Alvaro Morata, Dusan Vlahovic’s partner in the attack, was close to leaving Juventus and joining the Barcelona team during the winter transfer window, but the arrival of the Serbian striker in Allegri’s team gave new life to the Spaniard.
– Allegri knows my qualities and shortcomings, he told me that he trusts me, and now I have to fight to justify that trust. We also talked during the transition period, about ideas and how he sees the team. He told me that Dušan’s arrival would have an extremely important impact on my game, and that’s how it was. If I were to ask myself, I would stay here at Juventus forever – said Morata.
Vlahovic will make his debut in the Champions League in tomorrow’s match against Villarreal in the duel of the eighth-finals.
– Vlahovic and Zakaria brought enthusiasm to the team. Dusan is very young and has a great career ahead of him. He fit in, he is good on the field and with a little luck he could achieve his first goal in the Champions League tomorrow – the former Real Madrid player explained and added:
– We have gained new dynamics and a lot of self-confidence. We face difficulties in different ways, which speaks to our progress. Now we have a match in the Champions League ahead of us and we have to do our best. Villarreal plays well with the ball in their feet and they are steady in defense – said the Spaniard before the match.
In the championship, Morata and his teammates are fighting for a place in the top 4 and the Scudetto for the Old Lady seems far from reality, but the “Nero-Azures” still have a chance to lift two trophies this season.
– We still have a lot of targets. Maybe winning the league and trophies in previous years was taken for granted. We still have the Champions League and the Italian Cup ahead of us. Who knows, we could win an important trophy. If others want him, they will have to beat us – concluded Alvaro Morata.
Villarreal and Juventus will play the duel of the eighth-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday, starting at 9 p.m.
