Juventus superstar Dusan Vlahovic returned to the scoreboard for the first time since August to inspire the Bianconeri to a 3-0 win at Genoa. The former Fiorentina center-forward ran the show at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, notching a second-half double to increase his seasonal tally to four goals.
Heading into the match, he was without a goal in three consecutive Serie A outings. Such a disappointing run for a player of his caliber quickly brought the Juventus striker under the microscope. Accused of being sloppy in front of goal, Vlahovic responded with a match-winning performance.
After the game, Vlahovic addressed the provocative talks surrounding his underwhelming form in recent matches.
“There’s no problem, people talk. If you score, you’re the best; if you don’t, you’re the worst. It’s all normal, it’s up to me to respond on the field and I certainly will,” the Juventus ace said, as reported by TMW. “It happens, sometimes there are fewer chances.
“People expect me to solve matches and it’s normal, I don’t run away. I always give 100%, I’m super calm and I’ll always give my best on the field. For a striker when you don’t score it’s difficult, but today we won and that’s the only thing that matters,” Vlahovic maintained.
He also shared his thoughts about Francisco Conceicao, who scored his first goal for Juventus last evening.
“Conceicao? He’s just arrived, it takes time to get used to it. He can already speak, but he’s a perfectionist and still speaks Portuguese,” Vlahovic stated.
