“Abedi is a strong player, he’s a creative player but Jay Jay is more skillful. Even me, Jay Jay has more techniques than me,” said Weah.
“All the things that Jay Jay does on the field, we don’t even do one percent of it.
“So Jay Jay is a legend when it comes to that; he is very creative, he is very smart and he knows how to do tricks.
"For me I don’t do tricks, I will score a good goal and when I am squeezed up, I know how to run around. But to put the ball on the ground and play with it, I give it to Jay Jay; he is an entertainer,” adds the 50-year-old.
