Following Juventus’ impressive 4-0 triumph over Cagliari in the Coppa Italia, strikers Dusan Vlahovic and Nico Gonzalez shared their thoughts on the team’s performance and its potential impact on their season.

The match at Allianz Stadium saw a marked improvement in atmosphere compared to recent league fixtures. Juventus, who had drawn their last four Serie A matches, including a disappointing 2-2 result against bottom-placed Venezia, delivered a commanding performance to secure their place in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.

Vlahovic, speaking to media after the game, expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and the support from the fans. “We’re delighted with the win and the fantastic turnout tonight. The fans backed us throughout the entire match,” he stated.

The Serbian forward also addressed the recent tension with some ultras, noting that relations had improved prior to kick-off. “I’m very pleased to be part of one of Europe’s biggest clubs with such a massive fanbase. While I regret the incident from Saturday, it’s crucial that we move forward united,” Vlahovic emphasized.

When asked about Juventus’ prospects of catching up to Serie A leaders, Vlahovic remained cautious but optimistic. “Every victory boosts our confidence, but we need to approach each game individually,” he said.

Nico Gonzalez, who scored a spectacular goal after a two-month injury layoff, shared his perspective on the team’s progress. “This positive result is significant. I believe today’s performance represents the direction we aim to continue,” Gonzalez remarked. He added, “My primary focus was on regaining fitness, supporting the team, and maintaining a positive attitude. I want to bring joy and spread that feeling throughout the club.”

Juventus will face Empoli in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals as they continue their defense of the trophy won under Max Allegri’s guidance last season. The convincing win against Cagliari has injected renewed optimism into the squad, potentially serving as a turning point in their campaign.
