Inter Milan & France Superstar Outlines Lofty Ambitions For This Season: “Winning 2 Scudetti In 3 Years Would Be Huge” | OneFootball

Inter Milan star striker Marcus Thuram has outlined his ambition to win his second Serie A title in three years.

Speaking to CBS Sports via FCInterNews, Ticus also discussed his relationship with his brother Khephren.

Marcus Thuram won the Scudetto in his debut season at the San Siro, helping Inter secure the second star on their shirt.

Indeed, the French megastar forged a formidable attacking partnership with Lautaro Martinez.

Despite his notable drop-off this season, the 28-year-old remains the focal point of Inter’s attack.

Thuram has scored 11 goals and added five assists across 27 appearances in all competitions this term.

However, the former Borussia Monchengladbach ace has been out of form since returning from injury in November.

For context, he has netted just three goals in 12 Serie A matches since returning to the field.

Regardless, the Nerazzurri remain at the top of the table, boasting a five-point lead over second-placed AC Milan.

Cristian Chivu has laid the groundwork for Inter’s 21st Scudetto in his first year at the helm.

However, the San Siro giants would be wise to avoid complacency.

“I still have that ball control and the desire to have it at my feet and run,” Thuram conceded. “If you learn to be a number 9 from a young age, you learn how to finish, not how to build a goal.

“But I’ve always been a player who loves to dribble and make assists, and that has led me to be the number 9 I am today.

“Inter saw me as a creative player who could play alongside Lautaro and help the team win.

“It was the right time to join a club like this and play at San Siro: it’s a dream to walk in there every time.

“It gives me goosebumps because it’s a footballing monument: Inter came at the right time.

“I have wonderful memories at San Siro: the semi-final against Barcelona, the goals against Milan. But every night there can be special’ I love it.

“Winning two league titles in three years would be rewarding.

“It won’t be easy because the other teams are there.

“However, we have to keep working and learning from our mistakes, and we can do it.

“I’m much more mature in the way I play; I let my emotions influence me much less.

“Last year, we reached the Champions League final against Bayern and Barcelona, and those games helped me grow.

“I try to improve in everything I do, to become a smarter player and improve my positioning.

“And I want to learn how to move perfectly on the pitch. That way, you can help the team better.”

Inter Milan Ace Marcus Thuram Comments on His Brother Khephren

Khephren Thuram has emerged as a potential transfer target for Inter amid the club’s pursuit of an elite midfielder.

However, the former OGC Nice star has become a vital part of Luciano Spalletti’s setup at Juventus.

Therefore, the Bianconeri will likely do everything to prevent him from leaving in the summer.

“We are similar in many ways,” Thuram said. “He works hard and is a serious professional: he knows what he wants, he likes to have fun, he is the best in the world.

“I am his number one fan: he is very competitive towards me and I like that.

“Every time we play against each other, I want to see that anger because it makes me proud.

“He’s very competitive; he always wants to win and be number one: when we’re on the pitch, I try to joke around, but he doesn’t like it.

“When we faced each other, I wanted to try to be the big brother: it didn’t go so well, maybe it was my mistake, because he scored and he never scores.

“But I’m super proud of him and what he’s achieving: I wish him all the best.

“He has a lot of potential, and I wish him all the best. We talk every day, we have a great relationship.

“My dream for us is to express our full potential, to grow as men, with values.

“We are footballers, but at the end of your career, you have to be more than an athlete, you have to have morals and respect.”

“We have a wonderful relationship,” Thuram confirmed. “He is the captain and symbol of Inter: he is our leader.

“He is a great example in terms of his movement and aggression during games: he taught me this.

“And he likes to do things that I don’t do, and the same goes for him. We complement each other perfectly.

Asked about Inter’s second star, Thuram replied: “I remember my goal perfectly. Both of them, even the first one in the first leg.

“I’ve never gone to watch them personally, but sometimes I open TikTok and see them.

“Beautiful memories, it was very important for our fans; they were waiting for the second star, and now we have it on our jerseys.”

Finally, Thuram responded to recent criticism.

“People are obsessed with numbers,” Ticus stated. “Sometimes people don’t even watch the games and award man of the match to whoever scored, even if they didn’t even turn on the TV.

“We have to accept the generation we live in. I’m a striker and my stats are important because I have to score.

“But we mustn’t forget other things like assists, the things that come before assists.

“You have to distance yourself from what you read on Instagram so that it doesn’t affect you.

“The important thing is to ask yourself what’s going on: once you do that, you’ll understand.

“But if you don’t, you can ask yourself why they say certain things about you: maybe they’re angry people who’ve had a bad day.

“But then maybe you meet those people, and they ask you for a photo.

“Sometimes they bet money and lose it on you, but they forget that they’re the ones betting. Once you understand, you live better.”
