Something has ‘The Iceman’ losing his habitual cool. “I just can’t wait for the World Cup,” he said. “I want it already.” David performed a fundamental function as Lille registered one of the most stunning league-title triumphs in modern history in 2020/21, and he followed it up with another fine season for Les Dogues. He was also instrumental in Canada conquering Concacaf’s Octagonal and reaching a first World Cup in 36 years. Toby Alderweireld, Duje Caleta-Car and Nayef Aguerd and the other defenders in the pool must prepare for a rapid, skilful player who is slippery to bodyguard.

Quote : “I want to help change the game of soccer for Canadians. The World Cup is an amazing opportunity for us to do that.”
