Theo Hernandez tries to shut down the controversy
In the second half of the challenge between Milan and Lazio Rafa Leao and Theo Hernandez did not participate in the cooling break with their teammates. The two champions remained on the other side of the field and did not join the group that was listening to Paulo Fonseca's instructions.
The behavior è appeared to be a kind of polemic against the coach, who was guilty of keeping the Portuguese and the Frenchman initially on the bench.
In the postgame Theo Hernandez tried to explain: "We had been in for two minutes, we did not need the cooling break. It was nothing against team and coach. Now we have to keep working to win all together. Then people talk, they say things that are not true. Rafa and I are always with the team to help, and è that's the important".
These are the words of Paulo Fonseca on the'incident: "There are no problems with Theo Hernandez and Leao, we do not create cases becauseé this week I spoke with both of them explaining my choice, which they accepted. I didn't see that they stayed on the field during the cooling break, but they had been in for two minutes and didn't need to stop or directions. The players's reaction to entering the field è was positive, so let's not create problems that are not there".
