Juventus hitman Dusan Vlahovic explains his philosophy of football in terms of an addiction. ‘I live to score goals, I feel empty if I don’t and when I do score, I’m flying.’
The striker was signed in January from Fiorentina for over €80m, completing the transfer on the day of his 22nd birthday.
He was the cover star for Icon magazine and spoke about his obsessive approach to the sport and his work when asked what it means to score a goal.
“It fills me, it completely pervades me. When I don’t feel that emotion, after a match I then feel empty, rock bottom. When I do score, it feels like I’m flying. I am soaring in Seventh Heaven.
“It’s like a kind of fuel and once you’ve tried it, you need to have more and more, you must at all costs experience that emotion again.
“It’s an addiction that stimulates you in every moment. It’s what I live for.”
Vlahovic does not simply switch off when he gets home at night either, as when asked what he does in his spare time, the response was inevitable.
“I dedicate myself to football 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When I get home, I watch football matches! I do it to enjoy myself, relax, but also to learn and improve myself. I take note of things and think what I could’ve done in that situation.”
The Serbia international scored 29 goals in 45 competitive games this season between Fiorentina and Juventus, including 24 in just 36 Serie A appearances.
He was forced to miss the Nations League games for Serbia due to a muscular problem, but assured he is working hard in training and will be ready for pre-season at Juventus next month.
Vlahovic nonetheless already has seven goals in 14 senior caps for Serbia under his belt.

Allegri: Oh do you? let’s see what I can do about that. We’re gonna need a bigger bus.
If Vlahovic is is addicted to scoring goals, then Juve must be rehab cos they helped him quit.
LOL
Dusan is not very intelligent and this one you have to tip your hat to Obi Wan Phd Max. He basically when to a small European club, either not know that Omicron 2.0 Slow specializes in the back, back, down, down or he was smoking crack. From a great potential striker, PhD Max will work on him like Mandzukic, but this time as a proper defender.
