"About Juventus Who Can Reduce Points, Vlahovic: We Will Not Be Damaged By Sanctions"

JAKARTA - Juventus have just been sanctioned with reducing points due to counterfeiting cases. However, Dusan Vlahovic thinks it is not something that will destroy his team.

The Old Lady was sentenced to a 15-point reduction in Serie A, that's because Massimiliano Allegri's team was caught involved in cases of counterfeiting value transfers and capital gains. The decision to reduce points then made Juventus, who originally had 37 points, now counted at 22 points.

This situation clearly made the Bianconeri slump from third to tenth. Vlahovic responded to this situation, but the team pillar believes the Bianconeri will not falter with this sanction.

This Serbian striker emphasized that Juventus was not surprised by the penalty for reducing points. Juventus, according to him, will soon rise from this difficult situation.

"We are not afraid that our points will decrease in the standings. We are not afraid to roll up our sleeves. We are not afraid of our opponents. We don't have to be afraid of anything," Vlahovic wrote on his Instagram account quoted on Sunday, January 22.

"Because when they think we have fallen, we will rise stronger than ever. This is us," he continued.

The sentence imposed on Juventus was in fact not just a matter of reducing points. But the club officials also received various kinds of punishments as a result of this case.

Those who were sanctioned included Andrea Agnelli, Fabio Paratici who is now in Tottenham Hotspur, Maurizio Arrivabene, and Pavel Nedved. Regarding this situation, Juventus did not remain silent and immediately appealed the sentence they received.
