Vlahovic helps Juventus win, insists he will give his all whether he starts or not

With Vlahovic's goal, the "Old Lady" Juventus defeated Cagliari 1-0 in the focus match of the 26th round of the 2024/25 Serie A. Vlahovic said that whether he starts the game or not, he will do his best to help the team.

In the 12th minute of the game, Cagliari made a mistake. Vlahovic seized the ball, passed the opponent's goalkeeper and shot into the goal, helping Juventus take the lead 1-0.

The score remained unchanged, and Juventus finally beat Cagliari 1-0 away. After winning four games in a row, Juventus is currently ranked fourth in the standings with 49 points, 8 points behind Inter Milan, which is in first place.

Juventus striker Vlahovic said, "The most important thing is that the team won three points. I am very happy that I was able to score a goal, but winning is the most important thing."

The 25-year-old Vlahovic has contributed 9 goals for Juventus in Serie A so far this season. When asked about the competition for the starting position, Vlahovic said, "I am still very calm because I am a professional player and I am always ready for the team. This will not affect me. I know that whether I start or come on as a substitute, I must go all out because everyone has high expectations of me. This is my responsibility, and I have no problem."

"If we want to achieve our goal, we can't get into trouble like we did in the second half. We know that Cagliari performs well at home and will cause trouble for many opponents, but we should have seized more opportunities in the first half and secured the victory earlier. Although we shut out the opponent, Cagliari was still a big threat in the second half."

In addition, Juventus defender Gatti said, "This victory is extremely important, and this stadium is also difficult to deal with, so it is really crucial to get all three points. We need to control the game better, whether we are in difficult moments or have an advantage, we must handle it more maturely. In any case, winning is the most important thing."

"The competition in the league is very fierce. Our goal is to do our best. As for what results we can achieve in the end, we will see at the end of the season. Qualifying for the Champions League is an important goal, but the standings are very close and we have to keep working hard."

Gatti continued, "As a team we can't back down. The defeat against PSV was really heavy. We always wanted to advance, but everything must be a lesson. The key is to respond immediately and do our best in every next game."
