France Superstar Reveals Secret Behind Inter Milan Success: “We All Love Spending Time Together” | OneFootball

Star center-forward Marcus Thuram addressed the press in the build-up to Wednesday’s match between Sparta Prague and Inter Milan.

During the pre-game conference via FCInterNews, Thuram discussed several topics, including his partnership with Lautaro Martinez.

The Frenchman has been Inter’s most prolific player this season.

Indeed, with 13 goals, he’s the second-best goalscorer in Serie A behind Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui.

Meanwhile, El Toro had a torrid first half of the season but is steadily returning to his usual best.

“We’re happy,” Thuram replied when asked about his relationship with Lautaro. “Scoring is always important, but if we both manage to do it, it’s even better.”

Furthermore, the Frenchman insists his Argentine clubmate has never let the scoring drought get to him.

“He’s never been nervous,” Thuram added. “He’s our captain and has been leading Inter since the start of the season.”

The 27-year-old went on to praise Lautaro’s leadership skills.

“He’s a leader, and it’s great to see him scoring again, but he wasn’t nervous.”

Marcus Thuram Explains What Makes Inter Milan So Good

Inter remain firmly in contention for the Scudetto.

Meanwhile, automatic knockout qualification in the Champions League looks like a virtual certainty.

Despite losing their grip on Supercoppa Italiana glory, Simone Inzaghi and his men are brimming with confidence.

“The secret of Inter is that we all love being together, and you can see that on the pitch,” Thuram explained. “We’re real friends.”

He also insists the Nerazzurri are not interested in seeking excuses for trailing Napoli in Serie A.

“Last year, we won while playing in the Champions League, so I don’t think it’s an excuse.

“The important thing is that when we step on the pitch, we’re fresh and ready to take the three points.”

Thuram confirms Napoli’s lead at the table’s summit doesn’t faze Inter.

“No, it doesn’t change anything whether someone is ahead or behind. We play to win.”

The ex-Borussia Monchengladbach ace is equally keen to score in every competition.

“There’s very little difference; only against Leverkusen did we fail to score. The important thing is to win.”

Finally, he joked about his media appearances.

Asked whether he keeps a serious face because he doesn’t like journalists, Thuram replied: “It’s because you’re dangerous.”
