Juventus vice-president Pavel Nedved has ordered Paulo Dybala to sort out his private life and focus on his football after the forward’s form dipped.
“He’s 24 and it’s normal that he has ups and downs, and obviously he’s a player who could get to the very top,” Nedved saod. “I’d advise him to focus on his football and make lots of sacrifices in his private life and train to the maximum.
“Allegri treats everybody equally and he’s always done that at Juve, so he’s not been particularly hard on Paulo. He treated Higuain and Mandzukic the same way because he always wants the best from all of his players, and he does right.”
Nedved will hope Dybala do what he says and gets back to his best in time for February, when Juve will face Tottenham for a place in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
“We lost to them in a friendly in the summer, but that doesn’t count much,” Nedved said. “Tottenham are very solid and they have a great coach and great potential in attack, while they’ve got a forward we know well in Fernando Llorente.
“We’ve just got to focus on ourselves, though, and I think we’ve got a good chance of going through.”
