Timothy V essentially left Paris Saint-Germain because they were very successful.
The American men’s national team attacker spent five years at the Park des Princes, reaching the first team through the capital club’s academy.
However, once he got there, he found it difficult for a few minutes to arrive at a club attacking megastars like Neymar, Kian Mbappé and Angel Di Maria.
And so, at the age of 19, Vee swapped PSG’s dazzle and glamor for more modest goals at Lily. He took a step backwards to take his career forward and now that bold step is getting late.
Indeed, as it turns out, Veah’s hopes of lifting the Lig 1 trophy did not really end when he left Paris.
With only two games left of the current campaign, Lille is fully prepared to deny PSG the eighth title in nine seasons.
Christophe Galtier’s side are three points clear at the top of the table, meaning that only four points from their final two matches will be enough to seal the deal.
Lily will face 11th-ranked Saint-ेनtienne at home this weekend before visiting 12th-ranked Angers on the final day. PSG, meanwhile, is hosting the 13th-placed Rims in their final match before rapping against the 14th-ranked Brest.
In short, Lily’s fate is in her hands.
It will be a surprise success for Les Dogs, but also an individual win for a player. Who is 17th in Goal’s 2019 NxGn list But the past few years have been hampered by injuries.
The American originally joined Lily before the 2019-20 season, refreshing a loan spell with Celtic. He signed a five-year agreement with the club, which had finished second at the time, 16 points behind the Wah club, PSG.
Injuries, however, defined his first season with the club. He missed six months after suffering a hamstring injury against Amiens before suffering another in his first game against Marseille. In total, Weah made just three appearances during his first season at Stade Pierre-Mauroi.
This time, however, Weah has created a more regular role for himself, primarily as an influence option. He has featured 28 times for Lille in Lig 1 this season, with 21 of them coming off the bench.
However, four of his seven starts have been since March, as Lily suffered the most important part of his season.
He has also contributed to the goals; Three of them to be specific in Ligue 1. Weah scored twice in a span of seven days in December as Lille defeated Dijon and Montpelier before adding their third goal against Bordeaux in February.
You can also add two goals from Lille’s run through the Europa League, a contest that they will not return to next season as they set their sights on the Champions League run.
However, Veah’s resurgence is one of many endearing success stories in Lily.
Jonathan David is Weh’s fellow CONCACAF standout, Canada’s best ever export, not named Alphonso Davis, and Portuguese star Renato Sanches, who has ruled his career after being flopped at Bayern Munich.
Burak Yilmaz has contributed 17 goals after years of scoring independently in the Turkish Super Lig, while Premier League veteran Jose Fonte is always behind.
“I think it’s a big group of young people who have a lot to prove,” Weah said in February. “We are all very hungry.
“I really want to talk about Renato” [Sanches] Too. He was having a hard time at Bayern, he wanted to start again, he came here and look at the success so far!
“He is having a great time here. Everyone is having a great time and as a group, we are feeling great. And everyone is just hungry to keep going.”
He said: “You know football. You never know what is going to happen, but with this group of players and this coaching staff, our goal was to be at the top and we are right there at the moment. So, we are happy with it and want to continue what we are doing. “
If they do so, they will claim what would be Lily’s fourth Ligue 1 crown, and their only second crown since 1954. After making three appearances during PSG’s 2017, he will also try his hand at the trophy for the second time in his fledgling career – a win of 18 titles.
Unexpectedly, Weah has many fond memories of his time in Paris and is close to many members of the current team.
“It was really amazing: I didn’t expect Neymar to be such a good man when I came into the team,” Weh said Orange Slice Podcast . “I thought he would have an ego and all that extra stuff, but he’s a super-honest guy, a good friend. I’ve seen him in New York a couple of times, so we hang around there.
“Levin Kurzawa is a good close friend on the team. I still see him when I go to New York. We link up and just vibe. There are many good people in that team.”
However, the focus is now on denying his friends the fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title.
Weh and Lille’s emerging youth and formidable giants have a golden opportunity to get PSG out of a carefully crafted space.
