The words of Alen Boksic

La Gazzetta dello Sport dusted off Alen Boksic, former Juventus striker who spoke precisely about the Bianconeri of yesterday and today, as well as tomorrow: "When I think of Juve, the first image è the Champions League final lost to Borussia Dortmund. At Juve when you win è it is a relief and it seems normal. Defeats, on the other hand, are a blow and that’s why they stick with you. Coppa Italia? I am happy for Juve, but I feel sorry for Lazio and for my friend Tudor, who came close to doing it. I will see Igor again on Saturday: he will be at the Olimpico for the match against Verona».

"From Juve, on the other hand, you always expect more: the Coppa Italia è a trophy, but it doesn’t move the Bianconeri’s season. From Juve you expect them to at least fight for the Scudetto until the end. Instead, this year the race è ended in February, in the direct clash with Inter. Since that time I have seen too many matches not like Juve".

Chapter Vlahovic: "È a very good striker and he is only 24 years old. He showed quality between Fiorentina and Juve. Dusan canò become a top like Haaland. But I never like comparisons. And anyway, in Italy è it is more difficult to score than in England for a center forward. It was so è in my time and it è still is now. Forò… A striker always depends on the teammates he has behind him. Here, I was lucky: I would turn back and see Zidane, Jugovic, Deschamps, Conte… And next to me I had Del Piero or Vieri. Dusan, on the other hand, plays in a Juve moreù wait-and-see and with difficultyà to create play".

Closing remark on a recommended market hit: "Modric è God-kissed, è soccer: I would recommend him to any top club, even Juve. I don’t know if Luka will leave Real at maturity, where already this season he has acted as a spearhead for Bellingham and other youngsters, but I am convinced that he has two more years of high-level soccer in his legs. Modric alone would not be enough to catch up with Inter, who deservedly won the Scudetto, but he would lend a big hand".
