TMW
The manager Marco Brancawith a long past as a footballer in Serie A, spoke to TMW of Inter this year, also focusing on Marcus Thuram’s surprising start to the season withInter and more generally on the Nerazzurri’s moment, also touching on Lautaro Martinez’s candidacy for the next Ballon d’Or:
Does Thuram’s impact on Inter this year surprise you?
“From a physical and movement point of view he is almost indispensable, he is a very useful player. He must improve in the final phase, when he finds himself in front of the goal he must be a little colder, because going forward with the season there will be matches where if If 2 occasions happen, it’s already a lot, and with the highest stakes you have to put it in.”
Lautaro, on the other hand, is struggling more than last year… Is Toro worthy of the Ballon d’Or?
“It would certainly be right for him to be at least in the top three. Then you can’t be in the minds of the voters, but what he did this year with the club and with the national team must have weight for meritocratic thinking, he must also be in the top three because he is world champion.”
Is Simone Inzaghi now a top coach?
“He has amply demonstrated that he has a high level of maturity both as a technician and as a human being.”
