The powers that be at the Allianz Stadium witnessed a sour moment for Canadian Nigerian connected striker Jonathan David as the home faithful voiced their displeasure during his substitution in a hard fought 1. 1 stalemate against Verona. The clinical forward, who has been a subject of intense transfer speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League, was withdrawn in the second half to a chorus of boos from the Juventus supporters. In the scheme of things, the reception was far from the warm embrace the former Lille man would have expected on his first start for the Old Lady. The Bianconeri faithful, known for their exacting standards, clearly expected a greater attacking return from the player who was brought in to ease the burden on the club's frontline. At the end of the day, David could not find the lion's share of chances falling his way, cutting a frustrated figure before being summoned to the bench. The Nigerian international now faces the task of winning over a notoriously demanding fanbase that expects nothing less than a formidable performance with every jersey donned. For the Super Eagles hopeful, this is a test of character that will require resilience and a thick skin as he navigates the white hot pressure of Serie A football.
