Being the son of a former footballer is never easy. Even less that of a former world champion and one of the most capped players in the history of the France team. However, this is the weight that Marcus Thuram has carried since he was little. In an interview for La Gazzetta dello Sportthe Inter Milan center forward returned to the burden of being Lilian’s son.

Sometimes it was. My father had prepared me. “They will judge you by your last name, they will say that you are only here because you are my son.” It was not pleasant when I was a child to hear unkind words from the parents of the children I played with. I responded like this: “listen, if I score, it’s not because the opposing goalkeeper moves to let Lilian’s son score” », indicated the most decisive player in Serie A this season (12 goals and three assists).
