Jonathan David finally saw the pressure drop. Having been in difficulty for several weeks, the Canadian striker found a real breath of fresh air by scoring Juventus’ second goal against Pafos, just before leaving the field. A key achievement, both for the team and for himself, after a period he himself described as « difficile » according to Tuttosport. On the action, launched by Yildiz after a high recovery from Conceição, David showed total composure. But this time, behind the coldness of the finisher, there was above all an immense relief. His exit was marked by a strong hug from Spalletti and applause from the stadium, a sign of newfound confidence.
This goal could represent a real turning point for the Canadian, while Juventus is going through a delicate phase and must deal with the prolonged absence of Dušan Vlahović. Against Naples, the Bianconeri showed their limits without a center forward capable of weighing on the defense. By finally unlocking his counter in C1, David sends a strong signal: he is ready to assume the role of offensive reference that Spalletti needs. So far, the former Ligue 1 serial scorer has scored three goals with the Old Lady in all competitions.
