DEL PIERO PRAISES VLAHOVIC: He was under pressure, he didn't hit the net for a long time

The legend of the “Old Lady” Alessandro del Piero spoke highly of Juventus striker and Serbian national team member Dusan Vlahovic.

The Serb was the scorer in last night’s Italian Serie A derby, where Juventus and Inter in Turin shared the points, it was 1:1.

There is still talk about the action in Juvetnus’ leading goal when Vlahovic stole the ball in the middle of the field from Dumfries, passed it to Chiesa, who did everything on the left side and assisted Dusan for the Bianconeri’s lead.

After the match was over, former club player Alessandro del Piero also analyzed it.

“Juve’s position in the league? It’s right where it deserves to be, regardless of the criticism that is coming at their game. Vlahovic’s goal? The difference was made by the ball he sent to Chiesa, who started the counterattack. How many attackers are capable of doing something like that? It is difficult to score a goal against Juventus, the statistics say so. Allegri built a fortress.” Del Piero said.

He pointed out that the Serbian footballer has a slightly different role than before, considering the demands of the team’s coach, Massimiliano Allegri.

“Vlahovic? I want to emphasize that you are always under a lot of tension when you play for a club like Juventus. He hasn’t scored in a while, so you have to look at it in a different context.” underlined Alessandro.

Juventus will play their next match in Serie A on December 1, away to Monza, which they defeated both times in the domestic championship last season, without conceding a goal.
