Thierry Henry received a moving tribute from a French international.

Marcus Thuram had a successful first season at Inter Milan. After winning the Italian Super Cup against Naples (0-1) last January, the French striker and his teammates were crowned Italian champions after a victory in the Madonnina derby against AC Milan (1-2), this Monday.

For his part, the former Borussia Mönchengladbach player, who joined Milan last summer, has a very satisfactory record of 14 goals and 12 assists in 41 matches in all competitions. A success that he owes in part to an exceptional mentor, Thierry Henry.

“I talk more with him than with my dad”

Given this more than promising 2023-24 financial year, Marcus Thuram wanted to pay tribute to the former glory of the Blues, whom he considers his “uncle”.“I would like to thank Thierry Henry for all the advice he gave me”declared the 2022 world vice-champion.

And to add: “Sometimes I talk more to him than to my dad,” he added. He’s the best uncle I have… He’s always been there for me: in good times and bad. Today I would like to thank him. If I’m here, it’s thanks to him. » Gunners legend Henry is no doubt in a position to offer some sound advice, having played as a striker himself throughout his career.
