Marcus Thuram - Borussia Mönchengladbach's Star

Marcus Thuram has hit the ground running with Borussia Mönchengladbach, but the Foals' summer arrival has admitted he has struggled to get up to speed in the Bundesliga where "the players seem crazy on the pitch."

Thuram joined Gladbach after playing a starring role for Guingamp in the 2018/19 Ligue 1 season in France, and with four goals and three assists in his first nine Bundesliga appearances, he has clearly taken that form with him across the border.

But the France U21 international has noticed a number of differences in the football played in the German top flight with its breakneck speed and unflinching pressure impressing the powerful 22-year-old.
