The Serbian striker is still very nervous: annoyed and dissatisfied at the time of the substitution. The Juventus coach shuts down the case, even the coach downplays it. But the fans are fed up.
Dusan Vlahovic was very nervous when he was replaced in Monza. The Juventus striker was unable to score against the league's bottom team and, once called back to the bench 5 minutes from time to the advantage of Mbangula, he let himself go for a blatant display of intolerance. Against Motta? Against himself? Against the referee Massawho had denied him two penalties? Maybe. The people of the web are divided on the reasons for the Serbian's anger, but are very severe in their judgments towards him.
Monza-Juventus, Vlahovic's reaction after the substitution
As confirmed by the images broadcast live on DAZN, After returning to the bench, Vlahovic indulged in a real drama. Visibly annoyed, before putting on his jacket he took off his shin guards and threw one violently to the ground, while muttering something. An obvious annoyance and discontent. But who did the striker have it against, scoring against Venezia and in the Italian Cup against Cagliari, but not performing too well in Monza?
Vlahovic unhappy with Motta? The coach's words
The most popular hypothesis among Juventus fans, at least initially, was that Vlahovic was angry with the coach. “He's alone, he can't always play 90 minutes. What do you want?”, the comment of a user on X. “A little theater like this at every change? Enough is enough”, another social criticism. Actually Motta's words on TV at the end of the match ruled out any friction with the Serbian: “Vlahovic nervous? Dusan had a great performance, I'm happy with what he did.”
Spalletti also defends Vlahovic: he wasn't angry with the manager
Vlahovic's gesture of discontent was also discussed on Domenica Sportiva. Among the guests is the national team coachLuciano Spalletti, who excluded forms of protest among the possible motivations of the singular show: “Sometimes you are dissatisfied for not being able to give something more”. In short, not out of anger against anyone, but simply for not having repeated his latest performances brilliant. Although for many fans there are other reasons behind it.
Was Vlahovic angry with the referee? The two penalties denied by Massa
For some, Vlahovic was very nervous about the two penalties called during the second half and denied by referee Massa. A couple of disputed situations, which however – at least judging by the indications of the main moviolists – would not have been worthy of maximum punishment. For several fans, simply, Vlahovic can no longer handle Juve's pressure. “He understood that he didn't belong to a big club.” And again: “Sooner or later they'll kick him out”. Or even: “Every week this noise: enough is enough, we're at Juventus.”
