Legendary former AC Milan defender Alessandro Costacurta feels that Marcus Thuram was “extraordinary” for Inter Milan against Fiorentina.

Speaking on Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, the former defender also noted that Thuram is a player with a bit of a history of inconsistency.

Thuram was one of Inter’s big name arrivals during the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old signed without a transfer fee. However, the fact that Inter had to beat out a lot of competition for his signature, he arrived with some pressure to do well.

Moreover, Thuram is one of Inter’s highest earners – it is not as though the Nerazzurri are not investing big in the Frenchman.

Therefore, it was naturally a bit of a worry that Thuram had not scored in preseason.

The 26-year-old also failed to find the back of the net in Inter’s first two matches of the season, wins over Monza and Cagliari.

However, Thuram has shown clear signs of finding his feet in a Nerazzurri shirt. His performances against the Brianzoli and the Rossoblu were good.

Thuram even notched his first ever assist for Inter against the latter.

And now he can add a goal to that. Thuram headed home from a Federico Dimarco cross to open the scoring in a 4-0 rout of Fiorentina.

Costacurta Hails “Extraordinary” Marcus Thuram Vs Fiorentina

Former Rossoneri defender Costacurta said of Thuram that “His history shows that he has ups and downs.”

“[Against Fiorentina] he played an extraordinary match,” he continued.

“But he has always had ups and downs in his history, so let’s wait a little bit and see.”

Costacurta also noted that “It’s true that Inter lost the Champions League final. But their self-belief has increased.”

“I see an Inter team that are very sure of themselves,” he added. “And in my opinion that’s the fruit of the final fifty days of last season.”
