No goals in two starts and three appearances. Here is Marcus Thuram’s unflattering record with the France team during the recent group stage of the Nations League. The eldest son of Lilian Thuram has still not established himself as a potential starter under the orders of Didier Deschamps. Of course, the attacker plays in a different system in selection, but that in no way justifies his discreet performances in EDF. Especially since he played in a 3-man attack during the last match against Italy, at San Siro, with Christopher Nkunku and Randal Kolo Muani.
In this same Giuseppe-Meazza stadium, Thuram has obviously been on fire with Inter since his arrival in 2023. The former Guingamp player again made the difference for the Nerazzurri, Monday evening when Como came, for a 2-0 victory. The full-back Carlos Augusto opened the scoring at the start of the second half, on a serve from Hakan Calhanoglu (48th), before a second goal signed Marcus Thuram in added time, with a violent strike under the bar of the opposing goalkeeper, the quadra Pepe Reina (92nd).
Deschamps has the best striker in Serie A
Alongside Lautaro Martinez who is still as essential but less successful, Marcus Thuram is not only the top scorer and the most decisive player in Serie A with Mateo Retegui (the two players have 12 goals and three assists), but he is also the best player in the transalpine championship on the stats sites WhoScored And
Sofascore (each time behind Ademola Lookman). Enough to push Deschamps to trust the 27-year-old all-terrain striker next March during the Nations League quarter-final against Croatia?
In the Serie A standings, Inter is still third behind Atalanta (three points) and Napoli (two lengths). The reigning Italian champion, however, has one game less on the clock (the one stopped at Fiorentina). The 18th day is scheduled for this weekend: the Bergamo team plays the clash of the day against Lazio, the 4th, while the Partenopei and the Interistas each face a play-off, respectively Venezia and Cagliari.
