Quotes
"It's an important goal I scored, I congratulate Salernitana who played very well and only slowed down after the sending off," Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic said after his side's win over Salernitana.
"We never give up, then we see what happens game after game, there are many games left to play. I always give my all, the work pays off in the end but without the help of the coaching staff, my teammates, the club and the fans, nothing would have happened.
"I hope to score many more goals and I continue to work, day by day: I live in the present, dealing with the things I can change and have an impact on. We keep our feet on the ground, but scoring and celebrating with the fans is something truly indescribable. Many of them came, and in this weather, we can only thank them."
