Juve, under pressure Vlahovic is exalted: numbers predestined for Dusan. And now he challenges Fiorentina | First page

Too much pressure? Not at all. The responsibilities someone like Dusan Vlahovic goes to look for them, even if someone like Max Allegri wants to try to distribute them throughout the team. 13 minutes were enough to make him score his first goal for Juventus, the first knockout match was enough to make him decisive, two subdued performances and a handful of criticisms were enough to make him understand what it means to be at Juve. Then him he did something that only for someone like him may seem simple simple: he took the team by the hand in the moment of greatest need. It was already a Juve in an emergency that presented itself in Vila-Real, in 32 seconds and pennies he found the goal that allowed the Bianconeri to face the match according to the ideal script despite the difficulties that led to 1-1. . In Empoli then the bianconeri were really reduced to a minimum, before the interval Denis Zakaria also had to raise the white flag, so the usual Vlahovic took care of dragging Juve towards three very heavy points. So heavy that even the Scudetto that Allegri continues to define as impossible, now in the Juventus locker room it is no longer experienced as such. After all, with one more Dusan Vlahovic, it is right to start again to remove the word “impossible” from the Juventus vocabulary, even in the midst of such a complicated and disappointing season. Before there was, now there is, Juve with him has found the man who fills the area, keeps the opposing defense busy, provides a reference for the whole team on every occasion, especially scoring goals: they are 5 in 6 games (4 and a half considering that against Sassuolo in the Italian Cup), Ronaldeschi numbers, in fact. TOWARDS FLORENCE – And for the first time in the first time, on Wednesday night Vlahovic will have his first as a former viola. There is Fiorentina-Juventus on the calendar, the first leg of the Italian Cup will be a special match for him in particular even if he tries (rightly) to talk about it as if it were any match. It will also be the most difficult of his entire career, but only so far: everyone is waiting for him at the gate in Florence, having chosen Juve is a wrong that the Viola fans never forgive and he must be ready to play in a fiery environment. A good litmus test for 7, yet another, certainly will not be the last. But the pressures only seem to make Vlahovic stronger.–
