Vlahovic's spring in **?
As the season progressed, more and more Juventus fans began to express concerns about Vlahovic's form.
As an excellent representative of the post-00 center forward, since joining Juventus, Vlahovic has not handed over consistent goal statistics, always starting with a three-board axe, and then falling into a long-term goal drought, and has never been able to become an efficient goalscorer like Haaland and Osimhen.
At the beginning of this season, Vlahovic scored four goals in one go against Udinese, Bologna and Lazio, and many Juventus fans were full of confidence at that time, as if Vlahovic had said goodbye to last season's bad luck, but did not want Vlahovic to just show his edge occasionally, and in the next two months, he fell into a "circle of confusion" , either isolated on the pitch or accompanied by injuries, it was not until the end of November against Inter Milan that Chiesa Jr. scored with the help of Chiesa, and this was his fifth goal in the last four months.
In the view of Serie A legend Quagliarella, Vlahovic scored few goals, largely from his inner fear, taking the 16th round of Juve's 1-1 draw with Genoa away as an example, when the game reached the 29th minute, Juve won a penalty, as the team's first penalty taker Vlahovic gave the penalty to Chiesa Jr., in the eyes of fans may be Vlahovic and Chiesa Jr. close, but also Vlahovic is afraid of taking on the pressure of a vivid portrayal.
How can a striker, who is timid in the face of pressure, take on the task of reviving Juventus?
Of course, Vlahovic's current predicament is not his sole responsibility, including former Fiorentina star Antonioni and Serbian coach Stojkovic believe that Vlahovic needs to get more help and support from Juventus coach Allegri and teammates on the field, although Allegri continued to express his trust in Vlahovic at the press conference, but he can do little in terms of technique and tactics, and Juventus lacks artists like Pirlo or Piero in the past, Locatelli and Chiesa Jr. have never been able to create more scoring opportunities for Vlahovic no matter how hard they work, allowing Vlahovic to go further and further on the road to a goal drought.
If Vlahovic's dismal goal statistics are used as a backstop, it will be difficult for Juventus to come out on top in the title race with Inter Milan.
Take a look at Inter Milan striker Lautaro's goal stats this seasonAs of the last round, Lautaro has made 16 league appearances for the Nerazzurri and scored 15 goals, which is more efficient than Vlahovic and Chiesa Jr. combined, not to mention, Inter Milan also has 8 goals in the young goalscorer Marcus Thuram, the attacking line is strong enough to make Juve's several strikers embarrassed.
Interestingly, judging from the current German transfer price, Lautaro's value is as high as 100 million euros, and there is room to continue to rise in the future, while Vlahovic's value of 70 million euros seems to be not low, but it may fall at any time.
At this moment, I really want to shout: Wake up!Vlahovich!If you don't wake up, you're really going to take a big dive!
