The French changes the position, but so it risks losing centrality: the club wants it to return that of a year ago
The third act of this French saga, a feuilleton who features a talented son of art tending to indole, is truly the most unpredictable: never as in the coming season Marcus Thuram will be accompanied by doubts about his Nerazzurri stability, given the change of role at the gates, the crowding by top timetable in the piece of field behind Lautaro and the more general mood that accompanied him in recent times.
The descent
–
Not even when it was little more than Lilian’s son and the first Inter season began, the one who became exhilarating and ended sitting on the second star, there was this atmosphere around, a mixture of insecurity and amazement: in that 2023-24 the French, fresh from purchase from Borussia Monchengladbach, immediately took the center of the Inzaghi ecosystem naturally. The status next to the Thula was maintained with full merit in the past year, especially in the first part in which Marcus traveled almost to the average of a goal per game and seemed to have completed the genetic mutation, from a striker to maneuver to center forward who smells the blood in the area. Then, here are the New Year’s barrels and 2025 of the great Nerazzurri hopes: from that moment the bar has suddenly fallen down, together with the numbers, also due to trouble scattered on the ankle. Thuram has scored just 2 goals in 15 of A in the calendar year, moreover to medium -line teams such as Parma and Empoli, against 12 in the previous 18, with more illustrious victims such as Atalanta and Lazio. The only moments from Vera Marcus were European, with the brace in the home of Feyenoord, the heel stroke marked in Montjuic in the first leg and the ferocious tear that then led to Frattesi’s goal on the return, a goal celebrated as the liberation that then opened the waters towards Munich. In general, however, a trend in falling with the disastrous tail of the final against PSG and, above all, the American days spent in the Club World Cup: the FIFA tournament did not seem the first thought of French. Thuram’s task is now to change the scenario around it, to find the old colors in the picture, knowing well that the hierarchies in front of them risk becoming changing: it will also start in the front row because of the credits earned, but the arreated tip life could be more difficult than expected.
The alarm clock
–
His Inter is willing to put a big piece next to him – who arrives from Bergamo or not it matters little – and this is an important element: at least leaving, Lookman (or who for him) should play with Thuram to unleash the maximum power behind Lautaro, but the presence of another big one can be bulky for the French. And also the compatriot Bonny at the first against U23 was shrewd in the lands of Marcus. Without considering that on the trocar the options are wasted, starting from Davide Frattesi, held in greater consideration by Cristian Chivu to advance by a few meters. The deliveries from Mkhiharyan’s handyman, the elaborate Zalesski tactical weapon and also Calhanoglu to manage inside the nascent 3-4-2-1, should be added. At the moment, Thuram rekindled the car in Appiano and in the family walk was the only striker not to mark: nothing to worry about, normal summer labors, but the attitude will mark the path from now on. At Inter you don’t need much, as long as Marcus Riannodi the thread exactly where he broke.
