"I think those guys are chasing checks, and for me I just feel like they're really evil,"
"They've been players, and they know what it's like when you're getting bashed. Those are the same guys that'll turn around and shake your hand and try to be friendly with you at the end of the day. Don't get me wrong, I respect all of them. They were players I looked up to. "But quite frankly, the guys before us didn't win anything either. ... Christian himself has had a better career than every single one of the guys that speak negative on us.""
""[I] don't regret anything I said.""
""I'm fully focused on the positives now," Weah said. "I'm leaving all that negative energy out the window. I think right now it's important to kind of shift the focus to what we're doing as a group, and what this team is doing, and how we can execute performances and kin"
Timothy Weah said he does not regret calling former U.S. players "evil" for criticizing the current men's national team and stands by his comments. He told the Paramount+ docuseries "Pulisic" that some former players are "chasing checks" and that they know what criticism feels like but still speak negatively. Weah acknowledged respect for those players while noting they did not win anything and pointed to Christian Pulisic's stronger career. He confirmed he does not regret his remarks and said he is focused on positives ahead of friendlies against South Korea and Japan.
