Didier Deschamps will once again count on Théo Hernandez as left back for the matches against Israel and Italy. But the Milan defender is going through a difficult time with the Blues.
An indisputable holder in the eyes of Didier Deschamps for several years, Théo Hernandez has become an executive of the French team over the years. His performances, however, suffer from a certain form of irregularity, and the reasons to explain this are multiple. In today's edition, The Team evokes the difficult time that the AC Milan captain is currently going through with the Blues, mainly for emotional reasons. Usually very joyful and unifying in the group, Théo Hernandez has been more withdrawn in recent months. In question, the departures of several of his close friends. Antoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud retired internationally and this weighed on the morale of Théo Hernandez, very close to the Atlético playmaker and his former teammate at AC Milan.
Another of his close friends is no longer part of Didier Deschamps' plans, it is Benjamin Pavard, the Inter defender, who lives in Milan like Théo Hernandez. The injury to his brother Lucas did not help the situation and the sometimes restrictive instructions from Didier Deschamps did not allow him to forget this context to flourish on the pitch. Totally free in Milan, where he enjoys an ultra-offensive position which has made him the most decisive defender in the history of the Lombard club (tied with Paulo Maldini), Théo Hernandez is more confined to defensive tasks in the Team from France, at the request of Didier Deschamps.
Théo Hernandez isolated in the Blues locker room?
The Blues coach has also noticed the drop in his defender's performance, and he has let him know in recent weeks. Problem is, he doesn't really have the means to steal him by putting him in competition because Ferland Mendy has never convinced in the French team while Lucas Digne looks more like an ideal understudy, rather than a potential starter. The unease Théo Hernandez will however have to dissipate as quickly as possible for the good of the Blues, who already have enough problems to resolve (see the Mbappé case) not to add one with an indisputable player, both in the group and on the team. ground.
