Juventus Star Striker Paulo Dybala Warns: 'We Must Not Underestimate Napoli' in Return Leg

Published on: 28 February 2017

Juventus striker Paulo Dybala has warned his Juventus team mates that they must still be wary of a potential Napoli comeback in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final clash.


Speaking in the wake of a 3-1 win at home in the first leg, the Argentinian star has stressed that the two goal advantage may not be enough to seethe Turin giants and current Serie A leadersthrough to the final.

"The scoreline looks good now but we must not underestimate Napoli," Dybala told theclub's official website.


"They are sure to make it tough for us at their place in the return leg."


Juventus found themselves trailing 1-0 at half-time, but a strong performance after the break saw them emerge victorious in the end.

"It was a tricky game, especially in the opening 45 minutes," Dybala, who scored two of Juve's goals, added.


"We spoke together at half-time when we were a goal down then came back out and instantly put into practice what we had discussed in the dressing room".

"We changed attitude. We went out there with a different mindset and were more aggressive. Getting the first goal straight after the restart helped too".


The Old Lady were able to overturn the one goal deficit thanks to two second halfpenalties, which were converted by Dybala as well as a goal from Gonzalo Higuain.


The second leg is currently scheduled for April 4th.
