Additional Skills
A central defender and fullback of great physical strength and temperament, as well as elegance and composure, Thuram has been the greatest French defender in history and one of the foremost exponents of the role. Compared to other defenders, he had the merit of maintaining a high performance standard even as a pure fullback (as seen in the victorious 1998 World Cup) or as a defender in a three-man defense at Parma.
