Thuram: ‘Lautaro is an extraordinary captain. Inter fans are incredible, I love playing for them…’

Lautaro is close to me, and he is an extraordinary captain. Dimarco’s goal against Frosinone intentional.

Marcus Thuram shared his thoughts with Inter’s YouTube channel, covering various topics and demonstrating his seamless integration into the Nerazzurri environment. “‘”The calmness with which I approach everything? I have a team that supports me, all my teammates help me – the striker explained. Then there’s Lautaro who is very close to me; he’s really an extraordinary captain. We try to do our best, but at the end football is just a game.’

‘The goal against Juve? We practiced that goal many, many times; Lauti’s movement behind the defenders is incredible. It’s always me who has to run; there’s no teammate faster than me – he added. It’s not that I’m not afraid of anything, but I have to try to score, assist, and challenge the opponents all at the same time.’

Continuing on the topic of goals, Thuram then reflected on the one he scored in the derby against Milan, drawing comparisons with Adriano’s against Udinese and also commented Dimarco’s long-range magic against Frosinone: ‘Adriano’s goal is a solo effort; the beauty of mine is in the shot – he explained. What would I steal from Adriano? His left-foot.’

What did they say about Dimarco’s goal in the locker room? That he intentionally aimed for the goal, knowing his qualities I have no doubts that was the truth – he continued. If you watch closely, you can see that he sees the goalkeeper outside the goal. Sometimes he even tries it in training.

Finally, some thoughts on San Siro and the enthusiasm of the Nerazzurri fans. ‘I love playing there from the first day; the fans are incredible. Every time there’s an action, you feel their support,’ Thuram concluded.”
