Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram recently spoke to the media ahead of the UEFA Champions League match against Arsenal. During the interview, he shared insights about his constant smile and highlighted the impact of his teammate, Nicolo Barella.
Impressive Start to the Season
Thuram began the season with remarkable performance, scoring three goals in his initial three Serie A matches under manager Cristian Chivu. He also secured a crucial double in Inter’s opening Champions League match against Arsenal.
Injury Setback
Despite his strong start, Thuram faced a significant setback due to a hamstring injury incurred during a 3-0 victory over Slavia Prague in September. This injury sidelined him until November. Since his return, he has netted only three goals across 11 matches in both the Champions League and Serie A.
Anticipation for the Match
Even with his recent struggles, coach Chivu is expected to feature Thuram alongside Lautaro Martinez in the match against Arsenal.
Philosophy and Team Spirit
When asked about the most important lesson football has taught him, Thuram emphasized teamwork: “Achieving any goal always requires a team.” He also shared that the best compliment he has received is being recognized as a good teammate who brings joy to the dressing room.
- Positive on-Field Vibe: Thuram attributes his constant smile to his love for the game.
- Incredible Energy: He admires Barella for his boundless energy, which inspires him daily.
- Self-Description: He describes himself using three words: happy, positive, and eager to work.
Thuram’s approach is rooted in passion and hard work, considering every match as an opportunity to improve. His joyful demeanor and teamwork philosophy make him a valuable asset to Inter Milan as they prepare to take on Arsenal.
