Cristiano Bergodi, the coach of U Clujpublicly conveyed that he is betting on the attacking appetite of his striker Jovo Lukic, the goalscorer of the season in Ligue 1, explaining what the Bosnian's target must be.
Jovo Lukic, 27, is having an exceptional season. Dropped by Craiova University and arrived at U Cluj, the Bosnian is the Superliga's top scorer, with 18 goals. Bonus: Lukic has also returned to the national team, with which he just qualified for the World Championship, after leaving Italy at home.
What Cristiano Bergodi said about Jovo Lukic: “I would be focused on doing something wonderful this end of the season”
Cristiano Bergodi, 61 years old, has faith in the top scorer of the championship. He gave him some advice, publicly. And he hopes that Lukic will continue the series of goals with Dinamo, tomorrow, from 21:00, in the capital.
“It's natural that he has offers, he scored 18 goals so far. I'm happy with him. Probably, others also saw an important player in him. He has what it takes to make a beautiful career. Score 6-7 more goals at U Cluj and maybe he will be chosen in Bosnia's team for the World Cup in America.
That must be his motivation. It is not for everyone to go to a World Cup with a country that does not have such a great tradition at that level. He must give everything for U Cluj, now.
He stood out, it's normal that various clubs want him. I, if I were him, would be focused on doing something wonderful this end of the season, and football can reward him. To play, to score goals, will be good. I see him as a clean, honest boy, with his feet on the ground,” said Cristiano Bergodi before the match with Dinamo.
