Co-top scorer in the history of the Canadian selection, Jonathan David recently received the compliments of Jesse Marsch, his coach in Canada.
Although having had a good run at the Copa América, or on the way to qualifying for the Gold Cup and the final phase of the CONCACAF Nations League, Canada is experiencing certain difficulties on the offensive level. The Canadian team has struggled to score goals since the arrival of Jesse Marsch, former coach of RB Salzburg (Austria), RB Leipzig (Germany) and Leeds United (England), at its head. The latter can fortunately rely on Jonathan David, always at the heart of the action. It's quite simple, the top scorer in LOSC history was directly involved, with four goals and three assists, on seven of the last nine goals scored by the Canucks.
Once again against Suriname, on November 16, he was found with a long lob in the right corner of the area by captain Stephen Eustaquio. Jonathan David then waited, patiently, then served Junior Hoilett who scored his sixteenth goal with Canada. Obviously, this caviar pushed Jesse Marsch to talk about the importance of his protégé, co-top scorer in the history of the Canadian men's selection (30 goals tied with Cyle Larin).
“He is the smartest player I have ever managedadmitted the technician at a press conference this Monday. His understanding of what's happening on the pitch, his way of moving appropriately to find the game, to help the team, I think he's playing at a very high level. The team knows that involving him in our game, and in our matches, is very important to us. We're trying to give him a little more flexibility so he can participate in other ways than just scoring goals. He's really important to our team, way beyond just scoring.”underlined Jesse Marsch. Jonathan David (24 years old) writes history, both for his club and his country.
