In the early morning of April 17, Beijing time, Serie A giants Juventus played against Bologna at home. Vlahovic scored a stoppage-time header that gave Juve a point. According to OPTA statistics, this goal is also the 50th Serie A goal scored by Vlahovic. At the age of 22 years and 78 days, he became the second youngest foreign player to score 50 goals in Serie A.
Juventus ushered in great changes in the summer window last year. Allegri replaced Pirlo as Juventus coach, and the team’s striker thigh Cristiano Ronaldo left. Since the summer window was nearing the end of Ronaldo’s departure, Juventus could only rent Keane for emergency relief. However, the young Italian striker could not fill the vacancy after Ronaldo left, and the scoring efficiency was relatively low.
Juventus’ performance has also experienced a huge decline. The first four rounds of Serie A have not been won in the first four rounds of the season. After half a season, Juventus only ranked seventh in Serie A, and the number of goals ranked only 11th in Serie A. The weak offensive ability made Juventus executives have to act in advance. The team spent a lot of money in the winter window to introduce Fiorentina striker Vlahovic.
After joining Juventus, the young striker quickly conquered fans and teammates, and he proved the vision of Juventus’ executives with one goal after another. In the last round of the game against Cagliari, Vlahovic scored a go-ahead goal at the end of the game to help Juventus beat their opponents 2-1 to get three points. In this round of the match against Bologna, Vlahovic once again became the savior of Juventus.
Juventus was 0-1 behind in the score. Although the Bianconeri attacked their opponents many times, they always missed the goal. In the 5th minute of stoppage time, Juventus got a left corner kick. The corner kick went to the right side of the penalty area. Rabiot gave the ball to Morata on the left side of the penalty area. The latter’s barb shot and the ball went straight to the goal. Before, Vlahovic jumped high and headed the ball into the goal. This goal prevented Juventus from losing at home and also brought Juventus a precious 1 point. It should be pointed out that Juventus is currently at a critical stage in its fourth-place competition. Although they failed to win, this point is still precious.
Two consecutive games to become the savior of Juventus, Vlahovic has thoroughly proved himself. And this goal has a special meaning for him. Statistics show that this is also the 50th goal scored by Vlahovic in Serie A. He also became the second youngest foreign player in history to unlock 50 goals in Serie A at 22 years and 78 days, second only to Pato (April 10, 2011). The age when he scored 50 goals in Serie A was 21 years and 220 days). In addition, this goal is also Vlahovic’s 23rd goal scored in Serie A this season, and he is currently second only behind Immobile who scored 24 goals in Serie A.
