Timothy Weah, a rematch twelve months later. His arrival had created some bad mood

Focus TMW

A year ago Timothy Weah was a mysterious object. Or rather, he had lost his place because Massimiliano Allegri preferred, from time to time, both Andrea Cambiaso and Weston McKennie. Among other things, in a position he had never played in, that is, full-back. If Weah is capable of playing both on the right and left, both as a full-back and as a winger, he had never occupied the role of fifth with both offensive and defensive duties. On paper he shouldn’t have had too many problems, but he lost clarity in the offensive phase and was forced to sprint for 60-70 metres.

Instead with Thiago Motta he found his dimension. He has already scored four goals – many of them decisive to bring points to the farm – often as a consummate striker. After all, Weah had also often played as a second striker at Lille, while as a centre-forward, in place of Dusan Vlahovic, he was deployed more as an emergency than as a tactical choice. It was Giovanni Manna who purchased it, when Cristiano Giuntoli had not yet arrived (also causing some bad mood). More than twelve months later he took his revenge.
