Former Juventus centre-forward Fernando Llorente has hailed the management of Dusan Vlahovic by coach Igor Tudor.
Vlahovic has kicked off the season impressively, despite his contract now running down at Juve.
Llorente told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "The contractual situation is the same, but Tudor is managing Vlahovic differently: he's fantastic with him.
"Dusan started in the Derby d'Italia, one of the most important matches: a sign of great confidence. The impression is that there's a connection between Tudor and Vlahovic.
"Trust me: if Dusan didn't feel he was treated equally to the others, he wouldn't come on with that spirit and he wouldn't score every time."
Llorente then spoke about the Juventus attack, which also saw the arrivals of Jonathan David and Lois Openda in the last transfer window: "I have a soft spot for Dusan, but last year I commentated on the Champions League for Prime Video, and," he concluded, "both David and Openda impressed me against Juventus.
"If the coach inspires confidence in everyone, competition is an advantage: in my Juve, we had 5-6 strikers."
