Dalmat on Thuram, Diouf and the race for the Scudetto

Speaking to TMW, on the occasion of the match between Italy and France, Dalmat spoke about some of the Nerazzurri protagonists and the title race in Serie A.

Regarding Diouf‘s performance, he said he was anything but surprised: “For me it’s not a surprise, I said it when he signed for Inter that he could make a name for himself. I have to admit that the way he interprets the new role has surprised me, he does it well. The problem now is that there’s Spence on the right who is starting to do well and who cost a lot. The difference between me and Diouf is that it’s easier to get into the National Team today: in my time it was impossible, too many great players.”

The situation is different for Thuram, who does not enjoy the same consideration in France as he does in Italy. “People don’t see what he does at Inter. Even when he had playing time in the National Team, he wasn’t the Thuram of Inter. That’s why, even though Zidane had called him up before the injury, I don’t know if he’s still the future of France: he’ll have to prove it.”

In closing, Dalmat expressed his opinion on the title race. For him, the most credible contenders remain the two teams from the Capital: “Lazio and Roma scare me and have shown they can compete until the end. I also keep an eye on Milan, even if I don’t really believe in the Rossoneri. The most important thing is that in the end Inter wins.”
