He replaced the black and white stripes on his jersey with green and black, asked for minutes in Italy and got them immediately at Sassuolo. And he immediately announced that coming to Emilia-Romagna would be the right move.
The challenges among the "neroverdi" could not have started better for Vasilije Adžić - the Montenegrin midfielder scored a goal in his first competitive match for Sassuolo.
The team led from the bench by Alberto Aquilani welcomed Cesena in the first round of the Italian Cup, winning 3:0, and our player scored the second goal in stoppage time of the first half.
Scottish national team player Josh Doig made a great run down the left side, crossed perfectly, and Adžić knocked the ball into the local rival's net with his left foot from 11 meters.
You can watch his first goal for the club he joined on loan from Juventus here. LINK.
"Adžić's show in the Italian Cup," is the headline of Turin's "Tutosport," a newspaper close to Juve.
"Tutomercato" gave our football a seven - a rating that was also given to Doig, Australia's best player at the recent World Cup, Christian Volpato, and Frenchman Armand Loriente.
"A match of pure talent from the Balkans - it seemed like he was in the shadows, and then suddenly he exploded. That was especially the case in the first half, when he practically took over the main role right at the end and scored a goal to make it 2:0," wrote the aforementioned portal.
The former midfielder of Buducnost played until the 72nd minute, and on Sunday he will make his debut for Sassuolo in Serie A - against Atalanta and another Montenegrin in the Apennines, Nikola Krstović.
The day before, another young Montenegrin had a big night in the Coppa Italia - Bodin Tomašević had a great debut for Mantova in an unforgettable victory against Lazio at the "Olimpic" (1:0).
