episode<\/a> of the Footy Prime podcast released Wednesday. \u201cJuventus is an interesting club, and the number nine position at Juventus comes with big pressure and big expectation, and so however you want to look at that experience over the last year, you can look at it, but Jonny will be better for it.<\/p>\n\u201cGoing to Atl\u00e9tico, Simeone is a coach who who gets all these incredibly talented players to really buy into the team system and to give to each other, and even when they were asking me about Jonny, I said: \u2018If you\u2019re looking for a guy that will give to Simeone, and give to the team and do whatever it takes to help the team win \u2014 and have the talent to do the things you need to do at the striker position \u2014 this is the guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simeone favours a defensive style of football, and needs his forwards to be good counter-attackers. David, who is deceptively quick and good at making instinctive movements off the ball to get into scoring positions, should be a good match if given more opportunity to thrive than he got under Luciano Spalletti at Juve.<\/p>\n
Simeone\u2019s two-striker system won\u2019t hurt his chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Johnny will fit in there well,\u201d Marsch added. \u201cThere\u2019s always an adaptation, everything from language to culture to league, but I think it\u2019s a big challenge for Jonny, an exciting challenge. For him, he probably needed something new where where he could commit himself fully and then find a way to be rewarded for it. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll fit in there well and I think he\u2019ll do well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It became increasingly clear that Jonathan David needed to get out of Juventus this summer, and he did…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[60868,17,12526,60869,6599,11434,31081,60870,116],"class_list":["post-193867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-atletico-madrid","tag-canada","tag-canmnt","tag-diego-simeone","tag-jesse-marsch","tag-jonathan-david","tag-juventus","tag-luciano-spalletti","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
