Motta smiles for the three points and for the return of the Argentine, the team's new wild card. The Serbian, however, was nervous after a disappointing performance
A lot of suffering, but three important points. there Juventus after 43 days she returned to victory in Serie A. The Bianconeri narrowly surpassed the Monza thanks to the goals of McKennie and of the discovery Nico Gonzalezwho immediately showed off after two months of absence. Toughest evening for Vlahovicwho fought hard and kept opposing defenders at bay, but didn't have many easy balls to play. And Massa's refereeing measure made him a little nervous.
Nico Gonzalez, new Juve wildcard
“For Juventus I also play in goal” – he said Nico Gonzalez at the end of the match to the microphones of Dazn. A godsend for Thiago Motta who finally has a flexible footballer at his disposal, capable of expressing himself to the fullest on his board and scoring goals. The Argentine has played many roles in his career and always with the same quality. Against Monza he played behind Vlahovicacting both as a link and as a second striker, thanks also to his skills in the aerial game. An additional solution for the Juventus coach, who could also deploy him on the left, centralizing Yildiz instead. An evening ended with a smile from the former Fiorentina player, unlike Dusan who instead showed a bit of nervousness after the substitution.
Vlahovic nervous, what happened after the substitution
The attacker after the substitution at the end of the match against Monza he seemed very nervous on the bench. More for the performance and Massa's match direction too permissive, than for the choice of Thiago Motta. It all started from one missed whistle in penalty area after a challenge with Pablo Marì which sent Vlahovic into a rage. Then for the next few minutes he lost clarity, the coach called him back several times and then took him off the pitch. Zero controversy over the substitution, in fact the striker also shook hands with his coach, while there was a lot of frustration for his match. A great attachment to the shirt on his part, after the last few good matches and the goals scored, but not all fans think the same.
Vlahovic breaks the fans: the social reaction
At this moment Juventus fans seem split in two: there are those who tolerate Vlahovic and who doesn't. The Serbian is the team's top scorer, he has scored many decisive goals and has never failed to give his best. But for some this is not enoughmore is needed. The many wasted opportunities, the bickering and the nervousness were not liked by everyone: “In this first part of the season we have devoured at least a dozen goals scored and interesting opportunities. If he had made 5 of those ten we would have a completely different ranking. That's the problem.”. “Dusan is fed up”, “How do we plan to score with Vlahovic lost and not getting one right” others wrote.
Yet during the season he demonstrated several times that he scores non-trivial goals, such as against Cagliari or Leipzig. If he doesn't think of it, it's difficult for others to do it. And someone noticed. And many also understood his reaction in the last few hours: “Whoever thinks that Vlahovic got angry with Thiago Motta has never played football. He was angry with himself and felt the tension of the moment. No controversy.” Who will be right?
