Dusan Vlahovic, the Serbian national team striker, began his press conference for his country’s match once morest Switzerland, saying that he felt sorry, denying the allegations that claimed that the reason for the lack of game minutes in the 2022 World Cup was due to his entering into a sexual relationship with the wife of fellow goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic.
The Juventus striker started all Serbia’s matches on the bench, participated for 24 minutes once morest Brazil, and the coach did not push him once morest Cameroon.
The Serbian striker’s absence from his country’s matches raised doubts, and Serbian media reported that not relying on him in the World Cup was due to his entering into a fine relationship with the wife of fellow reserve goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic, but the striker denied these allegations.
Speaking during the press conference before the Switzerland match, Vlahović said: I am sorry that I had to start the press conference in the World Cup in this way, but I have to talk regarding it because my name is being thrown.
He added: There is no need to comment on something so silly, it is clear that these people are bored and have nothing better to do, because they are frustrated or angry, but it is clear that their job at the present time is to work once morest the national interest of the team.
And the “22-year-old” continued: “We are more united than ever and the atmosphere in the team has never been better than before. These stories are absurd. I just want to protect my name and integrity, so I will take legal action if necessary.”
He continued: This is not the first time that this has happened, I was hoping that people would support the team before this important match, but instead we are forced to talk regarding things that have nothing to do with the meeting.
Vlahovic responded to the circulating news: These are people whose CV is empty and they have achieved nothing, but they certainly get extra attention from my name. They were young people and they prove it day following day.
Serbia’s reserve goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic married Ana Kakic in August 2018 following a long relationship, and they have two children.
Despite scoring 6 goals from 10 Italian League matches, Vlahovic was on the bench in the two Serbia matches, and Fulham striker Alexander Mitrovic was preferred over him.
