«Juve called me, everything is fine. The gossip? Nothing true»- Corriere.it

Dusan Vlahovic a bundle of nerves. He scored his first goal at the World Cup, but went out with Serbia. It comes from hard days, both for the athletic work done to beat the groin that torments him, and for the gossip about an alleged flirtation with the wife of the second servant goalkeeper, Rajkovic. Without obviously forgetting the troubles of his Juventus.

Vlahovic, what did you think of Agnelli’s resignation?


Now let’s see when I go back to Turin what happened, I didn’t understand very well. It was certainly a pleasure to have him as president.

Have you talked about it among you Juventus players?

No.

Did someone from the company call you?

S. We talked: everything is fine.

Not worried about finding a chaotic situation?

I’m a player, I’m focused on the pitch.

Could it be a further stimulus for a comeback?

It won’t be easy: we are 10 points behind Napoli who play great football. But Juve never gives up and we will fight until the end.

This against Switzerland a burning elimination?

We certainly could have done better: we have to grow a lot and now we’re thinking about qualifying for the European Championship

Was his first goal marred by defeat?

Yes, it was a great feeling, but we lost: the goal means nothing.

But what does exultation mean?

My personal stuff.

That’s all?

It wasn’t a provocation, it was just for myself.

Was there too much gossip?

I’ve already talked about this, it was a very bad thing. And not a real thing.

What happened with Xhaka instead?

What do I know, was I on the bench?

Exactly, it was a gesture aimed at the bench and it unleashed chaos: perhaps it was aimed at Rajkovic?

I do not answer on this.

Did he expect more from himself?

Yes, but I was out for a month and a half and it was my first game as a starter in a long time. I felt good, but it wasn’t easy.

Is going out after an hour part of the recovery plan?

The pain has decreased a lot, is still present, but I’m much better: it was a choice of the coach.
