Dybala reveals his idols growing up and stresses the pleasure of playing with Ronaldo

Juventus star Paulo Dybala responded to the messages and letters of many small Juventus fans for Tuttosport.

"My idol? I liked Riquelme so much but I've never seen him play live. I also admired Ronaldinho. Other sports that I played? Tennis and basketball but only for a short time. After that, I always played football," he said.

"I was really young when I started playing football, I started going to a football school at the age of 4-5 years old. When I think of myself as a little boy, I always remember having the ball at my feet.

"I wanted to play football, that was always my dream and goal. I made a lot of sacrifices but I made it when I debuted in the first team at 17 for ​Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba.

"Juventus? It is a really important team which has always had great champions. Being part of this team is a huge satisfaction, as is playing with so many champions.

"Ronaldo? He is a champion and it is always a pleasure to play with this type of players. Cristiano makes things that are really difficult seem easy. Free kicks? A lot of training, determination and desire to never give up. To try and try again, that is the secret," Dybala concluded.
