Former Italian soccer supervisor Fabio Capello fears Dusan Vlahovic isn’t the best profile to spearhead the cost for Thiago Motta’s Juventus, one thing that might value the membership dearly in the long term.
Because of the lack of options, the Serbian has been omnipresent in Bianconeri’s beginning lineup this season. He was given the nod in all 12 Serie A fixtures and 4 Champions League outings to this point, producing blended outcomes. His seasonal tally contains six home targets and one other two on the European stage.
The 24-year-old has been decisive on just a few events, however equally wasteful on others, leaving followers and pundits arguing over his credentials.
For his half, Capello doesn’t essentially query the talents of the previous Fiorentina bomber, however he feels his traits aren’t completely suited to Motta’s taking part in philosophy.
“Thiago Motta’s workforce is rising, however there’s all the time one large query mark: the centre-forward,” notes the 78-year-old in his interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport by way of IlBianconero.
“Vlahovic, as a consequence of his traits, will not be his coach’s best quantity 9. Subsequently, he struggles like loopy when he’s away from the penalty field. This could possibly be an issue in the long term, a minimum of if the membership aspires to struggle for the Scudetto title this season.”
The Serbia worldwide is a traditional marksman blessed with a robust physique and stable tempo. However as Capello defined, Vlahovic isn’t the kind of striker who can drop again and assist his teammates within the buildup like Joshua Zirkzee used to function in Motta’s Bologna over the earlier two campaigns.
This explains why studies from Italy and England proceed to hyperlink Juventus with a January transfer for the Dutchman who has been enduring depressing instances since signing for Manchester United final summer season. It stays to be seen if the Purple Devils might be open to loaning out the 23-year-old in January.
