UPDATE: In a critical statement just released, Stevan Jovetić advises Vasilije Adžić to leave Juventus on loan to showcase his talents. This urgent recommendation comes just ahead of Juventus’ Champions League match against Pafos on December 9, 2025.
Jovetić, speaking to Italian media, emphasized that Adžić deserves more playing time. “Vasilije is a good player with the right mindset,” he stated, highlighting the young player’s hard work and potential. “In my opinion, he deserves to play more,” Jovetić added, pointing to Adžić’s capabilities demonstrated at his club and national team.
Adžić has started only twice this season, reflecting a growing concern about his development. Following a substitution at halftime during a recent match against Bodø/Glimt, he has been sidelined for three consecutive games. Jovetić strongly criticized this treatment, stating, “You can’t bench a player for a mistake when he has also helped the team win crucial matches, like against Inter.”
“Instead of being punished for errors, he should be given opportunities to grow. I advised him to speak with Juventus and evaluate his situation,” said Jovetić, echoing sentiments shared by fellow players Dejan Savićević and Mirko Vučinić.
Jovetić reinforced his belief that a loan move in January would benefit Adžić, suggesting that a mid-table club could provide him with the playing time necessary to develop his skills and confidence. “He’s under immense pressure at Juventus, where opportunities come every couple of months,” he explained. “He needs to relax, enjoy the game, and prove his quality through consistent play.”
As a former player for Fiorentina and Inter, Jovetić knows the challenges of high-stakes football. He recently remarked that Adžić’s playing style reminds him of Frank Lampard, highlighting the young player’s physical strength and impressive shooting ability. “Vasilije just needs to play,” he reiterated.
Looking ahead to the clash against Pafos, Jovetić warned that the Cypriot team is formidable. “Pafos is a strong team with an ambitious management that seeks top talent. Their coach, Juan Carlos Carcedo, demands high performance,” he noted, pointing out the quick and quality players in their squad, including David Luiz and Mislav Orsić.
As the football world turns its eyes to the upcoming Champions League match, the spotlight remains on Vasilije Adžić and his future at Juventus. Will he heed Jovetić’s advice and seek a loan to continue his development? Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely.
