Self-deprecating social post by Theo Hernandez, French fullback surprises fans: he posted the photo right after Juventus
Another night to forget for Theo Hernandez, who is experiencing his worst moment since he has worn the Milan jersey. Moment, however, that has been going on for too long now: Paulo Fonseca, in the last matches before leaving, had opted for the hard line, the same one used, and with excellent results, with Rafael Leao. The Frenchman returned as a starter against Roma, in the Portuguese coach’s last match.

Sergio Conceicao fielded him in the starting lineup for the semifinal against Juventus: newly arrived, he could not but rely on the best players in the squad, moreover at a time of difficulty due to the many injuries. Theo Hernandez responded, however, not in the right way: error on Yildiz’s goal, the missed goal under goal with his right foot and many other situations in which he continues to be unrecognizable. Every reason can be plausible: there is definitely a physical problem, there is definitely a technical problem, and there is definitely, more than the others, a mental problem. It is up to the coach now to find the key to the turnaround.
Theo Hernandez fa autoironia, il post diventa subito virale
The most glaring mistake in the semifinal against Juventus was that missed goal under the goal after the developments of a corner kick: two steps from the goal, Theo Hernandez did not even catch the mirror. The alibi is that the ball happened to be on the weak foot, in the right, but that’s not enough: from that position you have to score goals, no ifs or buts. He knows it well too, who appeared very tried at the end of the game (Conceicao’s hug was beautiful).

Milan won anyway, however, and that offered Theo Hernandez a chance to joke about it. He would not have done it, of course, in case of defeat. In fact, at the end of the game, the Frenchman posted the following photo on social media: he is in the locker room with his right foot covered and his face smiling. In short, he fooled himself, and that is definitely good, but there is a need for a turnaround as soon as possible for the good of the team.

As mentioned, it must be everyone’s priority to get him back as soon as possible: first and foremost himself, then the coach and, more importantly, the club, which has not handled the renewal issue very well so far. It is difficult to accept that a player like him, so important and so attached to the Rossoneri colors, is due to expire in a year and a half and, above all, there is still no well-initiated negotiation for renewal. His agent has been clear, it is up to Furlani & co. to resolve.
