Theo Hernández, player for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, gave an extensive interview to Gazzetta dello Sport in which he discusses Milan's troubled exit in the summer. He says he never forced a transfer out of the Italian club where he was captain and criticizes the management. «It's the truth. When I arrived at the club, there were Massara, Boban and Maldini, my idol, on the board. Ibra [atualmente conselheiro sénior para o futebol] He's a top player, but after Paolo left, everything changed for the worse. I felt disoriented. Last year, Calabria and I showed up at Milanello wearing Paolo's shirt and some people didn't like it. In addition to Ibra, the lack of Milanese spirit is notable», he said. Last season, a moment starring Rafael Leão and Theo Hernández was widely criticized. During a Milan-Lazio match, in September, the two players were apart of a 'round' promoted by Portuguese coach Paulo Fonseca, then at the club, during a break in the game. “They exaggerated. The Lion and I had just arrived and we were quiet. They said we didn't have a good relationship with the coaches, but that wasn't true. I also got along well with [Sérgio] Conceição. He was authoritarian, but people wrote nonsense», assures Theo. «Rafael Leão is very strong, but sometimes his head is in the wrong place. In those years, he and I, on the left, caused harm to everyone. I don't see him as a good striker", he says. Leão has been adapted as a striker by Max Allegri.
