Author of a magnificent goal in the derby against AC Milan (5-1), Marcus Thuram has had a very good start to the season with Inter Milan. To the point of applying for a starting place with the Blues?
It’s the kind of goal that stands out. While Inter inflicted a slap on AC Milan (5-1) in the Madonnina derby, Marcus Thuram scored the best goal of the match, a shot into the top corner after coming in on his right foot. It won’t take much more to make the Frenchman one of the new darlings of the Nerazzurri fans.
“The clamor from San Siro after the 2-0 was a pleasant sound and afterwards my teammates also came to hug me, enjoyed Thuram with the Gazzetta dello Sport. Playing in this stadium is exceptional and the fans are incredible. It was a truly beautiful afternoon. When I signed for Inter, I was happy because they had waited for me after my injury in 2021: I hoped to integrate quickly, but above all, I was happy because I arrived in the one of the best clubs in Europe and I was very happy to play with these teammates. Now I’m enjoying this moment. »
“Lukaku who? »
Arriving free this summer, Thuram now has two goals and two assists in four days. Inter have signed four convincing successes, are making a start to the season on the heels of winning the Scudetto, and the French striker is not for nothing. “Lukaku who? We’re not there yet, but… almost. Marcus Thuram erased in four days the memory of the Belgian and his summer turnaround »observes the Gazzetta.
The former Sochaux and Guingamp player has indeed taken Lukaku’s place in the eleven, and forms a very promising attacking duo with Lautaro Martinez. “I get along very well with him because he understands the game. He is one of the best in the world and I learn a lot from him”explains Thuram.
With such a start to the season, Thuram, scorer a week ago against Ireland (2-0), is clearly applying for a starting place up front with the Blues. Didier Deschamps wants to turn the page on Olivier Giroud, and Randal Kolo Muani, who must digest his transfer to PSG, is not yet giving all the guarantees. This gem from Thuram in the derby, against Giroud (and Mike Maignan, incidentally), is a strong message for the Blues coach.
