Juventus forward Dušan Vlahovic has spoken about his celebration after scoring twice in a 3-0 win over Genoa in Serie A on Saturday.
The Serbian striker has scored just twice in his first five games of the season, coming in a 3-0 win at Verona in August, and has come under heavy criticism in recent times, particularly in the previous game against Napoli, where he was substituted at half-time.
However, in the game where Luigi Ferraris celebrated his goal, Vlahovic made a hand gesture to his critics, saying: “The most important thing is that we won and now we hope to maintain this standard.”
“It’s not a problem at all. People say it. I learned that you are great when you score and you are terrible when you don’t. I will say it on the pitch.”
“It happens when you have more chances in some games ยูฟ่าเบท. I know people expect a lot from me and I don’t run away from that. I gave 200 per cent and I don’t want to have any regrets whether it’s good or bad.”
“It doesn’t matter if I score or not, what’s important is that the team wins.”
The 24-year-old took his tally up to four goals in six Serie A games, so has Vlahovic set a target of how many goals he wants to reach this season for Juventus?
“I don’t set limits for myself, I take it one game at a time and once again reiterate the important thing is that the team wins.”
Francisco Conceicao sealed the 3-0 scoreline late on when a Koopmeiners dummy let the Khephren Thuram pass through, his first goal for the club.
“The whole team has been really helpful, I am very happy with my first goal and want to continue like this,” said the Portuguese talent.
