Canada’s own Jonathan David previews Juventus vs. Inter clash with Fubo 

Ahead of Saturday’s Derby d’Italia between Juventus and Inter, Ottawa-raised striker Jonathan David sat down for an exclusive interview with Footy Culture (a digital platform covering global football culture), in partnership with Fubo, the leading sports-first live tv streaming platform and exclusive home of Serie A in Canada. He shared candid thoughts on the rivalry, his journey, and what it takes to win on the biggest stage.

A few highlights from the interview are:

  • On being the first Canadian at Juventus: “Growing up I never thought about playing for the biggest clubs — the dream was just to turn pro. After one good season, you start to believe maybe something bigger can happen.”
  • Derby d’Italia mindset (match hook): “In a game like this, it’s about finding that little bit more — more aggression, more running. The team that wants it more, that’s what makes the difference.”
  • Canadian pride / earning respect: “South Americans and Europeans are ‘known’ for football… as a Canadian you have to work more and show more.”
  • On Drake & ‘Iceman’ nickname: “Obviously I’m a fan of Drake — he’s still one of the best artists in the world. But I think I was the first Iceman.”
  • On Canada as home: “Canada for me is home. Whenever I can, I go back to spend time with family and friends. It’s always close to my heart.”
