Michele Padovano promotes Juventus market and spurs Dusan Vlahovic

The European cups are restarting and more than 500 matches will be broadcast live on Sky. The calendar was presented in Milan. Michele Padovano, former bomber of Juventus, where he played from 1995 to 1997, and numerous other Italian and foreign teams, was there. For him also a presence in the national team. Sportal.it interviewed him exclusively.

Do you like Juventus’ new attack? And in your opinion was it the right choice to end the controversy with Vlahovic and confirm him in bianconero?

This is just the beauty of soccer: players who seemed out of the project until 15-20 days ago, today can become crucial. In my opinion, Juve has worked very well in the market. It has taken very good players. I am very curious to see Zhegrova at work, because in my opinion she is a really interesting profile. The only doubt is about her physical state, since she has not played since December, but as quality there is little question.

Do we still have strikers “à la Padovano”? Or a la Massaro, for that matter. The ones who may not start as starters, but come in and still hurt?

.

Yes, absolutely. There are still serious, professional guys who are ready when called upon. It is clear that today’s soccer is different than when we played, but it is still a beautiful game. I am convinced that the professionals are there, you just have to put them in the right conditions to do well.

Is there a player you see yourself in today?

No, I never liked to make comparisons, even when I played. Every footballer, like every person, is unique. There may be similarities, but I believe that each person must maintain his or her own identity. Each one is unique.

You left an important mark at Juve, though. Even today, just say “Padovano” and the fans remember decisive goals…

It can only please me. I am really honored by that. Today, whenever I attend an event or present my book (“Between Champions and Freedom,” ed.), the affection of Juventus fans is extraordinary. To hear that they still remember me is a huge satisfaction. It is an honor, really.
