Timothy Weah was on Thursday presented to the Italian press for the first time at a press conference. The 23-year-old American, following his first days of training alongside his new teammates at the JTC, answered the questions of the journalists gathered at the Allianz Stadium, answering the very first question in Italian: "I am very happy to be here at Juve. It is a blessing for me and my family. Thank you all for this opportunity, I am very honoured to be Bianconero."
CHOOSING JUVE
"Choosing Juve was easy. When I learned that they were interested in me, I really wanted to come here to write my own story. I knew this was going to be a big challenge, but as a professional I want to work, learn, listen to everyone and push myself to my limits. I'm ready, my first days here were fantastic, I was welcomed wonderfully by the club."
HIS ROLE
"Last season I played as a winger and it comes very naturally to me, so I concentrated on this, trying to adapt to the defensive aspect as well. I'll play where it's needed. I listen a lot to the coach's advice. He's a great person as well as a great coach, I'm sure I'll be able to improve my game with him. He is very attentive to all the details, he told me to learn a lot from my teammates, to have fun and be ready to improve."
THE STORY BEHIND NUMBER 22
"It's my birthday and it's also the first number my mum gave me when I started. I have since promised that I would wear the 22 on every team where possible. And here I am with the number '22' shirt."
