Juventus Star Forward Explains Reasons Behind Red-Hot Form

Timothy Weah’s renaissance following an underwhelming first season at Juventus continued yesterday against Torino. The USMNT forward opened the scoring to set the tone for Bianconeri’s comfortable 2-0 home win in the latest edition of the famous Derby della Mole.

Weah joined Juventus from Lille in the summer of 2023. However, he experienced a stuttering start to life in Serie A. Misused by former manager Massimiliano Allegri, Weah only netted one goal last season. Allegri often played him as a wingback in his signature 3-5-2 set-up.

A formational change under Thiago Motta has turned the 24-year-old into a prolific marksman. Indeed, he has already quadrupled last season’s tally, even though it’s early November. With four goals from eight league appearances, Weah is the club’s second-best goalscorer behind Dusan Vlahovic.

Weah set Juventus up for a win against Torino with a first-half deadlock-breaker before Kenan Yildiz killed the game off in the 84th minute. The versatile forward addressed the media after the encounter.

Juventus have temporarily reduced the gap on table-topping Napoli to a single point. However, Motta’s men will take on Milan in a mouth-watering clash when Serie A returns to action after November’s international break.

“That is an important match not just for me, but for the history of my family. I hope to keep going like this because when we all play together, we are strong,” Weah touched on this upcoming blockbuster.
