Once the season is over, the appointment with the report cards returns on Toro News: it’s Vlasic’s turn
Once the season is over, the appointment with the end-of-year report cards returns to Toro News: we will assign a grade to each player that summarizes the 2023/2024 season. Enjoy the reading.
Nikola Vlasic he is certainly among Ivan Juric’s favorites and this is demonstrated by the minutes played in the season: 2,759 in all competitions, 30 games as a starter, 3 as a substitute and no bench. In the last period, however, the Croatian’s muscular problems have become noticeable, especially in the loss of dynamism in his movements.
Top match: Turin 3-0 Naples, Turin 3-0 Atalanta
—
The home match against Napoli was one of the Croatian’s best performances of the season: he wasted an excellent opportunity only in front of goal in the first half, but made up for it in a big way with a goal in the second half. A great goal from a player who perhaps shoots too little from outside for his talents. The home performance against Atalanta also stands out, a Vlasic who puts on a show: not just the assist for Zapata, he plays all over the pitch and shows off his quality.
Flop match: Turin 0-0 Salernitana
—
A match played by Vlasic without particular inspiration. Against Salernitana again placed a few meters ahead on the left, he tries to come forward to create spaces for Bellanova and Ricci, but the right chain is blocked. Lots of movements, but few concrete things, so much so that he was replaced 20 minutes after the restart with Pellegri.
Vlasic, the end-of-season report card: the vote
—
The vote does not reach the pass mark, a 5.5. Vlasic has always been used given his tactical flexibility, both as a winger and as an attacking midfielder. This season, however, there has been a lack of both goals and assists: only three goals and two decisive passes compared to five goals and eight assists last season.
