Inter Milan Vs Como – Marcus Thuram Warns Nerazzurri Ahead Of Crunch Coppa Italia Semi-Final Clash: “It Won’t Be Easy” | OneFootball

Inter Milan star Marcus Thuram addressed the press ahead of tonight’s Coppa Italia semi-final clash against Como.

Speaking to Inter TV via FCInterNews, the 28-year-old urged his teammates not to take anything for granted.

Despite missing Lautaro Martinez, Alessandro Bastoni, and Yann Bisseck, Inter head into proceedings as favorites.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri pulled off a stunning comeback to beat Como 4-3 on the road only a fortnight ago.

Furthermore, that win forms part of Inter’s flawless three-game run in Serie A since the club season resumed in April.

Cristian Chivu’s men have been firing on all cylinders after the break, netting at least three goals in each of those victories.

Therefore, they should take the field in high spirits, even though they cannot rely on their talismanic captain in this high-stakes fixture.

However, Chivu can draw confidence from Marcus Thuram’s return to form.

Indeed, the Frenchman has scored in three consecutive league appearances following an underwhelming start to the new calendar year.

Marcus Thuram Urges Inter Milan Not to Take Como for Granted

Thuram, who initiated Inter’s outstanding comeback at Como two weeks ago, refuses to underestimate Cesc Fabregas’ side.

And he has a good reason.

In fact, the Nerazzurri failed to make a single shot on target in the first leg, generating a dreadful 0.07 xG.

However, Chivu has since turned Inter’s fortunes around.

“I expect a serious match in front of our fans,” Thuram said. “Como are a very strong team that plays very well.

“It won’t be easy, especially because they change formation in every game. They have a great coach who knows how to adapt.”

Asked what his ambition is for the rest of the season, Thuram replied: “To lead Inter Milan to achieve every possible target.”

Beating Como tonight would see Inter reach the Coppa Italia final for the first time since 2023.
