At Juventus he was 'bad', Jonathan David sets the historical record at Atletico: in Spain they warn Alvarez

His replacements at Juventus are struggling, but he has already made his mark on Atletico Madrid's history in two games. It's Jonathan David, who has become the first Spanish player in the 21st century to score in both of his first two La Liga games. Not bad, then, for the Canadian, who after finding the net against Real Sociedad, repeated it with Osasuna. Open applause for him, highly praised by the local press. And judging by the way he was received, with doubts about his recent past and physical condition, it can be said that David has received great pleasure.

David's great performance against Real Sociedad

Last night's match was the first that David started as a starter for Atletico. If he had only had a few minutes to leave his mark on the scoreboard against Real Sociedad, against Osasuna he became the protagonist. It seems that the striker we all knew from his time at Lille has returned, with the goal that gave the Colchoneros the lead and the assist to double the lead. 5 shots on goal, 10 dangerous actions and the feeling that he has integrated well into the formation of coach Diego Simeone. Is someone in Turin biting his hands already? It is too early to say, while in Spain someone is already celebrating.

Marca sends a message to Julian Alvarez

In Marca, the well-known Iberian sports newspaper, his performance was highly praised, also because the striker is proving to be a man of his word: when talking about his future and the purchase option for 25 million euros from Atletico, he actually declared: "The only thing I can do to make Atletico buy me is score goals". And to understand how strong the impact has been on Atletico Madrid, it is enough to think that the newspaper took the opportunity to send a message to Julian Álvarez, the star striker of the Spanish team, who is coming off a very complicated period after the disappointment of the missed transfer to Barcelona: "Either Julian wakes up after his return, or...". In short, according to Marca journalists, Jonathan David, who arrived precisely as an alternative to the Argentine and Sørloth, is rapidly climbing the ladder in the hierarchy of technician Simeone.

What an impact for the Canadian

David's impact on the colchonero world has gone far beyond simple numbers. On the evening of the Metropolitano, David was not satisfied with just scoring a goal, but displayed the repertoire of the modern striker: intelligent possession of the ball, with icy coolness in the 16-meter area. Very good is also the natural connection with teammates, which was never seen in Turin. A total performance that has transformed the initial skepticism of the Spanish fans into true enthusiasm, inevitably reopening the debate on the regrets of the black and white transfer market. In Turin, in fact, they are waiting for Kolo Muani or Woltemade to start scoring again.
