals in Syria. Alvarez also made himself known by getting a chance from the bench. Angel Correa or Nicolás González have not excelled in the club, but have met the coach's expectations in the national team in most cases.
In addition, Lionel Messi is there to create an attack on the right wing. The presence of a fully fit Messi will keep Argentina very independent in attack.
Strong midfield
Since Lionel Scaloni took charge of the team, Giovanni Lo Celso has been the lifeblood of the team. This midfielder had the best understanding with Messi. However, due to injury in the last World Cup, he did not catch the flight to Qatar. He is back after a long injury.
Although he got injured at the very end of the season. But that is not too serious either. He can return to the team at the beginning of the Copa America. The same goes for Enzo Fernandez. Although currently injured, this star can join the team very soon.
Besides, Alexis McAllister, Rodrigo de Paul will join the Argentina camp fully fit. Dybala's option as an attacking midfielder is also blocked for a strong midfield.
