Marcus Thuram is certainly the cover man of this start to the season in Serie A: the French striker has scored four goals in three games and is currently the real driving force of Inter, waiting for Lautaro Martinez to start getting going. Two braces (not even one last season) and the top scorer ranking after the first three matchdays of the championship, important numbers that predict an even better year than last year.
As Corriere della Sera points out, there are two main factors behind this fantastic start: “Tikus had never scored a brace in his first season with the Nerazzurri, which also brought 13 goals in the league (15 in total): now he has scored two in three games and is running away in the Nerazzurri scoring charts, given that Lautaro has not yet scored. Thanks to the internal competition with Taremi and the family with his brother Kephren at Juve. And above all thanks to a game that is always the same and yet always different, which gives centrality to the Frenchman and enhances his qualities.
All this that is hard to see in the national team, increasing the psychological pressure on a boy who perhaps feels the weight of his surname more in France”, the newspaper reads.
