At dad’s house. Or, better said, in the one that was for a long time and now is no longer. And then in the role of dad, the same, the same, the one in which he grew up and became one of the most appreciated footballers in Serie A and in the world. Timothy Weah he will play at San Siro, at the Meazza, at the home of his father George’s Milan. In a role that is in some ways unprecedented, as today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport in a long focus on the former Lille.
The son of art will not only be a protagonist at San Siro against Milan, but he could play at the center of the attack like his father did. Same position, but different tasks. George was one of the best examples of a true center forward. Timothy, after the experiments during the current match and yesterday’s family test against the Juventus Under 17 team, is a candidate as the “false 9” in place of the injured Dusan Vlahovic. Point of movement in Thiago Motta’s “spatial” Lady, where the roles are fluid and the search for spaces is a reason for living
If Weah Jr is ready to live an evening as a protagonist at his father’s “house”, it is not for the past, but for the present. Timothy came out transformed
from the injury that slowed him down at the start of the season. Another comparison to the shy winger of his first year in Turin. Thanks to Thiago Motta, who crossed paths with the American during his time at PSG and brought him back to his original role: that of striker. Outside tip or ‘false 9’. And as a ‘false 9’, therefore, he should return to play at San Siro, in his father George’s old stadium.
