As Juventus' new player, Canadian forward Jonathan David attended today's new player press conference and talked about multiple topics.

What I feel as a Juventus player and why I chose to join Juventus

"I am very excited to be a member of Juventus, and my teammates have helped me a lot. I chose Juventus because I made up my mind after communicating with many players and joining such a long-standing club. The coach gave me a very positive impression. He asked about my expectations and clearly expressed his request: my job is to score goals, and he knows this."

About my goal efficiency in recent years

"I have always tried to maintain the stability of goals in the past few years. Serie A is a league that emphasizes tactics and defense. I have to work harder, but my goal is to score as many goals as I am in Ligue 1. The reason I chose Serie A is because Juventus has always been the club I dream of joining."

"My idol is Drogba, and Etoo. I believe that I can achieve great growth here, and Juventus is as ambitious as I am. . I'm ready to go all out and understand the club's expectations, but I won't be trapped by pressure. "

Regarding the jersey number at Juventus and the goal for the new season, I chose the jersey number 30 because it was my father's birthday and I want to commemorate him in this way. As for this season, we all know that Serie A is a very difficult league to play, but if we want to go further, we have to always maintain ambition, and this desire can never change. I have A strong ability to deal with pressure calmly, hoping to help the team. I am a very competitive player and love to score goals. "

About my position on the court

"We have started tactical training, and I am currently mainly playing in the center. Of course, the position I take in the end depends on the coach's arrangement. I don't think I have the guarantee of starting, nor do I expect to start every game. But I will train hard and try my best to get more opportunities to play as much as possible."
