Sissoko: Dybala needs to listen to Juventus leaders

Former Juventus midfielder Mohamed Sissoko says too much is expected of Paulo Dybala.

Sissoko insists comparisons with Alessandro del Piero are useless.

He said, “Dybala, in my opinion, doesn't have the character of Del Piero yet, even if he's very young.

“If he listens to all the advice of those around him, like [Pavel] Nedved and [Gigi] Buffon he can become better than he already is.

“I'm not his agent, but he's playing for one of the best teams in the world and he'd to well to stay at Juventus for another two or three years."

Gigi Buffon is expected to retire at the end of the season, and Sissoko was asked about the legendary goalkeeper.

“Buffon has been the Juventus goalkeeper since the days of Lilian Thuram, so it was still very surprising to see consecutive games where he wasn't between the posts.

“[Wojciech] Szczesny is doing very well though and I wish him well. The important thing is for Juve to keep winning."
