Vlahovic: Juventus must ‘look at ourselves in the mirror’ but ‘never say never’ about future | OneFootball

Dusan Vlahovic thanks Igor Tudor and insists Juventus must ‘look at ourselves in the mirror, talk less and do more’ after a 3-1 win over Udinese.

Juventus beat Udinese 3-1 on Wednesday, ending an eight-game winless streak that cost Tudor the job.

Vlahovic scored his fifth goal this season by converting a penalty kick in the first half. The focus of today’s post-match press conference, however, was almost entirely on recent results and Tudor’s dismissal.

“We’ve changed three coaches in one and a half years. We need to look at ourselves in the mirror and see what we are doing wrong,” Vlahovic told reporters, via Ilbianconero.com.

“I don’t think it’s right to only blame one person. The responsibility lies with everyone.

“Today we needed to send a signal and we did, but if we don’t keep doing it in the next matches, it means nothing. We need to talk less and do more,” he continued.

“I want to take this opportunity to thank coach Tudor for what he’s done, for what he represents for Juventus, and to wish him the best of luck.”

Vlahovic’s contract with Juventus expires at the end of the season, and even if he’s unlikely to extend with the Old Lady, the striker kept a door open for his stay in Turin.

“I don’t know what might happen, never say never, but I really don’t know,” he said.

“I’m focused on the present. Talking about it now doesn’t make sense given the situation we’re in. We need to talk less and do more; we need to get back to performing better and winning. That’s where my focus is.

“It’s been a tough few days, but we stayed focused,” Vlahovic added.

“After the Lazio match, we thought about what we needed to do tonight. We’re happy with the win, but have to keep going like this.”

Nicolò Zaniolo scored the equaliser for Udinese right before the break today, but Juventus reacted strongly in the second half.

“It’s part of the game. It’s hard to keep intensity high for 90 minutes, but we have to try,” Vlahovic concluded.

“In the second half, we came out with aggression and earned a win against a tough team.”

NextGen coach Massimo Brambilla served as Juventus’ interim coach against Udinese, but the Serie A giants are now expected to appoint Luciano Spalletti as their new coach.
