A year and a half after his arrival, Florian Thauvin is now like a fish in water at Udinese. After an unconvincing stint with his former teammate André-Pierre Gignac’s Tigres, the former OM player came to relaunch himself in the Italian Serie A. And this season, he has had a perfect start. Not only is his team the surprise leader after four games, but he is also the third-highest scorer in the championship, with three goals. But all this is not visible from France, and it saddens him.
On Wednesday, he responded to a post on Xabout the non-broadcasting of the Milan derby and Juventus-Naples this weekend, due to lack of agreement with a broadcaster in France. A response without words, but with an emoticon representing a small character putting his hand on his forehead. A way of expressing his disappointment with the situation that has continued since the beginning of the season.

In the meantime, Florian Thauvin is returning to his best level. He confirmed this on Monday at the microphone of DAZN. ” I imagined such a start to the season. I work every day to achieve this result. I want to get back to my level. Currently, I am at my best and I must continue in this direction. » It remains to be seen whether the Frenchman will be able to maintain the pace at which he started his season.

It will also be necessary to follow the performance curve of Udinese, rather accustomed in recent seasons to playing for survival rather than the top of the table. For the moment, the Italian club is doing what is necessary to distance itself from the red zone, before perhaps aiming higher. Florian Thauvin hopes so.
