For some time now, Inter fans have been reporting a psychophysical condition far from the brilliance of Marcus Thuram‘s best days. It is still unclear whether the problem is mainly physical or mental, but the reality is that for weeks now his performances in the Nerazzurri shirt have been below standard. The good news in recent hours comes—yes, indeed—from the international break: Thuram, in fact, has fully reclaimed the spotlight with his France jersey.

In the friendly against Colombia, which ended 1-3 for the French, the Inter number 9 made a strong return to the scoresheet, recording a goal and an assist. He spent 78 minutes on the pitch before making way for Kylian Mbappé, during which Thuram scored the temporary 0-2 and provided the assist for the 0-3 scored by Désiré Doué. A solid and complete performance, which it is hoped will help him regain self-confidence and consistency.

The hope is that this good performance can open the door to a high-level end of the season with Inter as well.
