Juve without peace: another bad news comes for the Bianconeri: it’s about Vlahovic, here’s what happened
It is not yet time for the deep revolution, but time may be almost definitely running out. Juve is almost at a crossroads: Thiago Motta certainly is, Cristiano Giuntoli probably is too. The Juventus football director has an original sin: his choices have not paid off so far, both in the market and in the choice of coach.
Motta has been his gamble, so far definitely lost. And even the signings on which he has staked firmly so far have not performed according to expectations. Suffice it to think of Koopmeiners: chased for years, ever since his time at Napoli, the Dutchman arrived in bianconero last summer.

As much as 60 million euros paid to Atalanta for the man who was considered the best midfielder in Italy. Only in Turin came his poor brother: performances to forget for Koop, wrecked like the whole Bianconeri team. And so Fiorentina may already be a watershed: a win is needed at all costs to rise again and try to erase the humiliating 0-4 cashed against Atalanta in the last round.

In the event of another defeat, in fact, Thiago Motta’s exoneration could be triggered, with the bench given to a traghettatore until the end of the season and then a new project could be initiated. An eventuality that at Continassa they would like to avert, from Giuntoli to Motta himself, of course.
And it is precisely the coach who is ready to rely on his loyalists, the players he decided to bet on since last July. Among them, I dare say, is not Dusan Vlahovic. The HCL bomber has never been a reference point for the coach. A too static center forward, little inclined to team play, very distant from that Zirkzee pupil of the coach he would have liked so much in Turin as well.
And so, if until January he was game for lack of alternatives, since the arrival of Kolo Muani he has regularly sat on the bench. A second choice, the Frenchman’s reserve to be sent on the field in the final minutes, just as happened on Sunday on the 0-3 for the Dea.
This is an unacceptable situation for Vlahovic, who is experiencing really tough weeks, including psychologically. It is no mystery that the footballer is in trouble and the proof is also given by the slip from which Lookman’s goal for the final 4-0 was born.
