George Weah turns 50 today: ‘Sad for AC Milan, but Chinese money can help’
“I’ve had a tough life. When I was a child I had nothing to eat, but I don’t like to remember those times. Thanks god I’ve reached 50 year-old now and I want to serve my country and my fellow citizens. Our contry 169 year-old and nothing is easy here, not even the next year so I can’t really say that I will become the next president of Liberia.”
“I still watch sport on TV and I go to gym each morning at 8. Sometimes I watch AC Milan, but I have to say that they haven’t given me too much satisfaction. But Milan is Milan and I hope everything will go the right way now.”
“New Chinese owners can build a great team. That’s what PSG are doing too. One needs money in order to buy champions. I saw Marco Simone last year, he’s like a brother to me and I usually talk with my friend Umberto Gandini who is at Roma now.”
Weah’s son scored a brace in a Youth League game with PSG three days ago, making his dad really proud
“I am happy for Timothy, I can only thank god for the great player he’s becoming. I always pray, when I pray I have no fear, but my prayers are also a way to be thankful.”
