Juventus Fans Make Peace with Vlahovic: Applause from the Stands Before Cagliari Match
Following recent tensions after Juventus’ disappointing draw against Venezia, fans have extended an olive branch to striker Dusan Vlahovic. The atmosphere changed dramatically before the Coppa Italia match against Cagliari, with supporters showing their renewed support for the Serbian forward.
The previous league match had ended in a goalless draw, leading to a heated exchange between a fan and Vlahovic. This incident, which is currently under investigation by local authorities, had caused significant controversy in the days following the match.
Reconciliation Between Vlahovic and Fans
Signs of reconciliation were evident before the Cagliari match. Fans displayed a banner outside the stadium reading: “An isolated incident doesn’t erase the past. You’ve always had our respect. Juventus, DV9, and ultras united until the end.” This gesture seemed to be a response to Vlahovic’s social media post, where he acknowledged fans’ disappointment but called for unity.
Warm Welcome from the Stands
The reconciliation moved from words to actions during the pre-match warm-up. As Vlahovic took to the field, he was greeted with applause from the curva (the section where the most passionate fans are located). This positive reception brought a smile to the face of the former Fiorentina player, signaling a fresh start in his relationship with Juventus supporters.
This show of unity comes at a crucial time for Juventus, as they look to put recent disappointments behind them and focus on their upcoming challenges in both domestic and international competitions.
