In the dynamic world of football, every so often, a young talent emerges that captures the imagination of fans and experts alike.

One such prodigy is Vasilije Adzic, a 17-year-old sensation from Montenegro, who has set the football world abuzz with his remarkable skills and mature mindset.

In an exclusive interview with Coach Mladen Milinkovic, the man behind Adzic’s development, we delve into the intricacies of his journey and the impact he has had on Montenegrin football.

Adzic’s Impact on Montenegrin Football

Describing Adzic’s influence on Montenegrin football, Coach Milinkovic echoes the sentiments of Sporting Director Andrija Delibasic. “Adzo” is hailed as the most beautiful phenomenon in Montenegrin football over the last fifteen years, not just for his physical prowess but also for his mental fortitude.

Milinkovic emphasizes Adzic’s maturity, a trait that sets him apart from many of his peers who falter under the pressures of early success.

“At only 17 years old, he thinks like a 28-year-old,” Milinkovic proudly declares. This level of maturity, coupled with Adzic’s exceptional talent, has paved the way for a promising future.

Granting Freedom on the Field

Coach Milinkovic and Sporting Director Delibasic have taken a bold approach with Adzic, granting him more freedom on the field than usual. This decision, as Milinkovic explains, is a testament to Adzic’s extraordinary talent. While such liberties are rare for a teenager, Adzic’s abilities demand special treatment.

However, Milinkovic emphasizes that this privilege extends to Adzic and, at most, one more player. The rest of the team must adhere to tactical instructions, underlining the unique trust placed in the young midfielder.

“He has everything to become one of the greatest in the history of Montenegrin football,” Milinkovic asserts, highlighting the potential that Juventus, the reigning Serie A champions, saw in him. Adzic’s imminent move to Juventus signifies not just a significant investment but also the expectation of a bright future in the black and white jersey.

Comparisons and Standout Qualities

When asked about player comparisons, Milinkovic finds it challenging to pinpoint just one player. Adzic, he explains, possesses qualities from various football greats, making him a versatile and eclectic midfielder. The mix of Gerrard, De Bruyne, Bellingham, and the strategically important “Vlado” Jugovic draws a vivid picture of Adzic’s unique skill set.

Milinkovic goes on to highlight Adzic’s standout qualities on the field, including his panoramic vision and the ability to protect the ball masterfully. Standing tall at 185 centimeters, Adzic’s playing style reflects a rare combination of height, vision, and ball control that sets him apart in the midfield.

Balancing Talent and Discipline

No player is without weaknesses, and Coach Milinkovic candidly reveals Adzic’s most severe flaw – disobedience at the end of training. While teammates head for the showers, Adzic stays behind, honing his skills with free kicks, cut corners, and prolonged ball control. Milinkovic acknowledges the challenge of reining in Adzic’s unstoppable and undisciplined enthusiasm but sees it as a testament to his dedication to improvement.

Preparation for Juventus and Beyond

As Adzic prepares to join Juventus, he is already studying Italian, showcasing his commitment to integrating seamlessly into the new environment. Milinkovic emphasizes the significance of understanding the language to communicate effectively with teammates, coaches, and officials.

Looking ahead, Adzic dreams of donning the prestigious Juventus jersey worn by football legends. His goals extend beyond club success, with aspirations to debut in the National Team in 2024. Coach Milinkovic believes that Adzic, with Juventus by his side, is poised to compete for the coveted Golden Boy award in the coming years.
