Dybala crowned Serie A’s top assist-man in first 3 matchdays since 2004/05 | OneFootball

Paulo Dybala will play against Torino this evening (6:30 PM).

No rest for the Argentine star, who, in the first four games of the season, is Gasperini’s second most used outfield player.

The only thing missing from the start is a goal. He’s made bursts, made runs, and scored decisive passes, but hasn’t scored yet.

Today, the number 21 could have the chance to break new ground, as happened last season at Torino, when the first glimpses of his partnership with Malen were seen.

Paulo Dybala has become a true assist man. The Argentine star has provided four decisive passes in the first three Serie A matchdays, a statistic that places him in a special category.

As Corriere dello Sport reports, since 2004-05, no player in the Italian league has provided more decisive passes for a teammate to score. Before him, Cassano (2009-10), Abate (2014-15), Insigne (2017-18), and Pellegrini (2019-20) have all provided four.

Dybala is much more than that; he has now become an undisputed leader for Gasperini’s Roma. Today will be the number 21’s fourth start. His assist foot is hot, but his shooting foot has yet to regain full power. In three matches, he has fired 15 shots without scoring.
