Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram is eager to relive the exhilarating feeling of winning the Serie A title, having enjoyed immense success with the club last season. Thuram spoke candidly to Italian broadcaster DAZN, expressing his unwavering ambition to help Inter Milan secure another Scudetto during the current campaign.
Following Inter's dominant performance last season, clinching the Serie A title with nearly twenty points separating them from rivals AC Milan, the 27-year-old Frenchman found his footing, having joined the Nerazzurri on a free transfer from Borussia Mnchengladbach. "The Serie A title is something I want to relive with Inter," Thuram stated emphatically.
Thuram's continued ambition and hunger for success remain evident as he prepares for tomorrow's pivotal clash against Napoli. This much-anticipated match at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona presents itself as potentially decisive, with both teams sitting at the top of the Serie A table.
Inter currently leads Napoli by just one point, having overtaken their rivals following an impressive victory over Genoa last weekend. Meanwhile, Napoli suffered an unexpected defeat against Como, adding more pressure to their title quest.
Confirming his return from injury, Thuram, who sustained an ankle knock earlier, is set to start against Napoli, marking his important contribution to the squad's aspirations. "There are still a lot of matches left to go," he cautiously noted about the future, hinting at the long season still to come.
Thuram's expectations for the match were high, reflecting on its potential impact on the title race. "It will be hugely important," he affirmed, recognizing the direct head-to-head nature of the game. His commitment to the team was stark, admitting how they let their chance slip during the recent bitter Derby d'Italia loss to Juventus.
"We let a great chance to take three points pass us by against an opponent we know well. We wanted to win. But we didn’t. We have to pick ourselves back up, start again, work, and keep trying to win matches," Thuram insisted, emphasizing the need to bounce back.
Reflecting on the emotional nature of his goals, he described the ones scored against AC Milan as particularly memorable. By remembering those moments, he spurred his teammates forward, reiterative of his ambitions for the present season.
Thuram also praised his national teammate Randal Kolo Muani, acknowledging the impact he has made at Juventus. "Randal is a top player," he expressed, referencing Kolo Muani's time at Frankfurt and later challenges at PSG. "He’s just doing what he knows how to do at Juventus," Thuram added, insightful of the expectations surrounding his fellow professional.
With aspirations of creating more pivotal moments alongside his teammates, Thuram stated, "Serie A title ambitions are always with me. It motivates me to work and to win matches." This zest for winning encapsulates the spirit at Inter Milan as they gear up for the title run.
The stakes couldn’t be higher as Inter Milan prepares for this exhilarating showdown against Napoli, and with players like Thuram leading the charge, the energy within the squad remains palpable. All eyes will undoubtedly be on the action as these two top teams battle for supremacy.
