Thuram, zero goals. With Fiorentina to unlock

The French forward looking for his first goal for the Nerazzurri. The fans and Inzaghi ask him to be more concrete so as not to weigh down the departures of Lukaku and Dzeko

Andrea Ramazzotti

– MILAN

He hasn’t scored yet. And this is the only fly in the ointment of Marcus Thuram’s adventure with the Inter shirt. Maybe it’s not just a “neo” given that the striker’s job is to score, but since Inzaghi and his men scored 6 points in the first two days of the championship, the coach can afford to wait with serenity for the French is unlocked. “Personal satisfactions will also come for Marcus…” Simone said after the blitz in Cagliari, a match in which Thuram served the (delicious) assist to make it 1-0 to Dumfries, he had a hand in Lautaro’s double and in general he offered a great performance. Even without beating the opposing goalkeeper…

NOW THE PURPLE

In the 2-0 win against Monza Thuram came out to the applause of the San Siro: he moved back to participate in the action, talked to his teammates and created spaces for their insertions. For 67 minutes he did a lot of good things, but he didn’t manage to attack the heart of the opponent’s area angrily. At Unipol Domus was instrumental in the actions of the two Nerazzurri goals and this time Inzaghi gave him ten minutes more than in the first “play”. On both occasions, after the final whistle, Marcus celebrated the victory together with the rest of the team, but this afternoon he also hopes to be able to smile for his first goal in Serie A. We are only on matchday three, but the fast is beginning to weigh him. Also because his personal goal is to exceed 13, his personal record in the league set last season with the Borussia Mönchengladbach shirt.

UNDISPUTED OWNER

Without Lukaku’s about-face, Thuram would have started his first Inter season as a reserve and, behind LuLa’s back, he could have grown calmly. Metabolize Inzaghi’s football without too much pressure. As is happening to Frattesi, whose playing time is reduced by the undisputed ownership of the midfielders Barella and Mkhitaryan. When Big Rom turned his back on Inter, flirting with Juventus and being promptly dismissed by the Viale della Liberazione management, the son of the great Lilian was promoted to partner of Toro. The hierarchies would perhaps have been different in the event of a landing at Pinetina di Taremi or Scamacca, while with Arnautovic at the moment the Frenchman’s place in the eleven base is not in question. Even if there is that zero in the goals scored box that Thuram jr wants to erase as quickly as possible. Maybe as early as this afternoon. Because he too knows that the ghosts of Lukaku and Dzeko can only be chased away with goals.
