Former Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic has warned Dusan Vlahovic that it is not easy being a Juventus striker.
The Serb joined the Bianconeri in January looking for an attacker who will lead the line for them now and in the future.
Vlahovic has done well so far, but he hasn’t been as lethal as he was when he played for Fiorentina before moving to Juve.
The Serbian can still improve and Pjanic warns him that there are high expectations for being the goalscorer for the Bianconeri.
He said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“When you play to win the championship or the quarterfinals, the semifinals or the Champions League final, being a Juventus striker is something else: you have to know how to manage difficulties and find a certain balance.
“At 22 it is not easy. Vlahovic has to work, stay calm and learn to live with the pressure of the big clubs. And also with criticism. Dusan’s qualities are not in dispute and he seems very determined and demanding of himself: he has everything to become a top-level striker”.
Juve FC says
Vlahovic is still 22 years old and hasn’t done badly since moving to the Allianz Stadium.
The Serb will certainly do better and we need to make sure we don’t put him under too much pressure.
We will get good performances from him now and in the future, because he has the ability, we just need to build the team around him and play to his strengths and always make the goals come.
