‘I know what you always write’: France’s Thuram

FRANCE striker Marcus Thuram only gave extremely short answers to questions at a hastily curtailed news conference on Thursday as he played mind games with journalists.

The 2 -year-old, a late call-up to the holders’ squad, answered each question with a friendly smile but no real substance ahead of their second group game against Denmark on Saturday.

When asked why he was so quiet, the Borussia M nchengladbach forward said: “Because I know what you always write.” When he answered the next question with at least a little more detail, Thuram inquired: “Was that long enough ” He only became serious when talking about his father and 1998 World Cup winner Lilian Thuram.

“It’s no problem for me to talk about him. I love him, he is my father.” After about 1 minutes, the press officer ended the news conference abruptly.
