Argentina forward, Paulo Dybala has come out to say that he had five missed calls from Roma manager, Jose Mourinho after the country’s 2022 World Cup final victory. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he was about to call his family to celebrate with them when he saw the missed calls from Jose, and the Portuguese manager was very happy with the World Cup win because he loves Argentines.
Dybala added that Mourinho respects the fact that all the Argentinians who have played under him gave their absolute all.
His words, “When the final against France ended, I was in the traditional doping room, then I got to the locker room, I grabbed the phone to talk to my family and I had five missed calls from Mou. I think I called him first then my mother.
He was very happy because he loves Argentines. He always tells me wonderful things about Di Maria and Messi too, he loves them very much. All the Argentinians have given him something more in their teams and he speaks very highly of everyone. He has great affection for all Argentines.
I tried to convince him (Paredes) to come to Roma. When I spoke to him early in the summer he still didn’t know whether to return to Paris or play for another team. I spoke to Mourinho a couple of times because I knew he wanted to return to Rome. One day, out of nowhere, Mou come to me and asks: ‘Is Leandro willing to join us? I called him and told him to come. I missed speaking Spanish in the locker room, our families know each other. He really likes the city, like me. This is a city where people experience football like in Argentina.”
