Oliver Platt

And if it's as difficult as it was in that first game again, and you're looking at a player getting substituted quite early in the second half again, then you're going to have a different conversation ahead of Switzerland.

But for now, I'd be shocked if he takes him out of the team.

Yeah, it's a good question.

I think I wonder the effect of that move to Juventus.

Clearly, you know, he's not been playing his best football there from a confidence point of view.

I think that's played a part.

I also wonder about the style a little bit in Serie A. You hear a lot of players go to Italy and they're shocked by the amount of training they do.

You know, they get fewer days off, longer training sessions, more running, more physical work.

Nowadays, I think in a lot of other leagues around the world,

particularly when you're playing midweek in European competitions.

Training sessions are

during the season, often quite limited.

It's really about rest and recovery and getting ready for the next game and doing what you need to prepare.

Italy still seems to kind of diverge from that a little bit, which, you know, you look at some of their team's records in European competitions, it's not very good.

And I think that maybe has something to do with it.

And I just wonder how that transition's gone for Jonathan David from playing in France to now playing in Italy and physically how he is at the end of a long season with the events.

It's even in the minutes where maybe

not what he's used to in terms of being rotated in and out of the team.

Just the everyday and the training sessions, I think, might have been a bit different.

That's just a theory that I have for a player who just looks like he's not quite himself, that he's a bit heavy in terms of his running.
