Vladimir Jugovicformer midfielder of Juventusspoke to the Gazzetta also leading up to tonight’s match against Milan.
These are his words: “I put the 6-1 victory against Milan among my five best matches of my career. We were a Juventus that was always hungry. The 1997 match was a great team match and also on a personal level: 2 goals, the assist for Vieri. And we faced Berlusconi’s Milan… I don’t know if Juve is dependent on Vlahovic, but the numbers are the same: 4 games without Dusan and never a victory. In general, the many draws have an effect. In my time we would have experienced them as defeats. I am of the opinion that if you buy a player you take him as he is and not as you would like him to be. Dusan is my compatriot and I wish him to win like I did at Juve. I remain of the opinion that to build a winning team, total midfielders are essential, and they are also decisive in front of goal.”
On comparisons with the past: “Many people scored in my Juventus team, not just the strikers: Zidane, Conte, me…Koop has everything: humility, desire to work and quality. It just needs to be completely unlocked, starting with Milan. The Bianconeri have the chance to redeem the Super Cup and deal a blow to the Rossoneri in fourth place. Juventus must send a strong signal. Yildiz thrives on big nights. Scoring against Milan, Inter or in derbies is important, but what makes you a champion are the goals that bring victories and trophies. Yildiz is young, talented and on the right path.”
