Jonathan David continues to shine under the colors of LOSC. Co-top scorer in the championship with Mason Greenwood (11 goals), the Canadian striker has established himself as one of the most formidable players in Ligue 1. Complete, technical and an excellent finisher, he is the number one offensive element of the Mastiffs. However, during the last clash between OM and Lille at the Vélodrome in the championship, David was neutralized by a well-established Marseille defense and an imperial Gerónimo Rulli. This Tuesday, he will have the opportunity to take his revenge against a determined Marseille team. The absence of injured Edon Zhegrova puts even more pressure on Jonathan David’s shoulders. His teammate in the Canadian selection, Derek Cornelius knows his qualities well and mentioned this upcoming duel : “Jonathan David is someone I know very well. We spent a lot of time together, and I know he’s a very good player. But I know we’re a very good team. We We face very good teams, we have very good players too. So to stop a player like him, it’s not just the job of one player, but it’s the whole team that has to do it. has a great team, so we can’t wait to play this match. I think it’s going to be a great challenge, and we’ll be ready.”
Leonardo Balerdi was also wary at a press conference: “Yes, we know well the things we have to do in defense. We work on them a lot, we watch a lot of videos. But also, there are attackers like him who have incredible qualities. I think that he, With all the moves he makes and the way he moves around the field during games, he’s too smart. We’re going to do everything we can to make sure he doesn’t score.
However, David is currently going through a period of less success. His missed penalty against Auxerre (0-0) last weekend symbolizes this temporary brake. Free from any contract next June, he is now able to negotiate with other clubs, which pushed his coach Bruno Génésio to react after the draw at Abbé-Deschamps “I’m going to be clear: those who don’t want to play for LOSC, they have to say so. We need everyone 100%. The transfer window is a special time, but we must remain focused on our goals.”
