Juventus star Paulo Dybala has revealed that he once told club teammate and football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo how much they disliked him in Argentina because of the way he walks and his overall demeanour. "Once we were travelling, I was sitting next to him and I said to him that in Argentina we hated him a bit because of his figure, because of how he walks," Dybala was quoted as saying by besoccer.com. "He laughed and told me he was used to being criticised for those things, but that he is how he is," the Argentine added while laughing as he spoke to Argentine journalist Juan Pablo Varsky.

"As a person he's an excellent guy, very friendly on and off the field, he is always willing to speak and listen as well, something which surprised me because sometimes, when they are such important players, they are not like that," Dybala said of Ronaldo. Dybala had tested positive for coronavirus. He became the third player from Juventus that has been diagnosed with the infection that has ravaged Italy.
