A Thuram for Juve. Damiani: “Khephren doesn’t have the physicality of his brother, but he is more elegant”

Oscar Damianihistoric prosecutor of Lilian Thuramin an interview with Allsports spoke about his son Khephren and his imminent move to Juventus: “Khephren doesn’t have the physicality of his brother, but he is more elegant. However, compared to the times when I held him in my arms, I can confirm that he has grown quite a bit: he is very tall and knows how to impose himself on the pitch, even if he has a more agile structure than Marcus”.

Damiani, one year after Marcus and twenty-eight after Lilian, how would you see Khephren’s arrival in Italy too?
“Very good, honestly. A player who matures in the French league, much more physical than the Italian one, when he arrives in Serie A can complete his growth, also improving from a tactical point of view. And guaranteeing added value to the club he arrives at, as a result”.

By the way, in which role do you think you perform best?
“Probably as a classic mezzala, with permission to insert himself, in a three-man midfield. He is an all-round player, a “box to box” midfielder, as they say. Let’s say that he is not suited to playing as a winger or even as a playmaker: apart from that, in reality, he can play without any problems in the middle of any formation”.
