Former Juventus star Darko Kovacevic has commented on his recent struggles to get the best of Dusan Vlahovic.
The Serbian remains one of the best strikers in the world and has been a key player for Juve.
However, he has yet to be as prolific as he has been at Fiorentina since moving to Juve.
He is often a lone figure in the Bianconeri’s games this season and that is a key reason why they cannot buy a win.
However, when he goes to the Serbian national team, he is a different player.
In the last international window, he shone for his nation and became more involved in his overall game.
Juve fans wonder why he can’t be as good when he wears his shirt.
Kovacevic believes it is only a matter of time before he returns well, and says the striker will benefit more when Federico Chiesa returns to the team from injury.
He said through Il Bianconero:
“It is undeniable that Juve was not properly served, but soon there will be more quality players to help him. I think of Chiesa, which gives speed to attacks. And he will be more serene.
“Let’s not forget that the pressure on Juve is exceptional. I remember that in my first year we lost to Lecce. Moggi, Bettega and Giraudo called up the whole team: it was just one game, but for Juve it was not acceptable”.
Juve FC says
Chiesa is an impressive player who will improve our entire game. However, we shouldn’t rely on just one player to improve.
Everyone on the team has to perform so well that the team doesn’t miss any individual who isn’t available to play.
