“Vlahovic he has pressure and character problems”. Those were very harsh words uttered by Marco Borriello in his interview with Tuttosport towards the Serbian center forward, in whom he evidently doesn’t have great confidence: “Playing in Juventus it’s not easy, it has fans who are used to winning with a great history. You can see that he is agitated, he implodes, then in the end he has to be more calm. I would recommend him to do some yoga, it helps a lot. One says: ‘But why sometimes he can’t stop the ball and on other occasions he scores wonderful goals?’. The answer lies precisely in the tranquility with which he is able to play. He needs to work on his character. It’s true that he’s Serbian, but he’s young, he hasn’t seen the war. He is a strong attacker with his characteristics. I read about Zirkzee, maybe he goes better with Thiago Motta’s game, but then he scores 9 goals in total.”
Vlahovic made 23 appearances this season (16 in Serie A, one in the Italian Cup, one in the Italian Super Cup and 5 in the Champions League), scoring 12 goals. With Juventus he boasted 124 goals and 53 goals, while with Fiorentina he scored 49 in 108 appearances. In his career he also played 27 matches with Partizan Belgrade, finding the way to goal 3 times.
To these we must add the 13 goals in 32 matches with Serbia and the 6 goals in the 11 matches with the Under 19s. In his past also 3 matches with the Under 21s and 3 matches with the Under 15s.
