The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 82: Paulo Dybala is not a happy man right now

Juventus lost a chance to win its first trophy of the 2021-22 season, but the last image of the week that was will be the man wearing the captain’s armband against Udinese not celebrating his goal and why things have gone bad. On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks, we discuss: Takeaways from the week that was, including Chuks admitting that he needs to get better at thinking about how players actually play during the course of a game and, you know, the whole Dybala happenings from over the weekend. The Paulo Dybala contract extension mess — how we got here, what the heck is going on now and can there really be some sort of solution after everything has (or hasn’t) happened over the course of the last couple of months since it looked like he was getting ready to sign his new deal and be done with this once and for all. A quick look back at the Supercoppa loss to Inter Milan midweek. (Don’t worry, we didn’t talk too, too much about Alex Sandro because things are already frustrating enough.) Twitter questions regarding the best lineup going forward this season knowing who’s injured and if there are any young Italian central defenders who Juventus could sign to potentially usher in the next era of things alongside Matthijs de Ligt. (No, not Daniele Rugani.) You can follow us on Twitter @JuventusNation or on Facebook. Get all of our match coverage and much more at our website, blackwhitereadallover.com.
