Inter v Liverpool, Thuram tempers excitement: "We’ll need a perfect match" | OneFootball

A few hours before the Champions League big match against Liverpool, Marcus Thuram appears at the press conference alongside Cristian Chivu with clear ideas and measured tones. The Frenchman praises the opponent, rejects the label of favorite, and prepares the Nerazzurri environment for a challenge of enormous intensity.

INTER-LIVERPOOL, THURAM TEMPERING ENTHUSIASM: “A PERFECT MATCH WILL BE NEEDED”

Marcus, Inter's forward, keeps a low profile and calls for caution despite the Reds' complicated moment: “I don't know if we can think of being stronger than Liverpool. We have confidence, we will try to play a great match as we always do.” Words that demonstrate respect and awareness of the English team's value: “We are playing against a team with a lot of experience, Liverpool has many champions.”

On the topic of Salah and the alleged internal tensions among the English, Thuram responded with disarming sincerity: “I haven't watched Liverpool's matches this year. Salah is one of the strongest in the world, but they have many strong players.” No underestimation, quite the opposite: “They will want to prove wrong those who say it's a good time to face them.”

On the subject of physical condition: “I have recovered very well, I feel good. I'm ready to help the team.” With humility, he adds: “As of today, I don't think I'm among the top 5 forwards in the world.”

Finally, a look at the Nerazzurri's journey: “There is a lot to improve,” and praise for Chivu: “He knows what we are going through, he has been in our place.”
