The technician immediately focused on Serbian and Dutch, who repaid him by deciding (together with Yildiz) the challenge against Lecce. And for one night the criticisms are forgotten
Vlahovic’s goal on Koopmeiners’ assist. Or vice versa. Who knows how many times last summer Juve fans had imagined the agreement on the pitch between the Serbian striker and the midfielder torn to the sound of millions at Atalanta. And, on the other hand, a network born from one and built on the other took place only twice in the season. In Genoa, more than six months ago, when, on the sixth day, Thiago Motta’s Juve chased the leaders Napoli at a single point, and last night against Lecce, at 32nd, when the victory was essential to the bianconeri to return to the Champions League race really protagonists. In the middle, a flood of criticisms: for Koopmeiners, who appeared as shy and clumsy with the Juve shirt as much as he had been driver with that of Atalanta; And for Vlahovic, Killer Instinctless bomber, with technical difficulties and association with his companions and ended up on the edge with the Italian-Brazilian coach.

And so it was enough for a minute and a half to Dusan and Teun to repay the coach’s expectations and pack the goal of the advantage against Lecce. Taking advantage of a Salento defense not yet fallen into the new reality of the three -sided in three, the Serbian comes to face and sends the Dutch to space, which finds that left cut to surprise Falcone. What Juve fans had dreamed of for a long time in the summer of 2024 and which, instead, at the Stadium saw just 3 times in the season. “Now he has a different leg and head”, Tudor has rejoiced on the Dutchman after the game. Vlahovic, then, was not satisfied, providing Yildiz with the second assist of the evening (as never happened before), at the end of a playstation action. And so, for one night, the disillusioned expectations and losses of the Dutch of the Dutch, the goals eaten (two also against Lecce), the wrong stops and the nervousness for the changes suffered by the Serbian pass.
