Paulo Dybala, who returned to the pitch against Bologna after a long absence, gave an interview to Argentine television host Pollo Alvarez.

“La Joya” spoke about the World Cup and a possible return to Boca Juniors.

“We all want to play for the Argentina national team, but obviously it won’t be easy. I think I need to find my rhythm again, finding consistent minutes at my club. My goal is to be able to play at the World Cup, but first I have to feel good with my club.”

Have you spoken to Scaloni and the coaching staff? “I wasn’t called up due to my injuries, too. You can’t afford that in a strong national team like Argentina. I never thought of calling Scaloni to ask him the reason for my absence. On the contrary, I think I have to show him that I’m fit at my club, that I’m up to what he wants. He makes the decisions about who the best players are to take to the World Cup.”

Every time Paredes speaks… do you get all the Boca rumors? “He’s not cooperating, huh! I get messages from him, from his wife, who has a great relationship with Oriana. We’ve been in touch all the time since he left, which was sad for us because we have a great family relationship. Two days ago, a photo of me in a Boca jersey came out; they sent it to our group, asking if it was artificial intelligence. We had a good laugh about it. We miss them a lot, but you never know what happens in football.”

Would you like to play for Boca? “Today I play for Roma and I defend this jersey; you never know what can happen. Of course, I’d like to spend more time with Leandro and his family; we’ll see.”
