The former Lazio and Juventus striker speaks again from the pages of the Gazzetta dello Sport Alen Boksic. Many topics were touched upon by the Croatian who revealed how he will be at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday evening to attend Lazio – Verona and cheer for his friend Igor Tudor.
Italian Cup?
I’m happy for Juve, but I’m sorry for Lazio and for my friend Tudor, who came close to achieving the feat. I’ll see Igor again on Saturday: I’ll be at the Olimpico for the match against Verona.
Juventus
From Juve, however, more and more is expected: the Italian Cup is a trophy, but it does not move the Bianconeri’s season. You expect Juve to at least fight for the scudetto until the end. Instead this year the race ended in February, in the direct clash with Inter. Since then I have seen too many non-Juventus matches.
Vlahovic
He is an excellent striker and is only 24 years old. He showed quality between Fiorentina and Juve. Dusan can become a top player like Haaland. But I never like comparisons. And in any case in Italy it is more difficult for a center forward to score than in England. It was like that in my time and it is like that now. But… An attacker always depends on the teammates he has behind him. Well, I was lucky: I turned back and saw Zidane, Jugovic, Deschamps, Conte… And next to me I had Del Piero or Vieri. Dusan, on the other hand, plays in a more wait-and-see Juve and has difficulty creating play.
Modric
Modric is blessed by God, it’s football: I would recommend him to any top club, even Juventus. I don’t know if Luka will leave Real at the end of the day, where already this season he has acted as mother hen to Bellingham and the other young players, but I am convinced that he has another two years of high-level football in his legs. Modric alone wouldn’t be enough to reach Inter, who deservedly won the Scudetto by a landslide, but he would give a good hand.
