Dusan returns to the starting lineup after 161 days and is immediately decisive: “Will these be my last games in black and white? We’ll see…”
He always scores. Dusan Vlahovic is back and he won’t stop. The DV9 effect is a bit like that of the old summer hits that suddenly come back into fashion with the same success. A goal coming off the bench last week against Verona. A stamp after twelve seconds last night in Lecce, his first start after 160 days. So much so that the chorus of the Juventus fans at Via del Mare started up again: “Dusan, Dusan, Dusan”. The striker from Belgrade may not be at his best yet, but that’s enough for Juventus. From the series: sorry if you missed me. Vlahovic, after adductor surgery in December and four months in the pits, wants to be the shot of the Champions League sprint and he is succeeding. Luciano Spalletti feels more confident with Dusan’s centimeters in the center of the area and this is also why yesterday he couldn’t resist the temptation to start him from the first minute. Not even having time to give him the shirt before the former Fiorentina player threw the ball into the goal with all the anger accumulated in recent months.
“We see…”

It won’t be enough to immediately sign the renewal with Juventus, but in the meantime he gives the Lady the provisional third place and brings the Champions League closer. For one night, that’s all that matters. “My last two games at Juve? Let’s see… – underlines Vlahovic at the end of the match -. I’m happy with the goal and I thank the coach for his trust. I haven’t played for a long time since the start, I miss the routine a bit. The important thing is the three points. We could have been more killer and cynical, but that’s fine: I was also a bit unlucky with the disallowed goal. We need to raise the bar even more. We have everything in our hands, we need to be concentrated and win the next two We play a lot.”
Like Pipita

Sorry for the wait. Not that Spalletti and Juventus hadn’t felt the absence of their center forward, but Vlahovic is doing his utmost to increase the regret of what could have been with him at the center of the attack in recent months. DV9 scored six goals before his injury and two since his return at the end of March. Exactly the same as Jonathan David in the entire season and six more than Lois Openda. Dusan had never scored a goal so quickly and not even Juventus had celebrated after so few seconds. Heavy and record-breaking signature. The record of 18 seconds set by Arturo Vidal, one of the great protagonists of the first championships of the Conte-Allegri era, has been beaten, and Pipita Gonzalo Higuain has reached 66 goals with the black and white shirt. Not to mention that Dusan at Via del Mare broke the deadlock for the 26th time since he was in Turin.
And the renewal?

Numbers that will come back into focus in the next meetings for the renewal between CEO Damien Comolli and Milos, the father representative of DV9. The economic distance has slowed down the discussions, but the game is not yet completely over and the Champions League goals will perhaps help to unfreeze the situation. Bayern, Barcelona and Milan permitting.
