Hello, Desimpedidos.
I'm speaking Spanish because I'm in Argentina...
It's an important day for the football of Argentina.
It's a final between River y Boca, which they call the Superclásico.
We don't know the result yet, we're recording it days before.
What matters is that we're at Argentina's TG
to have a chat with Dybala.
We'll interview the Juventus and Argentine National Team player.
Let's go!
Look who's waiting for us.
Desimpedidos is important, right?
Look, that's him. Dybala.
- Nice to meet you. - How are you?
- How do you do? - Fine, yourself?
I'm great. Can I speak in Portuguese?
My Spanish is terrible.
- Fifty-fifty. - Fifty-fifty?
- Thanks. - I understand it, but I can't speak it.
First of all, thanks for having us.
My first question is:
Today is a memorable day for Argentinian football.
River and Boca at a Libertadores final.
We're recording days before, so we don't know the champion yet.
What do you think of this moment for Argentinian football?
It's an important date for Argentinian football.
This has never happened before.
I think Argentinians should be very proud...
For having two clubs at the final of such an important cup.
I'm always hoping that the best wins.
I have no favorites.
You don't support either?
Would you like to play in one of them?
They're important clubs in Argentinian football.
Every children dreams of playing for Boca or River,
because they're two great clubs, but I don't prefer either of them.
You left Argentina very early.
You played one year in Argentina and then went overseas.
I played for a year for Instituto de Córdoba.
At the B Series. Then I left for Italy.
I've been there for seven years.
You're almost Italian.
They invited you to defend Italy, but you refused.
Yes, in my second or third year. At the time of Antonio Conte.
But I've always felt Argentinian.
I also had a Polish grandfather and I could get Polish citizenship.
But I always wanted to play for Argentina,
despite never been invited.
It was my dream, and here I am today.
You played a World Cup for Argentina.
Is it different to play at a World Cup?
I've never played a Copa América.
I've never had the chance, and ended up at the World Cup.
For a few minutes, but enough to have the feeling...
all children dream about, especially in Latin America.
Argentina and Brazil are passionate about football.
Entering the stadium with your compatriots rooting for you,
in Russia, a country so far away...
Playing the World Cup was beautiful, and of course...
I'll never forget it.
I hope I can have that feeling again.
The next competition is Copa América, in Brazil.
Do you believe you'll have more chances and time to play?
I can't say.
Our National Team has many important players,
especially in my position, so sometimes...
The competition is important and we must be prepared...
to do our best. Training well, doing well in Juventus, my club.
I hope I can go, because...
playing Copa América next year in Brazil is a goal.
We all always want to be on the field.
But I have to work for that, I'm not quite there yet.
In the two last Copas Américas, you ended as runners-up.
Do you see it as an encouragement or as some pressure?
Do you feel you must win?
As I said, football is very important for us.
It's almost like a lifestyle.
So I can't say if I'd call it pressure.
It's an important goal.
Some of my teammates played both finals,
but they couldn't win it.
But I hope we win the next one in Brazil.
Thanks, but I hope you don't!
I have another question.
Copa América will be played in different stadia.
Do you know them?
Do you know which clubs play in them?
No, my teammates are always joking.
Alex prefers one of them, Douglas prefers Grêmio's.
But I don't have a favorite.
I'd like to know them, because I've never been to Brazil.
It's all new to me.
So I'll show them to you, ok?
Try to guess which club plays in each stadium.
Do you know this one?
Mineirão.
Cruzeiro plays here. Do you follow Brazilian football?
Yes, I do.
Our championships?
Yes.
How about this one?
São Paulo?
No, Maracanã.
Flamengo and Fluminense play in this stadium.
How about this one?
Palmeiras?
That's right.
And this one?
Grêmio?
You know all of them. This one?
Morumbi?
You know everything about Brazilian football!
Last question before going to the pitch.
That's where you feel more comfortable, with the ball.
This is your special celebration.
Which is more beautiful, yours or Dele Alli's?
Mine!
It's more original!
- But it's easier! - It is.
Do you have a new one for Copa América?
- No, this is the one. - Forever.
- Let's go to the pitch? - So people remember me.
Right. Let's go.
Let's go to the pitch!
Now we're at an environment Dybala is used to.
The pitch, the best environment.
We've seen your videos. You're very close to Douglas Costa.
Yes, we have a very good relationship.
Since he arrived, we're always together.
After practice, you always have a challenge, right?
Yes, we're always challenging and daring each other.
Both in and out of the pitch.
Sometimes playing PlayStation.
Everything's a bet?
Everything.
And you never lose, right?
I have lost, but I usually win.
There's evidence in the Internet.
Douglas Costa is in debt. He's losing too much.
Do you prefer to kick from outside or from inside the penalty area?
What do you prefer as a player?
It depends. The odds are higher from inside, due to the distance.
But from outside, the goals are more beautiful.
They have a special feeling.
But I personally have no preference.
- A goal's a goal. - They're all worth one point.
How many are you going to score in Copa América?
I don't know, Copa América isn't easy.
I've never played any, so it's all new to me.
I hope many of them.
What if Brazil faces Argentina?
Brazilians will be upset with me.
Of course I'll defend my country, so I hope Argentina wins.
What final would you like to see in Copa América?
Argentina vs Brazil would be great.
1-0 to us.
That's not negotiable.
I'm kidding.
I brought you something. Give me the candy.
These are called "balas" in Brazil.
No, this is Argentinian.
Yes, but in Brazil we call them "balas".
In Brazil, candies are "balas".
We call them "balas" in Brazil.
We have other expressions using "bala".
Try to guess what they mean.
"Manda bala."
To send, to throw.
To send.
As in "do it"!
Good, that's right.
"Bala ao alvo."
I've no idea.
"Alvo" means "target".
So hit the target.
That's right.
Until Copa América, you can learn other expressions using "bala".
I'll have time to study.
That's right.
We have another host at the channel called Fred.
He holds challenges with Brazilian and foreign players.
He sent you a video.
It's not a challenge, it's a request. Can I show you?
Yes, of course.
Dybala, how are you, my friend?
Sorry, I'll speak Portuguese because my Spanish is terrible.
Dybala, you always score from outside the penalty area.
You're a quality shooter.
I'd like to take the opportunity, since Ale is with you.
Too bad I couldn't be there to see it from up close.
Show us how to do quality upper V shots.
Thanks. Goodbye.
You must hit the upper V.
He didn't come because he was afraid to lose.
He's afraid to lose to you? Maybe.
There's a challenge for you.
Maybe one day you'll teach him some quality shooting.
How about quality shooting, then?
Let's go.
These were Dybala's quality shots.
You said you once broke a camera in Italy.
Yes, while recording an ad.
They had a large camera.
I had to hit the glass, but wasn't hitting it.
In my last attempt, I hit it and the camera exploded.
No problem, Adidas will pay for everything.
Well, this was our show with Dybala.
I'd like to thank Adidas for bringing us to meet Dybala...
in the pitch and at the futsal court.
Thanks for your time.
Good luck in Copa América, I hope we don't face each other.
All right?
We'll see.
Regards to everyone in Brazil.
Thank you for all the kind messages in social media.
Send regards to Douglas Costa, call him a loser.
He'll be upset.
Thanks, goodbye!
