Thuram was after Posch
The French international striker Marcus Thuram from the German Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach sees an important lesson in his spitting attack against the Austrian Hoffenheim professional Stefan Posch. “Even at the risk of it sounding strange: Today I'm glad that something like this happened,” he said in a joint interview with his father, ex-world and European champion Lilian Thuram, of “L'Equipe “.
“Without this incident it might have been even worse. Maybe I would have become a different person,” said Thuram of the incident last December. “So it was a turning point from which I drew the consequences. Now I understand.”
The 23-year-old justified this unusual explanation by saying that he was on the wrong track at the time. “I was in the most emotionally disturbing phase since playing football,” he said. “I played well in the Champions League, I was nominated for the national team for the first time. Without knowing why, I started to I didn't accept certain things anymore, like, “You won't talk to me like that”. ” Thuram had been suspended from his club for five games, a fine of 40,000 euros and a monthly salary for social purposes.
