""David is a strong player, and tonight he showed that he can hold his own in a duel in the box, where there's no space, so it has to be taken away from the opponent," he said. "If you put all your strength into those moments, it's fine; otherwise, you don't get there. He scored a goal as a proper striker."
""McKennie is a perfect central striker, one of the strongest as a centre-forward. He fights, he's strong in the air, and he's got an impressive leap. "He plays to get results because he makes decisions. He would be a perfect striker. "The match was always open because when you don't finish your chances and the result isn't safe, something unexpected can come from any episode.""
Jonathan David opened the scoring in Juventus' 3-0 Serie A win over Napoli with a fine near-post finish in the 22nd minute. Kenan Yildiz and Filip Kostic added goals at Allianz Stadium to complete a heavy defeat for Napoli and move Juventus within a point of the leaders. The result was Juventus' first three-goal-plus victory over Napoli since November 2013. David's goal brought him to four in 21 top-flight appearances since his summer move and marked consecutive home league goals for the first time since April 2024. The coach praised David's box duels and McKennie's aerial strength and decision-making, and indicated the club could still seek another forward in the transfer market.
