Como 3-4 Inter Milan – Double Goalscorer Marcus Thuram Hails Italy Superstar: “It’s Thanks To His Two Assists” | OneFootball

Inter Milan star Marcus Thuram praised his teammate Nicolo Barella after last night’s win at Como.

Speaking to Radio RAI via FCInterNews, the French striker thanked the Italian midfielder for setting him up twice.

Marcus Thuram appears to have finally hit his stride following an underwhelming start to the new calendar year.

Indeed, the 28-year-old ended his five-game Serie A drought in last weekend’s 5-2 rout of Roma.

Furthermore, he excelled in Lautaro Martinez’s absence last night, notching a brace as Inter fought back from a 2-0 deficit to beat Como 4-3.

Meanwhile, Nicolo Barella set up the French center-forward for Inter’s first goal of the night with a teasing cross.

Then, he chipped the ball over the top, with Thuram pouncing on Jean Butez’s error to draw the Nerazzurri level.

Denzel Dumfries completed Inter’s comeback with his first Serie A brace of the season.

“The important thing is not the goals, but the way you help the team, your attitude, and your approach in supporting your teammates,” Thuram was adamant. “That’s what I’m trying to do.”

Furthermore, he chose to stay humble despite his immense contribution.

Asked whether his exploits decided last night’s fixture, Thuram replied: “No, no… If I scored, it’s because Nicolò Barella provided two assists.

“Then Denzel Dumfries scored twice, the defenders helped us not concede, and those who came on, the coach, the staff… this is a team victory.”

Meanwhile, he also confirmed that Cristian Chivu helped Inter recover at halftime.

“We all spoke together, we needed to react, and we did.”

Despite admitting he was good at maths, Thuram insisted that Inter will be looking to win all remaining league matches.

“I was pretty good. However, you don’t do calculations. We have to play and win, then we’ll see at the end.”
