Luciano Spalletti claims USMNT star Weston McKennie ‘would be a perfect striker’ as Juventus boss points out glaring weakness in Jonathan David’s game

Despite the tactical critique, Spalletti admitted that as long as David continues to find the net, the team can function. The victory over Antonio Conte’s Napoli was vital, keeping Juventus within 10 points of the league leaders.

“If the team manages not to concede goals and David keeps scoring, like he is now, then we’ll still keep our heads above the water, we can breathe, and everything is perfect,” Spalletti concluded.

The 3-0 scoreline, glossed by late goals from Kenan Yildiz and Filip Kostic, suggested a comfortable evening, but Spalletti warned that the match was “always open” due to missed chances earlier in the game. With the win, Juventus have breathed new life into their campaign, even if their manager is still searching for tactical perfection in his forward line.
