Lilian Thuram likes to chamber his two sons, Marcus and Khephren. During the recent arrival of Igor Tudor on the bench of Juventus, he had not hesitated to send a message to his former teammate, inviting him to give him “A slap” if he “Do something bad.”
And the former world champion already spared obviously not his two sons when they were very young. This is evidenced by Marcus Thuram's confidences on the education of their father. But despite the treatments that his father could reserve for him, the Inter Milan striker welcomes this teaching.
“I am lucky to have this education”,
he said, convinced that it had forged his character: “My father also experienced this life, this pressure. From little, we were instilled in all this. Being very serene, very calm, do not let external things affect us. »»
“He put very strong psychological pressure from us”
And the world's vice-champion to continue by evoking the games with his father. “When we were small and played with dad, he put very strong psychological pressure on us. He was carrying us, he chamba, he was yelling at us. It's funny, I just thought about this thing, I never talked about that, I had never even thought about it, I just realized it ”he noted, specifying: “But the fact of doing this, it prepared us for everything we live now. »»
“For example, if I loupe an action, he made fun of me. Or if not, when I played against him, he was cheating, he was doing little things to destabilize and to make people understand that in the end, it's you and yourself. Everything that happens around, you should not pay attention to it ”he further added, specifying: “The most important thing is to focus on yourself. You know, these little things he was doing to us, it marked me. My foot was shaking, my heart was beating hard, I was little. »»
“My father changed to me, I had emotions, I panicked, there was a whole thing, he continued. The more he did that, the more we used to live with that. When you are little and your father makes you misery, yes, it works for you. This education means that today, Khéphren and I, when you enter the field, you are serene. »»
