For Theo Hernandez, this gathering in the France team is coming to the point. For the past few months, the left side has experienced a very complicated situation in AC Milan, where it is more than ever under the fire of criticism. His level of play well below what he has been able to show in recent years, his performances far from being up to par and his attitude are notably pointed out. We can cite in particular his fairly stupid expulsion during the 1/16 final of the Champions League against Feyenoord on February 18 (1-1, 2-1 defeat with cumulative scores). He had received a first yellow card at the 44th before scoring a red in the 51st minute of play for having simulated.
He's hard this season
Criticized by the press, he had also been dressed for winter by big names in football, including Zvonimir Boban. “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. ” Supported publicly by Milan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the former Real Madrid player did not help his case behind the scenes. Especially since it was said in the Italian press that his expulsion was experienced as the drop of water that made the vase overflow by its leaders.
In addition to a fine, they left it to Sérgio Conceição to decide whether the 27 -year -old side would replay or not during the end of the season. In addition, the Milanese also sealed the future of the player at the end of the contract in 2026, to employee requests too large for them (a minimum wage of € 7 million per year, editor's note). Indeed, the Gazzetta dello Sport says he will not be extended and that he will leave this summer. They were even ready to let him join Côme, who had made an offer of € 40 million last January. But the tricolor player had refused. This Wednesday, the GDS Returning a layer and once again assures that he will not extend his lease and that his club awaits offers at the end of the season. Especially since it should be remembered that Real Madrid has an option to buy it.
Milan is ready to do anything to get rid of it
If the Lombards never manage to sell it, there is also the risk of letting spinning free, ensures the Italian media. What would be very surprising but it is not an option excluded by AC Milan, which is already looking for a new left side. But Theo Hernandez will have his say. And for the moment, he tells his club that he wants to stay. Except that it is not the trend in the minds of Italian thinking heads. Beyond its financial requirements and its services (3 goals and 4 assists in 37 appearances in all competitions, editor's note), AC Milan has more and more trouble with its behavior. At the start of the season, Paulo Fonseca was not a fan of the player, who had a lack of training in training according to him.
Sérgio Conceição, he has trouble with French. But the reciprocal is valid since Theo Hernandez is not a fan of the methods of the former Porto coach according to The Repubblica. Last weekend, he again did his own. In an article entitled “Theo, the last offense”there Gazzetta dello Sport Reveals that the rear left requested its change against Com co-calf pain. Nothing surprising so far. Except that the publication with pink paper adds that in Italy we are very surprised that it remains available to the national team. “Two days ago, he arrived with casualness and smile in Clairefontaine. He couldn't go unnoticed: blond, sunglasses, excessively wide sport combination. ”
Lucas Digne makes him shade in selection
There GDS continues: “On the ground, we didn't see him. He did not train with the group, but still chose to stay in France. Thuram for ankle problems is back available to Inter doctors. ” An attitude that therefore poses a big problem in Italy. In France, Lucas Hernandez's brother must also manage a particular situation. Holder in his post since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he must manage the serious competition embodied by Lucas Digne, who showed great things during his last outings in the French team but also with his Aston Villa club. The two tricolor players are in contrary dynamics. Didier Deschamps will have to decide between them tomorrow evening in Split.
Last Thursday, the coach of the Blues had also stolen from the help of the Milanese at the 36 selections (2 goals), who alternated the good and the less good in the jersey struck with the rooster. “Other players are not necessarily in the best period. It also depends on his team. I know what Theo is capable of. Yes, his performance is not similar to what he is able to do over time. Players were performing in the French team despite the least in club. The important thing is also to be in support of the players, there is a relationship of trust and a competition too. On last fall, he played and less played than usual because I wanted to see Lucas worthy too. But all that is a player's career, there can be less periods. ” Theo Hernandez experiences it, he who hopes to take advantage of this blue parenthesis to find colors.
