Former Italy striker Luca Toni has instructed Federico Chiesa and Angel di Maria to provide the ball for Dusan Vlahovic to score, just as Franck Ribery did for him at Bayern Munich.
Di Maria and Chiesa are the main attackers who can play behind Vlahovic at Juventus.
The striker is dangerous in the air and on his feet, but fans expected more from him when he moved to Juventus from Fiorentina a year ago.
Chiesa missed the first ten months of last year and Di Maria only joined the club in the summer.
All three players have struggled with fitness this season, so they haven’t played together long enough to form chemistry on the pitch.
However, Toni expects that to happen and believes that he will flourish like when he was at Bayern. The former striker said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“Chiesa and Di María could become for Vlahovic a bit what Ribéry was for me at Bayern.
“Chiesa has already proven to be a top player.
“I think about the Champions League performances and the European Championship triumph with Italy, while Vlahovic only sometimes. Someone like Faith, capable of snatching, jumping man and creating numerical superiority, can become the fortune of the Serbian, who, like all center forwards, needs to be served in the area. And let’s not forget about Maria.
Juve FC says
These players are quality footballers and we are lucky to have them on our team now.
However, it’s been sad that they couldn’t play together long enough and we don’t know how their partnership will work out.
Hopefully they’ll stay in shape for this second half of the term and we’ll have a good year together.
