The Serbian against Villarreal has taken the stage, but the defensive attitude of the team does not help him to express his full potential
Twenty-four balls hit, two shots – both in the mirror – and one goal. This is the numerical synthesis of Dusan Vlahovic’s performance last night in Vila-real. Twenty-four balls played, given Opta: among the eleven bianconeri in the starting line-up, the center-forward is the player who has made the fewest hits. From his point of view it was a triumph, the Serbian managed to take the stage despite having little or no involvement in the game with the ball. He didn’t get a cross from the bottom, for example. Danilo immediately looked for him with a throw from behind which he transformed into the net of advantage. Towards the end he tried from distance with a powerful blow, defused with apprehension by Rulli. They were Juve’s only shots on goal at the Ceramica stadium and were made by the player least involved with the ball. He who knows what Dusan would have done if he had a team behind him capable of looking for him and serving him continuously.
