The Serbian, scorer of the goal that opened the match won against Udinese, does not hide the team’s responsibilities in farewell to Tudor and does not close the possibility of staying
The real Dusan Vlahovic is back and has chased away the Lady’s nightmares, as in the best moments. For one evening only that matters and everything else takes a backseat, even the contract that is ever closer to expiring (June 2026) and the courtships of the big European teams. “Is there still the possibility of renewing the agreement with Juventus? I don’t know how many months are left – underlines the Serbian striker at the end of the match -. In football you never say never, but I don’t know what will happen. In any case, it makes no sense to talk about it now given the situation we are in. We need to talk little and work a lot. I’m only focused on the present and my only thought is to make Juventus win as much as possible.” DV9 proved it once again and not just by returning to scoring after 43 days and 286 minutes of abstinence. From the brace against Borussia Dortmund (16 September) to the victory against Udinese. Dusan found the net again and ended Juventus’ negative streak, which came from 3 defeats and 4 games without a goal. Total performance, from a technical and emotional leader. The stamp on the penalty that broke the deadlock at the start, the angry celebration, the near-double on several occasions, the sacrifice when not in possession. An attitude that inflamed the Allianz Stadium, which honored him with a thrilling standing ovation upon leaving the pitch. “I’ve experienced ups and downs with the fans. I thank the public for the push and the applause, but the whole team deserves it. I try to help even when I don’t score, we have several leaders in the locker room.”

Valuable notes for the new coach Luciano Spalletti, ready to start again with the Serbian at the center of the attack. And also for John Elkann, CEO of Exor and nephew of Lawyer Agnelli, who at the end of the match went down to the locker room and congratulated everyone in person. Dusan is increasingly the Juventus top scorer with 5 goals between Serie A (3) and Champions League (2). “I am aware – continues the Serbian – that one goal per game is expected from Juve’s nine, I for one would like to score a hundred goals per season”. Now the hope is that the Spalletti effect, one that has always exalted its leaders – from Totti to Dzeko, from Icardi to Osimhen – will also work with Vlahovic, David, Openda and in general with the whole Lady. “We had to win and we did, but we shouldn’t have conceded an equalizer at the end of the first half. In the second half we entered the field with ferocity and deserved the success against Udinese. We sent a signal, now it’s important to send others.” In the next few hours the Lady will inaugurate the Spalletti era, but Vlahovic does not hide and calls the team to their responsibilities: “We have changed three coaches in a year and a half and it is everyone’s fault, we must look in the mirror. I thank Tudor for what he did”.
