Olympique de Marseille won (4-0) Friday against Lorient, at the opening of the 4th day of Ligue 1, by reassuring its supporters and observers. In this positive set, Timothy Weah, one of the Olympian recruits of the offseason, has not really shone, as is the case during its appearances since the start of the season.
In a post on X, Walid Achechour, the RMC analyst, did not chew his words after the meeting about the performance of the former Parisian, Lille and Turinois. “Always harm with Weah which except for 10 good minutes at the start of the match, led by the intensity of the stadium, gesticle for not much by making very little solo or connected with the others. »»
Clearly, the Marseille winger showed a little desire at first, but struggles to transform his energy into concrete and precise actions. Not decisive enough, not enough involved in the collective: Achechour does not hide his skepticism, while remaining careful before being final: “We will wait a bit, however, to have a real judgment. »»
An important development: Weah remains new in the team and evolves which is more on the left side, he who was more used to the right flank in his career.
There are alternatives to his post
George Weah's son is struggling to be regular and connected with his teammates. His role in the Marseille attack remains to be confirmed, and the next few weeks will be decisive to find out if he can impose himself for the long term. There are people on all OM positions this season and Roberto de Zerbi can perfectly review his copy from one match to another.
For Marseille, the essential remains acquired: three points and the rhythm preserved. For Timothy Weah, the lesson is clear: it must transform its energy into efficiency to convince staff and supporters. And the eyes will now be on his next outings. Normal for a player who will cost OM between bonuses between 14 and 19 million euros.
