Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic shared his thoughts in a pre-match interview with DAZN (as quoted by Calciomercato) ahead of the Serie A clash against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. The Serbian forward, who is enjoying his second consecutive start under new coach Igor Tudor, reflected on his season and took the opportunity to comment on his former coach Thiago Motta.
A Message for Motta
When asked about his second consecutive start, a rarity since December, Vlahovic remarked, “In reality, I have always felt important. I didn’t play for a long time, but those were the coach’s decisions, which I always respected. I just tried to always be ready.”
The Role of Two Strikers
Vlahovic also discussed the tactical setup and the advantages of playing alongside another forward. “For a striker, it’s easier to have someone around him. These are decisions made by the coach, and I am here to do my best with whatever they ask of me.”
Reigniting Juventus’ Spirit
On the broader state of Juventus, Vlahovic emphasized the need for passion and determination. “I don’t know if it’s ‘my Juventus,’ but we’ll see. The important thing is to play well, win matches, and give everything on the field. We need to rediscover the fire that I believe we’ve lost. For now, we’re taking it one game at a time, and we hope—no, we must—do well until the end.”
