During his usual appointment with Corriere dello Sportthe journalist Franco Ordine spoke about the delicate moment that Milan is going through, underlining the “signs of lack of connection” within the Rossoneri locker room. This is his thought: “On the day in which Milan’s gigantic history is dusted off, for the club’s 125th birthday, the Milanello news reports deliver the report of another internal score settlement, already announced by Fonseca’s tirade on Wednesday night The Portuguese coach is preparing to leave Theo Hernandez on the bench against Genoa, one of the protagonists of the 2022 Scudetto ride, also launched into European orbit by the French national team.
The late Theo is unrecognizable to most people and not just to his locker room buddies. And not only from the famous episode of the cooling break shared with Leao in Lazio-Milan at the Olimpico. Because the European match with France already showed a poor performance compared to expectations. In the summer, not even a single phone call came to his account at Milan to test the waters and in fact Ibra’s prediction was promptly respected. Since the start of the new season, his tests (debut in Parma) have revealed serious and sensational defensive distractions (the most repeated and conspicuous in Cagliari) and a questionable clarity. The latest episode that occurred in Milan-Stella Rossa is clear evidence of this. The Frenchman earned a free yellow card by kicking a second ball onto the pitch from the stands: it is the tangible sign of his lack of connection. Thursday morning at Milanello there was a confrontation between Fonseca and Theo.
The Portuguese technician must be recognized as having an advantage: if there is a decayed tooth that hurts, he immediately runs to the dentist to have it extracted! And for this reason he is preparing to leave him on the bench against Genoa. Finally they say: without Paolo Maldini Theo has lost his point of reference. But what’s the excuse? If true, it would mean that in the absence of his football father, Theo Hernandez can no longer play football. Come on, these are stories from a Heart book, not from football in 2024!”.
