Who is the most efficient goalscorer currently in Italy? If you haven’t been watching closely, you might take a guess and say Paulo Dybala, Dusan Vlahovic, Ciro Immobile or Romelu Lukaku. Maybe Lautaro Martinez? No, it’s Luka Jovic, the boy who was one of Real Madrid’s worst incoming transfers in the past decade. However, this man still knows how to put the ball in the back of the net.Luka Jović vs Cagliari ☄️ pic.twitter.com/y3t76Rti7J— Luka Jović (@TeamJovic) January 2, 2024 The story of Jovic is one of a fascinating comeback, closely linked with the support of his family and his relentless perseverance. His recent achievements appear to be perfectly timed, as if destined by the goddess of justice, Dike, signifying a significant turning point in his professional life.Distinct phases resembling different lives marked the Serbian striker’s journey with AC Milan. His initial spell was lacklustre until a match against Frosinone, where he sparked to life with a goal and an assist after a dormant four-month period. Since then, Jovic has been unstoppable, delivering crucial blows to opponents like Atalanta and Salernitana, culminating in a pivotal brace against Cagliari that propelled Milan into the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.##NAJAVA_MECA_7775482##Jovic’s emergence as Milan’s unexpected saviour is a testament to his relentless work ethic, instilled by his father, who consistently emphasized the value of hard work. His recent goal-scoring exploits – five goals in seven games – reflect a newfound confidence and determination, much to the delight of coach Stefano Pioli.Pioli commends Jovic’s progression, highlighting his improved physical and mental condition since arriving to the red-and-black club. The striker’s ambitions are reminiscent of his humble beginnings, where he once slept under the stars near the Red Star Belgrade sports centre in Serbia, guided by his father’s wisdom to fight until the end.Despite expressing discontent during his time at Fiorentina, Jovic is now experiencing a prime phase in his career. His previous triumph in winning the German DFB-Pokal with Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2017/18 season serves as a testament to his capabilities, painting a picture of a player who has overcome adversities and is now making a significant impact on Milan’s journey to success.History made!
