Weah at Juve, it’s official: contract until 2028. “My favorite role? Low exterior”

TURIN – “My father’s time at Milan is part of my family’s history, now I too have the opportunity to play in Serie A, for one of his favorite teams, which is Juventus. This also facilitated my choice”. With the official signing of Timothy Weah, who was taken from Lille for 12.4 million including bonuses and has signed a five-year contract, also came the first words in black and white from George’s son, a right winger capable of playing in all three positions in the wing. The son of a Milan hero who, however, supported Juventus, a condition that influenced the choice of the American: “I’m enthusiastic, honored and happy – he said in the interview with the Juventus thematic channel -. It’s a dream come true. It’s one of the best clubs in the world, I’m happy to be black and white. Everything about Juventus attracted me: the club, the history, the players, the coach and the staff. The trust everyone has placed in me, I feel at home here. The fans came to say hello before the visits, I can’t wait to get started.”

The affection of the fans and the goals

To understand which squad will be available to Allegri, it will first be necessary to understand if Juventus will play in the Conference League. Without this information, it’s normal not to be able to set goals, at least today: “We’re an excellent club, we have an excellent squad, we have excellent staff and lots of fantastic people who work behind the scenes. We just have to work, so we can do great things.” . Certainly Weah arrived in Turin to play as a starter given his tactical skills and flexibility: “I think my characteristics can be reconciled well with my teammates and with Italian football. I’m an intense footballer who loves running, making crosses and serve assists. I think I will get on well with my team-mates, I hope to help them score. Personally, I’m a hard worker, I hope the fans will appreciate it.”

Weah and favorite role

Arrived as a replacement for Cuadrado, a far from easy task given the impact the Colombian had in his eight years with Juventus, Weah is considered a full-back full-back: “My favorite role is a low-back, I think I’ll play in that position here “It’s new to me, but I like it a lot and I can’t wait. I’ve played as a striker and on the wing, I think this will help me a lot. I’m ready to play where the coach will put me.”
