Inter striker Marcus Thuram seems to be confident that he will be celebrating a victory in the derby against Inter 10 days from now.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) sent journalist Alessandro Grandesso to France’s training camp at Clairefontaine – which is the headquarters of the French national team – where they are preparing for games against Ireland and Germany over the break.
Grandesso spoke to Olivier Giroud who admitted that he is already starting to feel the anticipation ahead of the match, while Lucas Hernandez offered some insight into the banter between his brother Theo and his close friend Benjamin Pavard of Inter.
He also managed to get a very brief comment from Thuram, who joined the Nerazzurri on a free transfer during the summer and opened his account for the season during their victory against Fiorentina at the weekend.
“The derby? We’ll win,” the former Borussia Mönchengladbach star declared, in a ‘provocative but joking tone’.
It is worth remembering that things could have been much different for Thuram, who looked set to be the first signing for the new management of Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada.
However, the negotiations ran into difficulties and then Inter came in with a higher salary offer to swoop the Frenchman, so he signed there instead.
Let them be overconfident and underestimate us. It’s only going to help us.
Yes we’ll make them WHINE ftw 😀
Third choice striker for his national team but still this much confidence SMH.
😂😂😂 u can literally sense fear in his tone
10 days isn’t enough to prepare for what’s about to hit Inter
What a joke – a supposed Milan fan who goes to their arch rivals for a slightly bigger pay check.
Who cares what Thuram says and wants to do. Sliding door moments…Let him enjoy the blue side of town, we will cheer for the red side…we don’t give a damn what he wants to do come derby day.
i hope we kill him the 16th
He’s lucky Tomori isn’t playing because he would likely have walloped him for this comment lol
His lucky Krunic is Ac Milan DM🤣🤣🤣
Thuram don’t feel shame later when we beat your team
No game of lucky,no fair play…let the best team win
