Inter striker Marcus Thuram was the undisputed man of the match, scoring both goals in the Nerazzurri`s decisive 2-0 victory against Ajax. This stellar performance marked a strong start for Inter in their Champions League group stage campaign.
His two powerful headers were instrumental in overcoming the Dutch opposition. After the match, Thuram spoke to Prime, attributing his goals to excellent service: “Thanks to two very well-taken corners by Calhanoglu!”
The French international also highlighted the team`s defensive solidity. “We played a great match without conceding,” he added, “which was our objective. We`re happy. We knew we had to respond after the Juventus result and we did.”
Thuram Discusses Partnership with Pio Esposito and Addresses Derby Criticism
When questioned about his partnership with young forward Francesco Pio Esposito, with whom he played this evening, Thuram offered high praise. “He`s very good – all of Italy knows Pio,” Thuram stated. “He`s a fantastic guy. Like Bonny and Lautaro.”
The conversation then turned to the recent controversy surrounding the Derby d`Italia. Following Juventus`s winning goal in that match, images circulated on social media that appeared to show Marcus Thuram alongside his brother, Juventus midfielder Khephren. These images had drawn criticism from some Nerazzurri supporters.
Despite the backlash, Thuram confidently addressed the situation. “People can interpret it however they want,” he concluded, “but they know I`ll give everything for Inter. There`s no problem.”
