DUSAN VLAHOVIC: THE NEXT BIG THING
Juventus have been in form for this January transfer window as they won the race to Arsenal to add Dusan Vlahovic to the squad for 85 million dollars, seems a lot huh? but believe me, Vlahovic is worth every penny spent on him.
Who is Dusan Vlahovic?
Vlahovic is the new Juventus no.7. It’s just a matter of time until this name will be all around social media, magazines, etc. as the “Next big thing” just like Erling Haaland and and Kylian Mbappe.
Former Clubs and Goals
Vlahovic graduated from the Partizan’s youth system. He made his first-team debut in 2016, winning a league title and two Serbian cups
Fiorentina
In 2018, Vlahovic moved to Italian club Fiorentina. In the 2020–2021 season, he found himself as a starter banging 21 goals in the back of the net. He was named the Serie-A best young player of the year. In his previous season and a half at Fiorentina, he scored 38 league goals. He was also the only player in Europe’s top-five leagues born after 2000, alongside Erling Haaland, to have scored at least 40 goals in Europe’s top-five leagues.
JUVENTUS
Vlahovic joined Juventus on his 22nd birthday in the January transfer window. Arsenal was also seriously interested in him, but he had Juventus in his mind.
The start of his Juve chapter was quite good but in the last few matches of the season, he was not spotted on the scoresheet which is a little bit disappointing but nothing to worry about as good things take time. We hope next season he will be at his best because Juve is looking to strengthen up their midfield and in this regard, Pogba is on the verge of joining the Italian giants.
Already Setting Records
Dusan Vlahovic has set a modern Juventus record after bagging his debut goal vs Villareal in the UCL in just 32 seconds! This goal made him the quickest European scorer for the club in the Modern era.
THE PERFECT STRIKER
Dusan Vlahovic can be named “the perfect striker”
Here’s why:
Vlahovic is known for his technical ability and his eye for goals. Thanks to his physique, he can not be easily bullied by defenders and manages to keep the ball to his feet before kicking it to the back of the net.
NIGHTMARE FOR DEFENDERS:
Dusan Vlahovic is a nightmare for defenders. With his 1.9m height and strong physique, he is not easy to man-mark and very effective in corners and long passes.
CLASSIC NO. 9
His speed, strength, size, and his ability of scoring goals make him a classic no.9
FAST AND QUICK
The quick movement of Vlahovic allows him to find more space and get him out of reach of the defender.
He also doesn’t waste time dribbling inside the box instead whenever he finds space to shoot, he quickly takes a shot, and thanks to the accuracy he has in his shots, the ball ends up in the net beating the goalkeeper.
TECHNICAL ABILITY
Most of the strikers with large size and good strength are only effective inside the box and possess no other skill other than being a goal poacher. But this is not the case for Vlahovic. Along with his size and strength, he is also very fast and good with the ball at his feet which helps him be effective outside the box in link-up plays and beating the defender.
NATURAL GOALSCORER
A center forward who does not score goals is a burden for the team even if he is good in other aspects. Vlahovic does not disappoint in this regard also, his natural instinct to score goals is matched by his incredibly clean and accurate shooting technique as the Serbian striker is capable of executing all types of shots including curling efforts, power strikes, and precise finishes with the inside of the boot. Furthermore, Dusan has a remarkable feel for the goal and does not need too many touches before getting a shot off
MAKES GREAT RUNS
The arrival of through passes from midfield needs to be collected and possessed properly by the striker or else a fabulous chance is missed. Vlahovic can make great runs toward the goal, making up good space for himself, and thanks to his strength defenders cannot easily bully him.
CONCLUSION
Vlahovic next season will live up to the hype and expectations next season and with his ability of the perfect striker, he can prove that he is the next big thing!
