Alban Lafont open-hearted about Dusan Vlahovic

“No wonder it’s at this level now.”

Now a goalkeeper at Nantes but a former partner of Dusan Vlahovic in the days of their common experience at Fiorentina (the French-citizen goalkeeper defended the purple goalposts in the 2018-19 season, the Serbian center forward’s first in Italy), Alban Lafont spoke about Juve’s striker and more in the press conference on the eve of the Europa League return match between the yellow-greens and the Bianconeri.

“I know Dusan when I was at Fiorentina, but he was still not playing so much. He is a boy who was already showing his talent back then, who worked so hard in training. I am not surprised that he is now at this level,” he began.

“They are favored, they are more used to this kind of competition. They are a great team and will come serene, we will have to manage the match and play well,” the goalkeeper concluded about the possible outcome of the qualification.
