Standard King
Although the major giants are stingy when renewing their contracts with the players in the team, they still expose their real family background when they really spend money to buy people.
Like Juventus.
On the 28th local time, Juventus officially announced that Fiorentina striker Vlahovic officially joined Juventus and left 70 million euros for his old club wearing Juventus No. 7 shirt. In addition, there is a floating clause of 10 million euros that can be activated after the future conditions are met.
Considering that there are few superstars in the winter window, if there is no accident, Serbia’s new star will become the standard King of the winter window in 2022.
In today’s football world, data has gradually become the best bargaining chip on the transfer table.
In the first half of this season, Vlahovic has scored 20 goals for Fiorentina in 24 games, approaching the efficiency of averaging goals. Especially in Serie A, 21 goals in 21 games have reached the peak level of mero’s goals.
Juventus, on the other hand, are short of goals.
In the Serie A table, Juventus only ranked fifth, but their defense data is actually pretty good. The level of 21 goals lost is second only to Inter Milan and Naples, and can rank third in Serie A. what hinders their achievements is offensive firepower.
34 goals, not only the worst in the top six of Serie A, but also in the top 10 of the whole table, only Turin, which ranked 10th, scored fewer goals than them. Even sasolo and Empoli, who ranked 11th and 12th, scored better than them.
It must be with this in mind that Juventus hesitated on the renewal of dibala’s contract and spent a lot of money on the introduction of Vlahovic.
The reason why Juve’s offensive firepower has deteriorated is actually very simple.
“Ronaldo is the kind of player who can score goals when entering the penalty area. He rarely wastes opportunities. We have been short of such players this season.”
After the game against Udinese, dricht talked about the offensive dilemma of Juve in the post game interview. In his opinion, Ronaldo’s departure is obviously a major turning point.
Although Chiellini, Bonucci and Buffon, who have left the team, have said that the arrival of Ronaldo has made Juventus lose some team spirit and more personal heroism, the data are here. When Ronaldo is in the team, he can guarantee them 30 goals and a large number of victories; Ronaldo left the team and 30 goals disappeared. As dricht said, everyone should take more responsibility.
Although morata scored a lot of goals and dibala seemed to have found the peak state in the past, even so, they can only help Juventus reach the offensive level that is not ranked No. 1 in Serie A.
To make up for Ronaldo’s lack, Juventus must need more help, so they thought of Vlahovic.
In fact, the 22-year-old Serbian is the standard rising star in football. In the summer of 2018, Florence brought him from Belgrade guerrillas to Italy at the price of 1.9 million euros. When he first arrived, he even started his own pace from Florence U19.
However, in 2018-19 season, he completed his debut in Serie A, but the first goal of Serie A was not late until the second season.
Because of his debut, he thanked then coach Pioli for being willing to give a young man like himself a chance, and for making him what he is today, he would like to thank Prandelli.
In November 2020, the former Italian national team coach took over Florence. Although he received the notice of class termination only four months later, in a short time, he helped Vlahovic as the main force and carried out tactics around it, which inspired Vlahovic’s left foot shooting ability.
This is also the technical link he is most proud of:
With the support of data and performance, Prandelli left office and Italian Nuo took over. The position of Vlahovic’s main force did not change with the change of manager.
Moreover, it is in the tactical system of Italian Nuo that maximizing flajovic’s shooting ability has become the top priority of the team’s tactics. The players did not make the coach’s tactical design come to naught. Therefore, from another perspective, flajovic’s performance is also inseparable from the support of the team.
As a striker with a height of 190cm, Vlahovic’s fulcrum ability is not outstanding, and his ball protection and passing are slightly general. Therefore, similar to many young players now, he relies on the impact formed by physique and speed to attack his opponent. Coupled with good left foot shooting ability, his outstanding goal efficiency this season has naturally attracted the attention of many giants.
As the overlord of Serie A, Juventus, which lacks scoring firepower, naturally occupies the advantage of “getting the moon first in close proximity”.
According to the characteristics of Vlahovic, after adapting to the team’s tactics for a period of time, he should be able to quickly harvest his goals at Juventus. Moreover, it still needs to be observed to impact the league title next season, but it should not be a problem to keep his Champions League seat.
The real suspense is actually in the strong dialogue.
Just like Harland with similar characteristics, there will be performance decline caused by various reasons in the face of giants. Similarly, Vlahovic, who has a larger physique but has no center tactical role, will also have similar problems.
In the face of a strong enemy, the opponent’s individual defense ability is stronger and naturally will not give more space, which is a severe challenge for Vlahovic who needs space to exert his impact.
By then, the quality of 80 million Euros can be tested.
There is no doubt that Vlahovic is a good player, but as dalino said, in fact, he still needs more carving in order to become a really excellent and independent player.
However, today’s Juventus obviously can’t afford to wait. They need immediate combat power to impact the top four or even the championship, but this is not good for the development of Vlahovic. I’m afraid it’s difficult for the latter to provide more role for the team in the strong dialogue.
Whether 80 million euros is worth more depends on the training of the team.
