One of the matches that will be highlighted in the Champions League is the visit of Benfica to Turin, where they will face Juventus. However, even before the kick-off, the old lady, more specifically Igor Tudor, was criticized for the way he has been using Dusan Vlahovic, one of the team's forwards.
In his opinion column, published in Gazzetta dello Sport, the former helmsman of the bianconeri began by highlighting the Serbian striker, emphasizing his current status in the Italian team, one of the opponents of the Club da Luz: ""Vlahovic? He's a real forward, but Tudor keeps him on the bench".
According to Fabio Capello, he can't find an explanation for the decision that the Croatian coach has been making regarding Vlahovic: ""I can't understand why. I still believe in a player like him, because those who play instead of him are not better than Dusan".
Despite the player having some issues with the club's management in Turin, specifically regarding his contract, Capello emphasizes that he should not be penalized for it: ""I make a simple technical assessment. Then, there are problems with the club regarding the contract and salary".
To conclude, the coach gave an example from Sunday's match, where Juventus - whose women's team beat Benfica - played against Milan: ""As a coach, I would have had him play. Yesterday [Sunday, against Milan], he came on and made an interception with incredible intensity".
