Giroud-Thuram, the fiery duo

Behind the untenable Lautaro Martinez, the two attackers of the France team Olivier Giroud and Marcus Thuram are the two most decisive players in Serie A at mid-season.

We are far from Kylian MbappĂ©’s 18 goals in Ligue 1, but Olivier Giroud and Marcus Thuram are having a very good season in Serie A. If the Inter striker did not score in the victory against Lecce (2- 0), Saturday, which allows the Nerazzurri to regain a four-point lead at the top of the standings over Juventus, the veteran (37 years old) of AC Milan was the decisive passer, with a header, during the draw snatched from Salerno (2-2) on Friday.

Behind Lautaro Martinez, by far the best scorer in the campionato, with 15 goals (and 2 assists), Olivier Giroud (8 goals and 5 assists) and Marcus Thuram (7 goals and 6 assists) are the most decisive players in calcio after 17 days. Two French internationals in great shape six months before Euro 2024.

The Interists play their match of the 18th day next Friday on the Genoa field, while the Rossoneri, only third with eleven points behind the rival and leader, host Sassuolo the next day. Stefano Pioli is greatly in the hot seat.
