Marcus Thuram creates a surprise and finally reveals his idol

In a recent interview, Marcus Thuram revealed the players he hopes to model for the rest of his career.

In his second season in Italy, Marcus Thuram seems to have finally settled in. He has already improved on his Serie A stats from the previous season.

This season, the French international has already scored 16 goals and 4 assists in 37 matches across all competitions. He is therefore partly responsible for the club’s first-place finish in the league.

Despite this successful integration, Marcus Thuram is not satisfied. He still intends to improve. And to achieve this, the 27-year-old wants to draw inspiration from Neymar and Karim Benzema.

“My dream is to step onto the pitch and have a vision of the game as if I were looking down on it. And that way, it’s impossible to make bad choices, 100% success, 100% good choices, 100% of everything.

Do I think it’s possible? Everything is possible. Neymar at PSG, sometimes you had the impression he’d seen everything, scanned everything. Benzema, the same, he sees everything before anyone else,” he said.

Marcus Thuram Aims for the Top
It’s clear that the French striker wants to push his limits. In this regard, he admitted to having already exchanged views with players like Thierry Henry, David Trezeguet, and Nikolas Anelka.

This selection reflects only too well the ambitions of Lilian Thuram’s eldest son. The Inter Milan striker also spoke of his status as the “son of.”

“It’s not like I became ‘the son of’ at 15 (laughs). Ever since I was little, I’ve known that my father plays soccer. My little brother also knows that his dad plays soccer, and that his brother does too.

For me, it’s a source of pride. I’m happy to be ‘the son of’. You can imagine, I’m the son of Lilian Thuram. I’m Marcus Thuram. I’m the brother of Khéphren Thuram.

I don’t see why it would bother me. It’s a source of pride. My father was one of the best defenders in the world.

Today, I play for Inter, I win titles, Khéphren plays for Juventus. A lot of people would like to be in our shoes,” he concluded excitedly.
