Dybala: “After the World Cup final I called Mourinho first and then my mother”

Jose Mourinho has developed close friendships with a number of players he has worked with throughout his long career, and fellow Roma player Paulo Dybala already falls into that category.

The Argentine international winger gave an interview to his compatriot Gaston Edul and spoke about his relationship with the special man and revealed a special scene that took place in the Albiceleste dressing room after winning the World Cup in Qatar.

“When the game against France ended, I was in the room to take the anti-doping test. I go to the dressing room, pick up the phone to talk to my family and see five missed calls from Mourinho.”

First I called him and then my mother. He was very happy with the result because he loves Argentines. He always tells me nice things about Messi and Di Maria, he loves them very much.”emphasized “Joya” and added:

“In the past I had to miss a Copa America due to injury. I had to change the way I worked so as not to suffer from injuries.”

It was a great pain for me not to be there for the final calls, but there was nothing I could do about it. It was difficult, but the doctors gave me minimal hope.

I concentrated on the World Cup, worked every day and then the big trophy came. Becoming world champion is something unique.
