Perché l’INTER ora ha PAURA della CLAUSOLA di Thuram

Two doubles, four goals in three league games when a year ago had scored only one and to make four it had taken the first 10 days of the season. Marco Sturam started off with a bang. This year he started the season with numbers that raised a rather uncomfortable question among members of our community, but isn't this 85 million euro clause in danger of becoming too much low for our striker. I want to share with you a tactical and numerical analysis of this new Marco Sturam, which we are seeing this season, an analysis that in my opinion puts some really interesting data and trends and then there also leads to a number of market-themed reflections. So stay tuned until the end because friends, passions interists, meanwhile, welcome back. In this new episode today we have brought an analysis, in my opinion, very interesting, which came about in collaboration with our club of Passione Inter, that is to say, the subscribers of the triplet level on passioninter. Club, participated in an analysis and study session with me in which we went to take videos, heat maps, data, statistics and then produced a series of results that I bring to you in part in this content today that otherwise is in danger of becoming really long. But here, if you like this kind of analysis, you can participate in the various studies we do in our Passione Inter club why don't we then publish and thus join our club of Passion Inter, also support our work on passioninter. Club. Let us start then in this analysis with a quick heat map that is crucial to begin our discourse. I share the screen. The heat maps represent the first three matches of last season compared with the first three matches of this year. I also say this for those who listen to us on podcasts, they are visual references but which I will now analyse very briefly, in the sense that Turam, however, as evident from these graphics, trust me if you are listening to me and not looking, he has not changed much in the way he has been on the field in these three games compared to the first three games of last season, but then I went watching everything else compared to the whole season in fact. Dunham has not changed much in the way he stays inside the camp and the level of position in which it is involved. He remains a striker who varies a lot, but already last year, as I said, several times started as an offensive reference, therefore with a certain presence in the penalty area he was basically the most advanced man. This race, perhaps, became a little more pronounced in the first three games of this year, but it is broadly similar. The only small difference we saw, in my opinion, is with Lecce, where, playing in tandem with Taremi, Thuram attacked a little more from the centre-right. Whereas usually, when playing with Lautraro Martínez, he starts more from left, where he also played in Germany, for example, but playing a different role. However, against Lecce it must be said that it was also a four-man defence, so a bit different, it was only one game. However, here we are analysing what are the first signals, I invite you, however, to keep an eye on this. So, should Turam and Taremi play together again, take notice if Turam plays more on the centre-right than to when he plays with Lautraro Martines. Then we move on to the numbers, and the numbers, in my opinion, begin to show us, instead, something even more interesting. I'll share it just quickly because I didn't make a table very beautiful graphically, I apologise. I am working on improving my graphic skills but not I am still a graphic designer. The data are interesting but up to a point, in the sense that in my opinion more interesting are the readings we then give to the data. So what did I do? What are these tables? I compared the data of the first three matches of this season of Turam, they are the only matches we have available at this time of the new Turam's season, I compared them with the data from the first three games last year, then with data from three games in which I considered Turam in top form, i.e. Napoli-Inter, Inter-Udinese and Lazio Inter, are three consecutive league games in which Turam has always scored, has scored a goal in every game, so it is probably his period of top form and that was in February. And then And these data from the first three games of this year I compared them also with data from the whole of last season, so that we can find some trends and perhaps confirmations, of the hypotheses I had in mind that in effects were later confirmed. Because what emerges from these data and our readings of them together with the Passione Inter club. When comparing the first three days of this year's last year, it emerges that with the same expected goals, i.e. the goals you expected Turam to score based on what he produced in the offensive phase, Turam scored four goals this year, last year only one. He had produced 1.69 expected goals in these first three games, scoring four goals. Last year with a 1.66 expected goal he only scored one goal. He shot the most towards the opponent's goal, 3.6 shots per game, last