According to Gazzetta, Massimiliano Allegri`s mentor, Giovanni Galeone, criticized Dusan Vlahovic`s ball control. Thiago Motta, Juventus`s recently appointed coach, previously benched Vlahovic, deeming him not associative enough – a key trait for a modern forward. While Vlahovic isn`t a typical playmaking number 9, he is a natural goalscorer with a strong desire to prove his critics wrong.
With the arrival of Igor Tudor, a fellow Slav from Croatia, as part of the Juventus coaching staff, Vlahovic, who is Serbian, should find better understanding and support. It is believed that in these upcoming 9 games, Vlahovic has the opportunity to silence his critics by doing what he does best: scoring goals.
