Sports journalist Fabio Caressa has discussed the importance of Dusan Vlahovic to the current Juventus squad, insisting they would have a poorer campaign without him.
The striker joined the Bianconeri in the transfer market last January in search of more goals.
The Serb has remained one of their key players and their first-choice leader despite competition from Arkadiusz Milik.
Although the Bianconeri have both strikers in their group, they have struggled to score goals.
Vlahovic is not as lethal as he was at Fiorentina, but Caressa insists his performance would have been worse had he not been a member of this Juve.
He said via Tuttojuve:
“We talk about a Vlahovic in trouble, but this year he has already scored a lot of goals. If it hadn’t been for him, Juve’s situation would have been even more difficult.
“I think that Vlahovic has also had to adapt to the new reality and I think that he is overcoming the physical problems that he brought with his groin. sides, which are faster and drier. Before he only went vertically as a race. He is improving and if he improves he becomes even more decisive”.
Juve FC says
Vlahovic is one of the bright lights we have right now, and his goals have often saved us from embarrassing situations.
We want more from him and his team-mates, but he deserves praise for scoring despite having to eat scraps in many games.
