While her two sons, the Interist Marcus and the Juventino Khéphren, face each other on Sunday in Serie A, Lilian Thuram had to make a choice…
This won’t be a first. If Marcus Thuram (27 years old) and his younger brother Khéphren (23 years old) will face each other on Sunday at San Siro during the clash of the 9th day of Serie A between their respective teams of Inter Milan and Juventus, the two brothers are already faced among professionals, in France. It was during the semi-finals of the 2019 League Cup. Striker Marcus, then at Guingamp, first scored against AS Monaco from Khépren, a midfielder who entered in the 80th minute, before missing his shot on goal, which the youngest had not attempted. But the Bretons still won (2-2, 5-4 tab). On Sunday, there will be fewer issues, as a Marcus in great form did not fail to remind us, who saved the Lombard club by scoring the only goal of the Champions League match on the Young Boys pitch on Wednesday , and who already has 7 goals in 8 Serie A matches.
“It’s still a Juventino”
A championship that Khéphren is discovering, he who has just made three consecutive starts with the Turin club, including one in C1 during the defeat against Stuttgart (0-1). And the ex-Niçois should still start at Giuseppe-Meazza, for this undecided Italian Derby. But who will their father, a former Juve player seen in the nerazzurro jersey to celebrate Inter’s championship title last season, support? “It will be a great match, our whole family will be at San Siro. Who will our father Lilian support? He will be for Juve, that’s for sure, Marcus told Sky with a smile. It’s normal, It’s the little brother’s team. And then dad played for Juve, it’s still a Juventino. And it’s not a decisive match. We’re still at the start of the championship, it’s a match like the ones. others, which is worth three points.”
