Stramaccioni: Dybala still 'more influential' than Nico Paz ahead of Como vs. Roma
Former Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni weighed in on the comparison between Roma's Paulo Dybala and Como's young Argentine talent Nico Paz, giving the edge to the experienced Roma forward. The comments come ahead of the Serie A fixture between Como and Roma, where both players are expected to feature prominently. Stramaccioni acknowledged Paz's quality and growing importance at Como but emphasized Dybala's proven match-winning pedigree at the top level. The fixture carries weight for both clubs as Roma push for European places and Como continue their impressive campaign.
Read the full story at football-italia.netComparisons between an established star and a rising talent are a staple of Italian football discourse, and the Dybala–Nico Paz debate captures a wider question about how much weight should be placed on ceiling versus track record. Stramaccioni's verdict is unsurprising but telling: in a Roma side that has often leaned on Dybala's creativity to unlock tight matches, his influence remains structural rather than incidental. For Como, Paz represents the future they are building around, and even flattering comparisons at this stage underline how quickly the Argentine has adapted to Serie A. The fixture itself is a barometer for both trajectories — Roma measuring where they stand in the European hunt, Como testing themselves against a side with top-six ambitions.
