“Allegri among the top. Juve, what a surprise!”
The focus is on improving, but Vlahovic has already learned a lot since he arrived in Italy: “There is a lot of tactics here, with closed teams, and this teaches me a lot. I have the chance to do this by working with Massimiliano Allegri, one of the strongest technicians of the last 20 years, he knows how to talk to the players: he helps me a lot. Arriving at Juventus I found a different reality than what I imagined: I expected the best, but this is even more! They are very organized right from the simplest things, in everyday life: all this is surprising. When you set foot inside the sports center you immediately perceive the desire to win and the sense of family“.
Vlahovic and reference models
When it comes to role models, Vlahovic has no doubts: “Cristiano Ronaldo, who I followed when he was a winger at Manchester United. I appreciated his movements and his killer instinct: I think it’s among the best in history. Also Ibrahimovic and the Torres of Liverpool. Then, there is Benzemawhich I love. Mbappé he is 25 years old and has already almost won everything, he has scored 40 goals this season. Also Girouda giant: you look at the statistics, but they don’t explain how important a footballer is“. And speaking of statistics: “I’m not a Neymar, Messi or Hazard type player who when you see him you say ‘Wow!’. But if the attacker plays well, the whole team plays well. Football has changed, people say it is more physical but you need to have top technique. They say that there are no longer the 10s of the past, but I believe there are very great footballers today too: we see them less because everything is very fast“.
