Juventus coach Allegri: Dybala needs to calm down

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri admits he wants Paulo Dybala to settle.

Dybala missed a last minute penalty in that loss to Lazio.

“I spoke to him yesterday, he has to reach a balance," Allegri said.

“After the first few games he was being compared to Messi, now because of the penalties he isn't anymore.

“He's young and extraordinary, these things will strengthen him and allow him to find a balance. It's not like he should be exalted if he scores a hat-trick against Sassuolo, or beat himself up if he misses two penalties in a row.

“It's the same as [Federico] Bernardeschi, who is inserting himself. Playing for Fiorentina, with all due respect, is a different thing from playing here.

“Will Dybala take the penalties? Always him. That absolutely will not change."
