Marcus Thuram is without a doubt the symbol of this very early season for Inter. Out of the 8 total goals scored by the Nerazzurri so far, the French forward has scored 4, also winning a penalty against Lecce and causing Djimsiti’s own goal against Atalanta.
Today’s issue of La Gazzetta dello Sport focuses on the real transformation that the current Serie A top scorer is undergoing, now capable of scoring goals “out of nothing” like the two against Atalanta.
The Inter number 9 returned early from vacation at Inzaghi’s request, but also to shake off the disappointment of a lackluster European Championship. The work at Appiano Gentile has evidently paid off, as the tailored training sessions were designed to transform a player who until recently played as an offensive winger in the Bundesliga into a center forward.
The newspaper provides some statistics that depict Thuram’s current moment. Marcus has already made 30 touches in the opponent’s box, compared to 22 a year ago (25% more), with 11 shots (compared to 8 in the 2023-24 season), 7 of which were on target (compared to 2 last year). Conversely, while the Frenchman had 2 assists in September 2023, he is still at 0 assists today.
