After the farewells of Stefano Pioli, Olivier Giroud and Simon Kjaer, absolute uncertainty reigns at Milan, given that at the moment the long-awaited purchases have not arrived nor any contract renewal of the big names still in the squad: one of these in particular , that means Theo Hernandezdid not send encouraging messages, explaining since the retirement of the French national team that he still had to decide whether or not to remain in the red and black jersey.
Certainly not the words that the Devil’s fans would have liked to hear spoken by one of the most talented, decisive and loved footballers, especially in a delicate phase like the one the team is experiencing. Despite the words of Zlatan IbrahimovicIn fact, there are many who say they are disappointed with the path that the club has decided to take, focusing on a coach like Paulo Fonseca, who is not able to warm up spirits and give a guarantee of ambition like the much desired Antonio Conte. The most disappointed believe that it was a convenient choice both to limit the salary to be given to the coach and to have on the bench someone with few demands regarding the purchases to be made for next season.
Disappointed by the technical direction of the team, therefore, the fans tried to console themselves with the idea that the strongest players in the squad would remain Milanello. Even in this case the rumors were not so encouraging, among those aiming for an upward adjustment of the salary, like Mike Maignan, those who were given as leaving for important sums with lots of “packaging”, like Rafael Leao, and those who have been linked to big clubs (Bayern Munich above all) like Theo Hernandez.
The reassurances given by Ibrahimovic, as mentioned, did not convince everyone, also because the risk of reaching the last two years of the contract, or worse the last, could mean seeing the champions leave at rock-bottom prices or even on a free transfer. That free transfer between Chalanoglu, Kessie and Donnarumma still gives the Rossoneri supporters a stomach ache. The purchasing campaign doesn’t take off either. De Ketelaere sold outright to Atalanta, Milan seemed close to finishing with Zirkzee, but once again the hopes of the Rossoneri people were dashed. For now we are only talking about the weight of the commissions, and yet another disappointment seems to be looming on the horizon.
It is in this less than serene and, what’s worse, currently not very confident environment that Theo Hernandez’s statement, which further agitated the Rossoneri supporters, comes into play. Declared untransferable by Ibrahimovic, the Rossoneri left-back did not seem very sure about what to do. “I’m focused onEuropean. Whether I stay at Milan or not, we’ll see later.”commented Theo.“Could you also go back to Spain?”a reporter asked. “I’m still not thinking about it at the moment”, replied the French footballer. Giving yet another blow to the already dejected Devil’s fans, who would have hoped to hear much more words. Hernandez dwelt more on his characteristics and the national team’s schemes.
“We tried various solutions with the coach”has explained. “I’ve made progress from a defensive point of view. When I arrived at Milan, I wasn’t very good in defence. Now it’s better, but I prefer to attack”concluded the full-back.
