Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti praised United States midfielder Weston McKennie as a "perfect central striker" following a 3-0 win over Napoli. The victory, which saw Jonathan David score his third goal in four games, keeps Juventus in fifth place, chasing the top four in Serie A.

Spalletti's tactical shift is notable given McKennie's usual role as a box-to-box midfielder. The coach highlighted McKennie's aerial strength and decisive play. Meanwhile, Canada international David is finding his form after a drought, a boost for both Juventus and his national team ahead of the upcoming World Cup.

The result gave Spalletti a win over former club Napoli, managed by Antonio Conte. For Juventus, the three points are vital in a tight race for Champions League qualification. With key players like McKennie and David contributing, their push for a top-four finish remains firmly on track.
