For Marcus Thuram a bouquet of orange tulips is ready. They symbolize talent, understanding and trust. With Ajax everything was seen: the ability to put two head shots, the feeling with Calhanoglu and the safety of the Nerazzurri fans, especially after a week of controversy because of that exchange of smiles with his brother after Adzic’s goal. “People interpret as they want, but they also know that I will give everything for Inter. The two goals? Thanks to ‘Calha’: he beat the corners well …”.

Thuram sublimated the cynicism with which Chivu filed the practice in his old home. The Nerazzurri exploited two corners from the right and leveraged Marcus’s tightening, reached 4 goals in the season. Last year he stopped three. Not bad for someone who had signed ten before Inter in the entire career. Since he dresses Nerazzurri, he has been at eight. A center forward built over time and with work, his and coaches, by Simone Inzaghi in Chivu. The Frenchman is already 5 goals in four games: two at Turin, one at Juve and two more to the boys with the symbol of Ajax, in the stadium in which his father played once in black and white: it was 2004, among the Dutch ranks there was John Heitinta, now a technician of the Ajax.

Lilian, what do you say?

Thuram’s great race is also in numbers: he won six out of eight aerial duels, played 34 balls, made three banks and only four steps wrong. The feeling with Esposito, to the debut as a starter in the Champions League: “All of Italy knows Pio – said Marcus at the end of the game -, he is a fantastic boy, like Lautaro and Bonny. The agreement was excellent. The most important thing is that Inter win, we had a serious game. Now head to Sunday”. The Nerazzurri will challenge Sassuolo. “We played an excellent game without taking goals, our goal was this. We had to take back after the defeat with Juve and we knew it. But other points are needed to go to the round of 16.” Last year Thuram closed the season in the Champions League with 4 goals in 14 games. Only one arrived in the first phase (Young Boys). Now it is already two. Growth can be seen from here. Every now and then his father feeds him because he says he has to improve. Tonight he showed him progress.
