The fault? Théo Hernandez!
Indeed, after conceding a first yellow card in the 44th minute, the French obtained a second in the 51st for simulation, synonymous with expulsion. What did not fail to react the former AC Milan star, Zvonimir Boban, who was not tender towards Theo Hernandez at the microphone of Sky Italia:
“But how to do it?” Marciniak is too good referee, he understands everything. Theo has been simulating for years, he will learn not to do it anymore. What is that? What good? You have to go to the point. With the Var, we see everything. Two absurd warnings, he was irresponsible and deviated: this is something that we do not do. ” Fabio Capello then added a layer: “It is not the first time that it has been simulating. This time, he came across a just and severe referee who punished him. But the most serious is the first warning: there, he made a childish gesture. »»
The management of AC Milan nevertheless wanted to be united with its defender like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who refuses to have the defeat on the shoulders of the French international: “Angry against Theo or against the referee?” We are angry with ourselves. It is we who lose. It is our fault and what happened is our responsibility. We have to look at the mirror and tell ourselves what we have done. In matches, these situations occur and you cannot provide or plan them. »» An evening to forget for Théo Hernandez.
