There is less pressure on Dybala with the national team.

The Juventus talisman is one of most highly rated forwards in the world and he has a deadly eye for goal with his left foot. He is also known by the nickname of 'La Roya' which means the jewel.

His playing style is similar to his Argentinian compatriot Lionel Messi and if Argentina manage to link up these two they will be unstoppable.

Though Messi will be the key for Argentina and opponents will focus more on him, and Dybala could use this as a distraction. With defenders getting more and more on Messi they are likely to leaves spaces behind them and Dybala could just use that space and his link up game with Higuain is also very good as both play for Juventus.

Also, there is less pressure on him compared to his other teammates likes Aguero, Higuain

Messi and DI Maria and this could just be beneficial for him to get the best out of him for Argentina.
