In a football locker room, certain numbers weigh more heavily on the shoulders, no matter how square they are. They imply an inheritance, responsibilities. Raise expectations. Call for a duty of memory. Stimulate a collective imagination. At Inter Milan, preferred in particular to PSG this summer, Marcus Thuram wears well the 9 left vacant by Edin Dzeko (nearly 400 career goals) when he left for Fenerbahçe. That’s pretty good because the Nerazzurri’s flagship recruit, long appreciated for his versatility, has started his transformation since last season.
