Bremer: We Must Hold on to This Matter, and Vlahovic is a Great Player
The Brazilian Gleison Bremer, Juventus defender, expressed his admiration for the team's mentality after the remarkable comeback against Borussia Dortmund (4-4) in the opening of the Champions League, but he warned against repeating the many defensive mistakes.
Juventus experienced an exciting week, as after their victory (4-3) over Inter in Serie A last Saturday, they came back from being down (4-2) against Dortmund to score two late goals through Dusan Vlahovic and Lloyd Kelly in stoppage time.
Bremer told Sky Sport Italia: "We must hold on to this strong mentality, but we cannot continue to concede all these goals. We have conceded seven goals in just two matches."
He added: "We finished the first half with a goalless draw, then came a very chaotic second half. We need to be more balanced. Fatigue is natural, but we cannot keep making these defensive mistakes. We were lucky to equalize in the end."
Regarding Vlahovic and his impact: "Vlahovic is a great player. We know he helps the team every time he plays. He has proven to be a game-changer whether he starts or comes off the bench."
This comes amid the controversy surrounding Vlahovic's future, as he was close to leaving this summer with his contract nearing its end, but he has become one of the team's standout stars this season thanks to his crucial goals.
