This season's Serie A is a two-man battle for Milan, but the former league hegemon Juventus has also reached a critical juncture, that is, to retain the fourth place in the league. Due to the sluggish performance of the team in the first half of the schedule, it only ranked 7th in the standings, and after the start of the second half of the schedule, Juve rose to catch up and is now firmly in the 4th place in the league, 6 points ahead of the 5th place. Serbian international Vlahović, who has joined Juventus, has been instrumental in this process.
Last summer Juventus sent off the main scorer Ronaldo, and the veteran allegri returned to coach the team. Due to the hasty departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus loaned Italian striker Keane from Paris Saint-Germain to save the emergency, but the scorer who performed well in Paris Saint-Germain came to Juventus with extremely low efficiency and could not take on the team's goal responsibility, so Juventus's results at the beginning of the season dropped significantly.
The first four league rounds did not win a single game, and at the end of half a season, the former Serie A hegemon only finished 7th in the league, including only 11th of the 20 teams in Serie A. In an effort to improve the team's attacking ability, Juventus took Serbian international Vlahović from Fiorentina in the winter transfer window. Vlahović lived up to expectations after joining Juventus, saving the team many times and helping the team to victory.
In the 32nd round of Serie A, Juventus challenged the middle and lower team Cagliari away, and Juventus scored two goals in a row after falling behind 0:1, and it was Vlahovic who helped the team score the counter-goal. In the 33rd round of Serie A, Juventus played Bologna at home, and Juventus drew 1-1. In this game, Juventus also fell behind the opponent first, and then Vlahovic helped Juventus score the equaliser, giving Juventus a point.
Vlahović scored in two consecutive games to help Juventus maintain their points advantage over Roma. Since joining Juventus, Vlahović has scored seven goals, while Dybala, the most goalscoring, has scored 13. Vlahović, with his superb shooting skills, helped Juventus win one game after another, and was arguably Juventus' savior, especially with Bologna scoring a point.
The goal gave Juventus a point and was Vlahovic's 23rd goal in Serie A this season and his 50th in Serie A. Vlahovic is currently second in the Serie A top scorer list behind Immobile with 24 goals. Scoring 50 goals in Serie A, Vlahovic is 22 years and 78 days old, making him the second youngest foreign player in Serie A history to unlock 50 goals in Serie A.
The first young foreign player in Serie A history to unlock 50 goals in Serie A is Pato, who scored his 50th goal at the age of 21 and 220 days. Juventus only spent 80 million euros to buy Vlahović, and in just half a season Vlahovic has already proved himself, Juventus's 80 million euros cost great value for money. The 22-year-old Vlahović is on the rise, and the future or the opportunity to compete with Mbappe and Haaland for the Ballon d'Or is unknown.
