Vlahovic sets up Italian Cup semi with old team Fiorentina

By Aman Shukla

Dusan Vlahovic set up an Italian Cup semi-last with his former team Fiorentina after his wildly deflected shot got Juventus a 2-1 victory over Sassuolo on Thursday.

Vlahovic signed for Juve from the Viola late last month and has been decisive in both his first two games, opening the scoring against Verona on Sunday and smashing a 88th-minute shot against Ruan Tressoldi and past Sassuolo’s veteran goalkeeper Gianluca Pegolo. He will get a hostile welcome from his former fans in the Florence leg of the semi-last in the wake of becoming the latest player to abandon Fiorentina for Juventus after Federico Chiesa and Federico Bernardeschi.

The only thing I am thinking about is the match and winning, anything else is of little interest to me,” Vlahovic told Mediaset.

“It will be a game just like any other, we’re here to play football and that’s not a problem for me.”
