Marcus Thuram is having a blast at Inter Milan. For his second season in Serie A, the 27-year-old striker had already stood out by scoring a double against Genoa on the first day, before doing it again against Atalanta two weeks later. Mute during the last six matches, the ex-Guingamp player nevertheless regained his glory on Saturday by scoring a superb hat-trick during the Nerazzurri’s victory against Torino (3-2), a success allowing them to move up to second place and two points behind the Neapolitan leader.
Established alongside Lautaro Martinez at the forefront of the attack, the Frenchman first scored a powerful header to open the scoring at the start of the match, before scoring twice with an uncrossed header to make the break. And at the hour mark, when Torino had returned to 2-1, he volleyed the ball home, after a first save from the goalkeeper on a strike from Lautaro. A few moments later, Marcus Thuram left the field to the applause of his audience (69th).
Marcus Thuram worked a lot
Grimacing, the French international was hit during inappropriate contact by Guillermo Maripan on his right ankle, leading to the expulsion of the Turin defender (20th) and the concern of his coach, Simone Inzaghi: “He took a blow to the tendon, he complained a little at the end of the first half. He then asked to be replaced, and that’s worrying for a player who scored three goals. Our doctors and those of the French team will carry out examinations.he explained, even if Marcus Thuram was more reassuring and notably preferred to retain his second hat-trick in his professional career.
“I have a little pain in my ankle, it has turned a little. Now I’m going to do the tests. But after a victory and the three points, you leave with the lightest head in the national team (…) I thought about working a lot in front of goal from the summer holidays. People expect a striker to score. My number one goal is to help the team, I don’t want to forget what I can do for my teammates. If the goals arrive, so much the better.. Didier Deschamps will hope to be able to count on him, especially in the absence of Kylian Mbappé.
