Weah has struggled for regular minutes in 2024, but of late, has found himself back in the mix for the Bianconeri. He's started two of the last three matches for Juventus, and came off the bench on Tuesday in the Coppa Italia semifinal to serve up the match-winning assist in a 20-minute cameo.
WHAT WEAH SAID
“It was a good game in a difficult moment for the team, but we must continue working well and staying concentrated for the next match,” Weah told DAZN. “I feel good, I am happy here and it is a great opportunity for me. I am improving every day. I like to attack, it’s a challenge this season to be in a more defensive role, it’s a new position, but I am getting better.”
As for playing against Milan, a club that his family holds near and dear, the American said: “It is always special to play against Milan, a team that means a lot to my family and my father. I am very happy.”
