The two players most questioned during Paulo Fonseca’s stewardship thus changed the game, allowing a courageous Sergio Conceicao’s Milan to win in a comeback. The Portuguese coach deserves only applause for mentally turning the Diavolo around in just a few days. The former Porto man has shown that he wants to believe in Theo Hernandez, despite a thousand difficulties. He did not question him, as happened in the previous management, and after a complicated game against Juve, he put his wings back on the very most heartfelt challenge. The French full-back thus reopened the derby, with a perfect free kick. A free kick born from Rafa Leao’s first dart, the absolute protagonist at the same time as the number 19.

But back to Theo Hernandez, the equalizer comes again thanks to one of his plays: a perfect assist for the usual Christian Pulisic, who finds a tricky goal that certifies his greatness. The Frenchman can finally smile again:

“We played a good game. Inter is a great team,” Hernandez told Mediaset’s microphones. “I went through a difficult moment, but now I’m getting better. I am still not 100 percent, but I can still help the team. It is also our fault that Fonseca left, not just his fault. I wish him the best. With Conceiçao we had little time but we made good use of it. To whom do you dedicate the goal? I dedicate it to my wife, my son, now a girl is also coming, and my whole family.”
The winning goal, in the midst of recovery, however, was scored by Tammy Abraham. The Englishman only has to put in a ball served by Rafa Leao, who changed the game with his entrance. Mila, then, is reborn, and is back to greatness thanks to the flashes of its champions. Theo Hernandez and Rafa Leao, who were questioned during the Paulo Fonseca management, become protagonists of a great night, together clearly with the usual Christian Pulisic, who proves again tonight that he is a champion of continuity.
