Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram is happy to receive praise from Julio Cruz.
Speaking to InterTV following yesterday evening’s Champions League win over Benfica, via FCInterNews, the Frenchman revealed that he used to play as the Argentine former Nerazzurri striker on his Playstation.
Thuram has gotten off to an excellent start to life at Inter.
The 26-year-old scored his third ever goal for the club in yesterday’s win over Benfica.
And it was his most decisive one yet. Thuram’s strike in the second half was enough to give Inter three vital points to gain a foothold in their Champions League group.
Thuram has not just been scoring goals either. The Frenchman has also been assisting goals for his teammates.
And Thuram’s play all around the pitch – not just around the penalty area – has been a revelation in terms of Inter’s overall style of play.
Therefore, the 26-year-old has won plenty of praise for his first couple months as an Inter player.
