It was awarded to the Inter player Marcus Thuram the EA SPORTS FC Player Of The Month award for August: the Frenchman started the season in style with 2 goals against Genoa and another 2 against Atalanta, while he remained dry in the 2-0 against Lecce. The trophy will be awarded during the pre-match of Inter-Milan, scheduled for Sunday 22 September 2024 at 20:45 at the “Giuseppe Meazza” stadium in Milan.
Fan votes on the website http://serieapotm.easports.com/, combined with individual statistics, have decreed Marcus Thuram as the winner, beating champions of the calibre of Coco (Torino), Kvaratskhelia (Napoli), Man (Parma), Retegui (Atalanta), Vlahovic (Juventus).
“In his second season in Serie A, Marcus Thuram has confirmed himself right from the start as one of the great protagonists of the Championship – said Lega Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo -. In addition to the great athletic ability and physical strength that have always distinguished him, the French talent has matured tactically and grown in terms of concreteness and instinct for goal, completing his evolution into a complete striker, capable of helping his team in the race for the title with 4 goals in 3 games. With Thuram’s success, a French footballer returns to win the EA SPORTS FC Player Of The Month five years after Frank Ribery, the last to do so, in September 2019”.
