Juve in crisis over Vlahovic: Who’s to blame – him or Allegri?

Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic’s performance has been a topic of divide among Juventus fans.

There are concerns that Vlahovic may have lost the ‘killer instinct’ that was so evident in his time at Fiorentina.

The issue could be internal. Physical issues have been troubling the forward, and performance anxiety in having to search for goals is another problem. This, coupled with the penalty left to Chiesa at Marassi against Genoa, sends a clear signal of the tough time he’s experiencing, particularly his goal-getting capability.

In light of this, Bianconeri fans are questioning what the root of the problem may be: Is it Vlahovic himself or is it the coach, Allegri?

Whilst Allegri’s style of play may not highlight Vlahovic’s strengths, opportunities have been consistently presenting themselves. However, Vlahovic has recently been struggling to find the back of the net. This, in the long run, could weigh heavily, especially financially, given his gross salary of 55 million euros up until 2026, as reported by Tuttosport.

Juve’s fans, thus, continue to ponder on the reason behind Vlahovic’s recent struggle in scoring. Allegri’s gaming tactics or Vlahovic’s recent physical and mental struggles – both continue to be the points of contention amongst fans.
