Juventus' Massimiliano Allegri Speaks on 'Clever Boy' Paulo Dybala

Massimiliano Allegri has said the "case is closed" with Paulo Dybala after the Juventus forward apologised for leaving the substitutes bench early during the Bianconeri's 3-3 draw at home to Parma in Serie A last week.

Dybala was dubbed a "clever boy" by his manager, per FourFourTwo: "He apologised, as it was right to do from a clever boy like him, to whom the club has given important responsibility—the number 10 jersey and the captain's armband when [Giorgio] Chiellini is not available."

Allegri's reminder to Dybala about his responsibilities is a timely one.