year 2.6 shots per game and attempted twice as many dribbles, so he is dribbling even more than last season. Interestingly, as we have pointed out, the percentage of accuracy has fallen of successful passes, i.e. successful passes dropped as a percentage. This is because we have seen, by analysing the data even deeper, that it has increased the progressive passages that are more difficult by 65%, i.e. last year guessed more passes, playing more or less the same amount of balls, because Because he was making easier, even closer passes. This year he is missing more, but because he is finding passes more complicated, progressive, i. e. forward, gaining ground, to gain depth. In the comparison between the first three games of this year and the top period last season, it emerges that he scored three goals in the top period, but with a total of 2.78 expected goals. This year, however, as I said, he scored four goals with 1.69 expected goal. So with far fewer expected goals he scored four goals. In his peak period last year he scored three goals but with many more expected goals. It means that this year he also ate a few more goals. Here it converted better with greater accuracy in a significant way. In comparison then with last season, the following emerged five very interesting things. The first: the percentage of shots on goal out of the total shots it attempts rose from 37.7 per cent last season, i.e. out of 100 shots 37, Seven times he hit the goal mirror. This year it rose to 63.6 per cent, per 100 shots, precisely, 63.6 times hit the goal. This is because he is also trying some shots from closer range, but in general has really improved its accuracy. Number two: he more than doubled the shots on goal for 90 minutes, so just in terms of shots he is shooting more and hitting more the goal every 90 minutes in every game. And then he doubled the goals per shot, i.e. per shot he scores twice as much as last year. Last year it took twice as many shots, basically, to score the goals that he is keeping as a pace this year. Fourth very interesting point: he greatly increased the progressive balls played, the carries are called a bit on the tool we use for the statistics, especially in the final third of the field, i.e. in the last 35 metres about, and even more so towards the penalty area. That is, compared to last season, Thuram advanced his range of actions in terms of balls they bring forward, which they carry with them. So it means that his dribbling attempts, which as as I said before, they have increased a lot, and his muscular, physical running, he is doing them a few metres further on, in the even hotter zone, even more offensively, then all the way into the penalty area even, in much more frequently than last year. Fifth point: he won 30% more air duels, which is still a trend significant, 30% more, is to be kept under observation. Let us then draw our own conclusions based on this data. I am also curious to read your additional analyses, possibly, that a few light bulbs may come on about what we said. Firstly, it is clear that there are only three matches, so could also be random data. He may simply have been luckier than expected in this start of the Turam season. So it is clear that he will then have to confirm these things during the arc of the season to be able to say everything we are going to say now. But for the moment we only have this data available, as the season has only just begun, but these data can give us some indications for some trends then to be monitored and can give us insights to make conclusions, even without going too far, but conclusions to be analysed then also in the coming weeks. The first thing that comes to mind, therefore, is also that In fact, the most important thing I think I have to say about Turam at this point, is that last year, when he arrived, Turam had started a centre forward job. He was cast to play that role there and we often talked about how daddy Lilian Turam repeatedly stated that only Ausilio had seen in Marcus this potential even as a striker to become a centre forward. Actually, by the way, those who have been following us since 2021 know that I used to talk about it too, but it is not a speech to brag, it is a speech that, you know I was very much hoping to take Thuram and make him Inter's striker with these mode here, before he was even accosted by us immediately after his departure of Lukako, so I had my sights set on it. So I am very happy with this evolution it is having. However, last year, as I told you, it gave me the impression of a player who was studying a lot, thinking a lot on what he had to do. So initially, in my opinion, he had difficulties precisely because he reasoned on Inzaghi's tactical indications, on understanding the movements and how to be ready. Then it melted and exploded throughout the season. Last year he therefore acquired the whole tactical part and was able to work a year under Simone Inzaghi, clearly leading to a point that today allows him to start much further ahead than last year. In addition, however, and this is the real point in my opinion, he has worked a lot this year on the finalisation