Marcus Thuram continues his superb start to the season with Inter Milan, since he gave his team victory against Roma on Sunday in Serie A. Enough to further disturb Didier Deschamps, the coach of the Blues…
Four goals and five assists in 10 matches is now Marcus Thuram’s remarkable record at Inter Milan and no player has made such a debut with the Nerazzurri since the 2004-2005 season (or more precisely since ‘Opta counts assists).
The French international, 26, gave victory to the Lombard team when they hosted AS Roma on Sunday at San Siro, taking in a cross from the left from Federico Dimarco at the end of the match (81st). Enough to validate the domination of his team over that of José Mourinho (63% ball possession, 19 shots against only 3!).
Alongside Lautaro Martinez at the forefront of Simone Inzaghi’s 3-5-2, Thuram is one of the fittest attackers this season, being mobile, altruistic and therefore effective both in the final pass and in the finishing. Enough to give a little headache to Didier Deschamps, the coach of the Blues, who alternates between Randal Kolo Muani and Olivier Giroud at the forefront of the attack.
Versatile attacker, but rather center forward in his early days then left winger in Mönchengladbach, the eldest son of Lilian Thuram makes a credible candidate for the position of center forward of the France team, but he has never been used or almost in this role. Marcus Thuram still has the whole season to demonstrate his qualities as a central striker.
