Juventus top Nedved was interviewed by reporters a few days ago, saying that Juve signed Vlahović and Zakaria in January, which is a signal released by the team to the outside world, and the powerful Juventus is back.
Nedved said: "The signing of Vlahovic and Zakaria is a signal from the club and we hope to get back to where we should be as soon as possible. This season, we are satisfied with the results of the Champions League and the Coppa Italia. But in Serie A, we want to improve our competitiveness and strive for higher rankings. ”
"The change in the squad with Vlahović and Zakaria is obvious. Vlahovic is currently the best striker in Serie A, he has scored many goals in Fiorentina, he is only 21 years old, he still has a lot of room to improve and his future is limitless. Zakaria can play anywhere in midfield, even at centre-back, and he can find his place in two backs or three midfields. We are very pleased with both transactions. ”
Indeed, the addition of Vlahović and Zakaria immediately boosted Juve's strength. In Juve's 2-0 win over Verona, Vlahović and Zakaria both scored. In the Coppa Italia match against Sassuolo, Vlahović created a oolong ball in the 88th minute with his own strength. His addition was a good way to fill the gap that Cristiano Ronaldo left, solving Juve's goal-scoring ability.
