Former West Ham and Lazio striker Paolo Di Canio has praised Dusan Vlahovic’s two “superb” goals in Juventus’ 3-2 win over Leipzig, saying it is how the striker of the Bianconeri should “channel his positive energy” after his controversial celebration against Genoa last Sunday.
The Serbia international scored twice in the Bianconeri’s Champions League match, and Di Canio was happy not to see him repeat those controversial gestures while celebrating what he defined as typical of ‘little players’.
With his celebration after scoring his second goal against Genoa, which saw him make a gesture meaning “keep talking”, Vlahovic responded to those who doubted his lack of goals as he was unable to help the team from Thiago Motta during their three-goal streak. consecutive goalless draws in Serie A.
Di Canio praises Vlahovic’s redemption: ‘That’s all he has to do’
“Both Vlahovic goals were breathtaking,” Sky Sport Italia pundit Di Canio said after the match.
“So that’s all Vlahovic has to do: channel his positive energy, knowing that he is number nine at Juventus and he has to do it.
“Have you seen? He scored twice today and didn’t do it like that (no controversial gesture). Because a very good player who becomes champion in such an important team can abandon these behaviors.
“He knows he will be criticized, that we will criticize him when it is from our point of view, and he will respond that way. It’s good.