and also on the header, given the numbers I mentioned earlier, and the first results, as the numbers tell us, I think we are seeing. That is, he worked precisely on completing those characteristics he already had, those tactics that Inzaghi taught him, he went to put in his baggage of skills, let's say, that which most concerns the finaliser, the tip, what he has to do inside the penalty area. He already did the movements last year, this year he does them even more offensive, even more accentuated by the numbers I was telling you, but in addition he worked on the finalisation aspect. In addition to this, watch out for Lautrano Martínez. I also talked about it in two other contents you can find on our channel. I seemed to see in this early season a Lautano Martines even more mobile and even more selfless, not that he wasn't, he is always was a very unselfish player, good for playing in pairs in attack. But I wondered about this altruism, which at this moment is still a bit more pushed, in my opinion, is either because he is not in top form or he is returning out this more finisher soul of Lautaro Martínez? I actually got a slightly different idea, in the sense that Lautaro and Turam In my opinion, they are both very strong strikers, but to play together, that is in a two-man attack with another striker on the side and are fitting in very well well in terms of features. So together in this Inter like this, offensive, playing with balls, playing the way Inzaghi wants, they complement each other very, very well. So my feeling is that perhaps this year the goal difference between Lautaro and Turam could eventually be more balanced, not more unbalanced like this as much on the side of Lautaro Martínez, as it was last year. Then I don't know if even Turam will manage to score more than Lautaro, as many are writing in the comments. But surely a Turam playing in France, who starts to put in these finaliser things, if it rises above 15 goals or even above 20 season goals, at the age of 28, which he will be next year, he becomes a striker certainly world-class, playing for Inter Milan, a team increasingly prominent who will also participate in the Club World Cup, which will be an additional showcase. And so at that point those 85 million of this recissor clause that is being talked about much for a player who also has a sustainable salary, then for those who are top-class clubs, I am not saying that it is in danger of becoming a low figure, but it certainly risks becoming an interesting one, at least attackable, by Europe's top clubs. For Inter it would be a total capital gain to put on the balance sheet, since arrived practically on a zero parameter basis. Indeed, then we pay attention to another factor. Since the clause has to be paid in a lump sum in order to be exercised immediately, immediately, be careful because there are clubs, such as the Manchester United, who are also willing to pay more than the clause to be able to reschedule the impact. So you could go even higher in terms of figures. And this year I was taking a look at how much they moved strikers and Julian Alvarez is the only really high figure. 75 million plus 20 million in bonuses from Manchester City to Atlético Madrid. Julian Alvarez is three years younger than Turam. It is not such a huge difference in age. Then in reality, the big strikers did not move for very large numbers. The highest is Zirze with about 45 5 million, then Doffbick and Sorlott I think which are the highest paid over 30 or so. But this was a very peculiar market. In a year's time with the Super Champions in place, the Club World Cup, which will be further a showcase that puts Tenanno even more money potentially in circulation, if Turam continues like this, watch out that maybe something can actually move. But my aim was not to make you anxious, because Turam is anyway very well in Milan, and indeed perhaps precisely because Inzaki is there might aim to stay to take a further step forward, because Inter it is still a very ambitious team, it is among the top teams in Europe and I repeat, for me today Turam is not yet a top player to play as the sole centre forward, Let's put it in this key here, but it is absolutely to play in copy. At least this is my vision, this is my reading. And a better team than Inter to play in a two-man attack, in my opinion is very difficult to find in Europe today. I don't know what you think. So let me know your thoughts on all these arguments. Tell me if you liked this type of analysis and if you want to others, perhaps even in the coming days, weeks. However we continue to work on it in the Passione Inter club to reason on this and elsewhere at www. Passioninter. Club. If you have come this far, please write in the comments how many Marcus Turam will score this year. I want to know from you, in my opinion, Turam will score a number of goals. Write to me There is a short summary for the theme. So this in the chat, in the comments below. I will leave you with another insight that you will find in the description for those who listen to us podcast, and for those who follow us from YouTube, just click here.
