Thuram drags Inter: header goal and a message to Zidane

Ten Inter players have found the net this season, confirming that dependence on a single striker is not currently an issue. This is highlighted by the Gazzetta dello Sport, which points out how the Nerazzurri team has a wide range of scoring resources, even in the absence of Lautaro Martinez.

At the center of this picture is Thuram, increasingly a key element of Inter’s attack. Yesterday he started the comeback with a goal, continuing to build a statistic that sets him apart in the European scene: no player has scored more headed goals since the start of last season in Serie A, with six headed goals — the same number as Pellegrino. Moreover, together with Yamal, he is the only player in the top five leagues in Europe to have scored at least 10 goals and provided at least 5 assists since last April.

The ability to make an impact with headers has become, according to the Gazzetta, a real trademark of Tikus, able to turn every leap into a concrete opportunity. The offensive burden of the team increasingly rests on his shoulders, and his performances are starting to have an impact even on the French national team front.

Zidane is reportedly receiving more than a few messages. Thuram’s return to the national team — at least that seems to be the intention — appears to be a goal the player is pursuing also through his performances on the field with Inter.
