Style of play
A quick, strong, talented, and technically gifted player that played with elegance and a perceived arrogance with his style of play, Vučinić was capable of both scoring and creating decisive goals for his team. He could fill any attacking position, but was often deployed as a
winger on either flank, as a
centre-forward, as a main
striker, or even as a
deep lying striker.
Vučinić drew praise in the media for his vision, footballing intelligence, team play, and short passing accuracy, which allowed him to create chances for teammates and also made him an effective
assist provider.
His positioning and intelligent offensive movement enabled him to provide depth for his team and create space for teammates; while his creativity,

Despite his talent, however, he also drew criticism throughout his career for his attitude and unpredictability on the pitch, as well as his inconsistency.
Vučinić's work-rate in big matches was also brought into question at times with critics pointing to his "lazy" playing style, which often frustrated fans.
