Only six balls touched in his 45' against Napoli

Juventus drew, again, 0-0. Another goalless match after those with Empoli and Roma. Under indictment, once again, Vlahovic. The Serbian è was evanescent against Napoli: only six balls touched in 45' of play. Substituted at halftime (in his place Weah), he played another anonymous match.

In this difficult start to the season, the Serbian striker scored only two goals, among others in only one game (against Hellas Verona, one on a penalty kick). Otherwise, several wasted goal chances and many difficulties to make himself useful. The commitment is not in question, the results, however, are rather meager. Now also substitution after only one half of play.

Thiago Motta, however, continues to defend him and believe in him: "Were you not satisfied with Vlahovic? Yes, I was satisfied. The only 6 touches? It è not only his task, but others must also feed it", the words of the Juventus coach in the post-Naples press conference.

Many are asking the same question: can Vlahovic è be the striker of this Juventus? The Serbian è in his second worst start to a season of his career in Italy. Actually, è è the entire attack that, at least in the last few league outings, is struggling. Thiago Motta is tasked with finding offensive solutions. The defense è perfect, the attack just can not be concrete, Vlahovic in primis.
