“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.
