New coach of Juventus, Luciano Spalletti is trying to create a new dynamic. Seventh, the Turin club remains on a victory this Sunday against Cagliari (2-1). After the match, coach Luciano Spalletti spoke to DAZN about the poor form of his attackers. Indeed, Jonathan David has only scored one goal in twelve Serie A matches while Loïs Openda has not scored a single goal in ten championship matches. Two recruits with disappointing results that the Italian technician wanted to put under pressure while showing a little understanding on certain points.

We need a little more confidence to resolve certain problems. If we are too shy, others notice and point it out to us, because we don’t react. They are both advanced forwards, but Openda is more comfortable in space, while David is more inclined towards team play and, as such, could also perform well as a second striker. They are very sensitive players, and I am happy to support them, because it is clear that they need it. This is the moment when they should score two or three goals to regain confidence and play their game with more serenity. But in football you also have to prove yourself, so they have to succeed on their own “, he said.
