Dante (40) has defended Khéphren Thruam’s (22) drop in performances this season for OGC Nice but urges the midfielder to improve as the club look to consolidate their Champions League position.
Despite Le Gym ’s impressive season where they looked like early title challengers alongside Paris Saint-Germain, Thuram has had a poor season where the midfielder has looked a far cry from the intensely gifted presence that has come to be expected.
Thuram has struggled to adjust to summer appointment Francesco Farioli’s new system and as a result, the midfielder’s influence within the side has begun to wane. Thuram has yet to score or assist his teammates this season and has looked bereft of the creativity that often defined games for Nice since he burst onto the scene in 2019.
