LOSC risks losing a great phenomenon. At the end of his contract at the end of the season, Jonathan David is inexorably heading towards departure. Even if the possibility of an extension is not ruled out by Lille leaders, the trend is clearly for the Canadian striker to set sail next July.
A probable departure which will undoubtedly leave a big void at LOSC. Third top scorer in the history of Lille OSC, Jonathan David is the profile of players that all coaches would like to have in their team. And it's not Jesse Marsch who will say the opposite.
At a press conference this Monday, the Canadian coach painted a very complimentary portrait of Jonathan David, indicating that the latter is the most intelligent player he has had under his command.
“He is the smartest player I have ever managed. His understanding of what is happening on the pitch, his way of moving adequately to find the play, to help the team, I think he is evolving to a very high level. The team knows that involving him in our game, and in our matches, is very important for us. We try to give him a little more flexibility so that he can participate in other ways than just. by scoring goals It is really important for our team, well beyond the simple fact of scoring,” he confided in comments relayed by Le Petit Lillois.
A hell of a tribute paid by Jesse Marsch to Jonathan David, especially since the 51-year-old American technician has already had a certain Erling Haaland under his command. The club that manages to secure the services of Jonathan David will undoubtedly do a very, very good deal. Too bad for LOSC…
