Recently signed by Juventus, Timothy Weah has had conversations about the possibilities of playing as a wing-back for the Bianconeri. The American international appears prepared to go to a full-time wing-back position at Juventus after Juan Cuadrado left the team, despite his usual function as an offensive player who plays on the wing
Even if Federico Chiesa is not a fan of this formation, it is anticipated that Juventus will continue to use a three-at-the-back configuration with two wing-backs in the 2019 season under Max Allegri’s leadership. Weah is open to the notion of playing as a wing-back and has already been successful in that position during his time with the club, despite any potential restrictions on attacking freedom.
Weah is confident in his potential to succeed as a wing-back, despite his natural desire to have a bigger effect in the attacking third. He seems prepared and eager to take on the role and help Juventus’ defensive scheme and tactics in the forthcoming campaign.
According to Weah, as cited by Football Italia:
“Last season, I learned how to play the wing-back position, which was unfamiliar to me but comes naturally to me. I’ve worked harder and harder on it, especially for the defensive phase. I’m completely accessible to the team and will play in whatever position needed.

Weah seemed thrilled to be playing for us, therefore the American is one guy we should keep an eye on for the forthcoming campaign.
Every new player we bring in must perform well throughout the upcoming season, and it would be ideal if he acclimated to the Allianz Stadium quickly.
