Inter superstar Marcus Thuram addressed the media after scoring in Friday’s comfortable 3-1 Serie A triumph against Parma. The defending Serie A champions ran riot at Giuseppe Meazza to further their case in an intense title race.
“Parma is a special club for my family because I was born there, so it is a bit odd playing against them,” the Inter talisman said, as reported by FCInterNews. “I think when I play in Parma, it’ll be even more emotional. I am happy to have played and scored today.“
Thuram ran off to Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi to celebrate his tenth Serie A goal this season. Inzaghi is on the verge of transforming the French star from a winger into one of Europe’s most prolific center-forwards. However, that’s still a work in progress.
“The coach worked with Ciro Immobile at Lazio, who scored a lot of goals like that. I often take that position, but I also just as often forget! I did it properly this time,” Thuram admitted. “I started this role at Inter and I am improving.
“But have a lot that still needs to be done better. I am trying to learn all I can from Lautaro Martinez and Marko Arnautovic.“
Fresh off extending their unbeaten streak in all competitions to 13 matches, Inter will resume their continental duties on Tuesday with a mouth-watering UEFA Champions League showdown against Bayer Leverkusen.
Thuram, who played in the Bundesliga with Borussia Monchengladbach for four years before joining Inter last season, shared his thoughts about the reigning German champions.
