Massimo Paganin has said that Thiago Motta is doing his finest to assist Dusan Vlahovic thrive at Juventus, however in the end, it’s as much as the Serbian striker to adapt and meet his supervisor’s expectations. Motta, who joined Juventus with clear plans for his squad, selected to maintain Vlahovic regardless of figuring out the participant had a distinct profile to the supervisor’s most popular sort of striker, exemplified by Joshua Zirkzee.
Zirkzee flourished beneath Motta’s tutelage at Bologna, and Juventus was reportedly eager on signing the Dutch ahead. Nevertheless, Manchester United swooped in and secured Zirkzee’s providers. There has since been hypothesis linking Zirkzee with one other transfer, doubtlessly to Juventus throughout this switch window, however the monetary feasibility of such a deal for the Bianconeri stays unsure.
For now, the main target stays on Vlahovic, who has had a blended season regardless of reaching double digits in targets. Paganin believes the duty for enchancment lies with the striker himself, as Motta has already put within the work to try to maximise his potential.
Chatting with Tuttojuve, Paganin defined:
“I’m with Motta. Final yr he had a distinct striker, he has to work with Vlahovic, and he’s a part of the participant’s development path. He nonetheless has to search out his dimension. Motta desires to stimulate the participant, and now it’s as much as him to work on himself to make the leap in high quality.”
Vlahovic’s tally to date has been stable, however given the expectations of a striker at Juventus, extra is required. As Paganin suggests, a major a part of this enchancment should come from the participant’s personal efforts to adapt and elevate his sport beneath Motta’s steerage.
For Juventus, having a prolific and dependable striker is important of their push for home and European success. Vlahovic, whereas gifted, should show he has what it takes to justify his position because the staff’s main ahead. With out marked enchancment, questions will proceed to be raised about his suitability for the membership’s long-term ambitions.
