Chivu defends Thuram: “Only in Italy can he be questioned”

Cristian Chivu has taken a stand on Marcus Thuram’s current situation, rejecting the most critical interpretations of the French striker’s performances. The Inter coach highlighted how difficult it is to understand the doubts surrounding the Nerazzurri number 9, defending his value within the team.

The manager’s message was clear: “Only in Italy can Thuram be questioned.” Chivu also stressed that he had never referred to injuries or other problems to explain any less convincing displays. His clarification separates technical assessments from speculation about the player’s physical condition.

The comments come during a positive spell for Inter, who returned to victory in Serie A with a 2-0 win over Como after losing 3-1 to Milan and then beating Feyenoord 3-0 in the Champions League. The Nerazzurri will return to action on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45 away to Atalanta. For Chivu, Thuram remains an attacking reference the team can rely on.
