Ex-Juventus coach Capello: Dybala still has much to improve

Former Juventus coach Fabio Capello insists Paulo Dybala is some way from challenging the game's best players.

Capello wasn't surprised to see Dybala ignored for Argentina in their 1-1 draw with World Cup opponents Iceland.

He said, “Dybala is still a long way off Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He has to improve his consistency and the way he participates in the overall moves.

“He always waits for the ball to come to him, but that's because he plays in a strong team that lets him do anything he wants.

"Dybala could've given Argentina something different, especially from distance, and I would've used him against Iceland."
