David’s quiet, almost monotone personality off the pitch is part of his myth — Lille teammates joked that they only heard him speak when he scored, which was often. Juventus see him as a long-term striker after years of Vlahović volatility, and his ability to drift wide and combine with midfielders has fit Igor Tudor’s system better than expected. For Canada, he is the offensive identity: in Davies’s absence he becomes both the captain and the source of nearly every dangerous attacking moment, especially when paired with Tani Oluwaseyi or Cyle Larin in two-striker shapes.
Strengths
