Now he\u2019s been given a chance, so I hope that he gets more minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the other hand, more minutes and opportunities at Juventus means more pressure, which they will have to manage. His talent is undeniable, if he has enough opportunities to play and grow, he can reach very high levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Savicevic says that he worries for Adzic\u2019s development if he takes an extended period away from playing regular, senior football at his age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt all depends on how many opportunities he has to play,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I think back to the career I had, I never had a break before getting to Milan. From the age of 18, I was a starter and played 90% of the games for the clubs I played for. I only missed matches because of suspension or injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was consistent, and Vasilije, in the last year-and-a-half, has played a lot less.
