Weah Hitting His Stride

Winger Continues Impressive Season with Assist in Win Over Empoli

Tim Weah delivered another versatile performance on Sunday as Juventus secured a convincing 4-1 win against Empoli. The 24-year-old American continued to showcase his adaptability, playing as a full-back in the absence of Andrea Cambiaso and Juan Cabal.

"This win is important for us," Weah said after the match. "It was difficult to concede a goal after 4 minutes, but we reacted well. We have to continue like this." His comments reflected the team's resilience after a challenging midweek defeat to Benfica.

Weah's remarkable flexibility has been a hallmark of his season. Originally a winger, he has seamlessly transitioned through multiple positions, including center-forward and now full-back. His willingness to contribute wherever needed has been crucial to Juventus' success.

"I feel comfortable as a full-back," Weah explained. "If I can help the team, I want to do it. I can also be a goalkeeper if the coach asks me to." This team-first attitude has endeared him to both teammates and fans.

The victory was particularly significant for Juventus, which reached fifth place in Serie A with 37 points. For Weah, it represents continued progress after an underwhelming first season in Turin following his summer 2023 transfer from Lille.

Under coach Thiago Motta, Weah has become increasingly productive, demonstrating why he's considered one of the most exciting talents of his generation. His tactical versatility and commitment to the team have been key to Juventus' recent performances.

"We have to continue working together because we're a very young team," Weah noted. With his positive attitude and adaptable play, he's proving to be a crucial component of Juventus' rebuilding efforts.
