Ambitious Timothy Weah thrives at Marseille after return to what he calls the world’s best league | OneFootball

Timothy Weah has quickly become a mainstay at Marseille after a summer move following two seasons at Juventus, finding the clarity and minutes he sought under Roberto De Zerbi.

According to GetFootballNewsFrance.com, a call from De Zerbi convinced the USMNT forward, and after a hesitant August he established himself in the XI thanks to pace, intensity and versatility.

Used as right winger, wing-back or full-back depending on the game, he has given OM the vertical threat they often lacked without losing control.

His biggest moments have arrived on the grandest nights. A Champions League strike at the Santiago Bernabéu made him the first USMNT player to score there, with standout displays against Paris Saint-Germain, Newcastle, OGC Nice and Real Madrid.

Off the pitch he has embraced Ligue 1 with unusual conviction, calling it the best league with the most talent and a place that creates stars.

Goals and assists are modest, yet he ranks highly for progressive carries, shot-creating actions and defensive work among wide players, arriving in dangerous zones as a connector rather than a focal point. Fluent in four languages, he has steadied the dressing room and, for him, leaving Marseille without a title would be a failure.

He may not decide matches alone, but under De Zerbi his speed and adaptability often make them possible.
