Stojkovic, a regular in the Chinese Super League (CSL), was the leader of Guangzhou R&F, making him the longest serving manager of the same club in the history of the CSL. His teams are attacking, but are often criticized by fans for their shortcomings on the defensive side of the ball. As such, one of the big questions surrounding him has surfaced: why doesn't Vlahovic get more chances to play?
Vlahovic has been pressed to the bench for long periods of time and has had few chances to play. Meanwhile, star striker Mitrovic's performance was full of variables. He scored a goal, but missed two scoring chances and made a fatal mistake on the defensive end. Many fans began to call on Stojkovic to give Vlahovic more stage to show himself.
Now playing for Juventus in Serie A, 22-year-old Vlahovic has become the team's main striker. This season, he has scored 6 goals and 1 assist in 10 Serie A matches. It's worth noting that Vlahovic is Juve's top scorer. This can't help but make fans question Stojkovic's manning strategy for the crucial World Cup campaign.
