The disappointment over the abandonment of Romelu Lukaku – who last summer had suddenly decided to turn his back on the Inter world – was definitively swept away by the joy of the twentieth scudetto, but the Nerazzurri fans had already taken steps to erase the memory of the Belgian striker: one of them, in particular, decided to do it with the strip of adhesive tape thanks to which he handcraftedly “corrected” his own number 9 shirt, transforming it with a few touches of the marker from Lukaku’s shirt to that of the new Inter idol Marcus Thuram.
Precisely that shirt, proudly flaunted during the street celebrations on Sunday 28 April, attracted the attention of the French footballer, who launched an appeal via social media to his fans: “Guys, comment and share. Help me find him and I will give him the new shirt” he wrote on his official Instagram profile, posting a photo of the fan in question perched on top of a traffic light and intent on leading the chants of the crowd below, with his “self-produced” t-shirt on display.
The web’s buzz was immediately activated and here emerged the owner of the revised and corrected 9 shirt, beaten only by Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni, who immediately applied to receive the gift promised by Thuram, eliciting an amused reply from his teammate. team.
“It’s me” simply wrote the fan disappointed by Lukaku and now in love with Thuram, then sharing the French striker’s post in his Instagram stories and asking all other users to comment by tagging him, in order to attract the footballer’s attention .
Marcus Thuram’s initiative has further fueled the enthusiasm of the Nerazzurri supporters, who now define him as “a man with a big heart as well as a great champion”. And there are those who promptly try to take advantage of it, half seriously and half jokingly: “The boy in the photo isn’t me, but are you giving me a t-shirt too?”.
On the other hand, the fan noted by Thuram is just one of many who over the years have performed more or less original corrections of shirts that had been purchased for a certain player and had then changed owners on the pitch for the (often turbulent) dynamics of the transfer market: staying at Inter and at number 9, just take a tour of the San Siro stands during the matches to find who has applied even more layers of adhesive tape, going from Icardi to Lukaku and then from Lukaku to Dzeko.
The example was also given by one of the favorites of the Nerazzurri fans: the Chilean striker Ivan Zamorano in the 1998/1999 season had to give up his beloved number 9 shirt to Ronaldo and therefore opted for the 18, but had a + inserted between the two figures and thus showing off on the pitch a 1+8 shirt that has rightfully entered the history of football.
