### TIMOTHY WEAH: ‘HAPPY TO HAVE A COACH LIKE ROBERTO DE ZERBI’
**Why did you choose OM?**
There were other clubs, but as soon as they called me, there was only one club. For me, it's perfect. There's competition. We know the stadium and the fans.
**What's your favourite position?**
I don't have a favourite position when I arrive at a new club. The coach sees me as a utility player. All I want is to win.
**Your father's legacy**
As he played here, it was a dream for me to play for OM. For him, playing here was a dream, it was incredible. There's pressure everywhere, in every job. I hope to have a great season with my teammates.
**Well-known players in the dressing room**
Angel Gomes is my best friend in football, that played a part. We had a great time in Lille with him. I hope to experience great things.
**His relationship with his father**
My agent called me to tell me about OM's interest. My father told me about the club and the passion. I'm lucky to be here. In a career, few players have the chance to play for a big club. In my head, I was already here, I said to myself, ‘Go for it, go for it.’
**His time in Italy**
It was incredible, I was lucky to play for a big club like Juventus. I grew up there, I gained experience. I'm happy to be here, playing with my teammates. I want to push a little harder.
**A discussion about playing time and competition**
Our conversations are private. I'm a competitor. Murillo is an excellent player, as is Greenwood. I'm here to show that I can play in any position and support the team.
**A transfer that took time**
I wasn't training with the team in the last few days because I knew it was going to happen. I'm mentally strong, I'm a professional.
**His physical condition**
I won't be playing in the next friendly match. I need to take some time to work with my teammates. Then I'll be 100% ready. I'll be at the match to see how the team plays and to see the fans. I can't wait to get there.
**The national team**
I have high goals. The World Cup is coming up and it's at home. We have to work hard to be in shape for the World Cup. I hope to play in my second World Cup.
**The Orange Vélodrome**
I played there during Covid. There were no fans. They are really behind the club. I'm going to try to give 100%. Thank you to the fans for the welcome. I'm happy to be here. Now it's time for the match.
**Areas for improvement**
I can work on everything. I want to improve my game, my passing, in front of goal. Italy did me good, I played with great players in a very tough, very tactical league. I'm happy to have a coach like Roberto De Zerbi, he gives his all, he gives a lot of confidence. I'm happy to be here, to have this level of expectation.
**The rumour about Edon Zhegrova**
I'll help with that, but I don't think it's necessary. The management is strong, they speak from the heart. When they talk to him, they'll speak from the heart.
**Adrien Rabiot**
He's my brother. We played together at Paris and at Juve. He was young, he's older now. Thanks to him, this is my home. I have my brothers here, a coach and a management team who believe in me, fans who welcomed me with open arms... What more could I ask for?
**Goals**
We all want to score goals and provide assists. Everyone's goal is to win something. I'm 25 years old, I have eight years left to win titles. I hope we'll work well together. We'll talk about that at the end of the season.
**The welcome from the fans**
It was very emotional. It was special. I've never been welcomed like that at a club before. I've had a lot of difficult moments in my career, but an arrival like that is special. I want to hear that at the Orange Vélodrome. We'll have to score and win.
